I understand you're confident in your source, but that's exactly what a player in his position would be saying while his manager is shopping him around for contract offers.

Haven’t watched Dow in the VFL once this year. I can see he has upped his possession count from reviews and hopefully his tackle count. My knock on him previously at AFL level was that he had such a huge turning circle so couldn’t turn in time to apply any implied or real pressure once the ball turned over. He was always left floundering and out of the reverse transition play.
I actually thought that he had been carrying an injury due to his turning circle. Terrible agility.
Is the VFL 2022 version of Dow nimble and agile so he can offer defensive pressure at the source. If not, then he is stuck going very fast one way.

True. But I doubt he is doing that based off what I know.
WTF is this Ned Carl playing for us... Carl this, Carl that. FFS, it’s Cahill.

Is this an informed comment or an opinion?
The reason I ask is because I can't think of another player I've wanted to make it playing in 2's as much as Dow.

Of course things can change in the landscape of afl. But I've been told he is very invested in our club and is wanting to get the best out of himself
Is he actually getting fitter or are my eyes deceiving me?
And
Is there a good reason why he doesn’t put the hammer down and mow some blokes down? McGovern style?

Id say you're very right re getting fitter. And I'd love it if he cleaned people up more also and hope he brings that into his game.

Mate of mine heard the same from someone that would know
Handley & Trudgeon not bad either. All very consistent and good players at this level. Developing well. Of the senior players, thought Stocker & Kemp were a bit down on their best. Dow played well despite a hard tag. Marchy serviceable game. Not that many touches, but when he did disposed of it well. Pitto dominated the hitouts. Will be back next week I would think.

Afl.com.au reporting in their "who impressed in the state league" column that small forward Cory Durdin had 16 touches and six marks but failed to hit the scoreboard ".
Hope that he goes better today.

Watch his highlights & it will answer the question
Yep, mowing people down leads to preventable injuries - just ask Weiters

thanks for the feedback.
im just wondering if he improved enough to satisfy the coaches expectations who does he replace in the seniors current midfield group (Cripps, walsh, cerra, hewett or kennedy)?
Or would they shift some players around to fit him in...eg walsh or cerra to wing or something like that?
Cincotta has been a bankable strength all year. We are oversubscribed for small/medium defenders, but if we were to somehow lose one, he would be a great addition to the senior list. Looked like he played higher up the ground at times last night, wing trial maybe? We have spent the season shuffling our wing options and developing players at both levels during the season. Solutions may be under our nose.
Edit: Cincotta has been obsessed with making it to the AFL, hope he gets there.

Even better watch a full game and make up your own mind.
Cincotta is a beast, definite AFL potential.
Strong body, I think he would be a fantastic utility to have on the list (would be a cheap option to replace Newnes in that sense, higher ceiling too).

Missed the game yesterday, how did Pitto go?
The GWS ruckman went down in the 1st(?) quarter so he and Mirkov had a field day. Got the taps and also got involved in general play. Honestly no point in giving him another VFL game, needs to come straight in.
Great news, appreciate the update.
