Thomson Dow

[Stig]

Can play when given the opportunity

 

[Smoking Aces]

He also has the hunger. Something our more experienced players have lost.

Lol.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

That backline is a steaming pile of *smile*.

He has certainly earned a contract, if up to me would be waiting on boundary with pen n paper in hand

 

[Scoop]

Dead cat bounce. Don’t ignore fours years in a half.

Hopefully he plays the rest of the season to show if today is a fluke, or that he has learned some lessons and improved.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Easily my highlight on a dark day.
Gets another year.

Agree. Slow. Can’t kick.

Play him the next 2 games.

His brother seems to be going ok after a few years of not looking any good.

Is there such things as flukes in an AFL midfield?
I suppose Lounder kicked 4 but a forward is easier to fluke than a midfield game

 

[Tigers2011]

Dropped away after halftime and his lack of speed is a concern. Kicking was ok, but needs to improve if he wants to be an elite mid.

Found the ball in the first half at least. Let’s see his last two weeks.

True I suppose the positive is he did it when the game was hotter.
Does he need to be ‘elite.’ ? Think Hewitt at Carlton, Caldwell, Hunter Clarke ..

 

[UKTiger]

Does some good things and then some bad but that is the current Tigers disease. Not sure he has a future with us but give time and a run of games so that we can find out

 

[TigerMasochist]

Worked hard n earnt his quid today. Definitely no worse than a bunch of others with heaps more experience. Entitled to another run next week.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Was one of our best today. We were destroyed by a very mediocre squad. Dow was less terrible than most of his team mates. And kinda useful.

Gotta get another game or two.

How many ‘non-elite’ players can you carry if you want to win a flag. In assessing every player, the question to be asked is can they be a premiership player.

I agree, but some players do grow with opportunity, and there have been truck-loads of Premiership players that are not elite

 

[King Kong]

If he got the same number of chances as Ross, KMac and Graham he'd have a BOG by now.

We’ve had a few ourselves.
