I reckon he has an insider giving him some info, in return for a future favour...

Dow this will probably be your chance to show the club what you are capable of, I'm right behind you buddy!

 

[BlueTang]

If Hewett out is Dow next in line?

Is lob in and acres to mid an option?

I hope it is Lob in, Ed emergency. Would Love Ed in that role

 

[BigFrizz36]

Voss reflecting on the dual ruck conundrum on 10 news stating that many had forgotten as to whether pitto was actually ready to play.

Made me think that he will come in. Could be wrong though.

Yeah I want lob in the side. I wanna see more of those run/bounce and shot on goal. We desperately need a player that can do that.

No George
Confirmed CH7 news

Durdin IN

 

[RAPPA]

Our midfield is as decimated as their backline

Hmm our midfield is looking thin. Missing Hewett and Walsh.

Further confirmation Dow only comes in for Cripps or Kennedy. All 3 playing together would make our midfield spread and defensive pressure terrible.

Durdin up forward, Ed more midfield minutes. Maybe Fisher/Doc/Martin pinch hitting.

This game is going to be trying to wrestle with one arm tied behind your back for both teams

Point me in the direction of the Tiger who stood on his hand.

Another week another injury. Lucky this one isnt a serious one...

Its now or never for Paddy Dow.

 

[Jucman]

Dow was very good last week at Punt road

 

[Bletch]

Dow not amongst the emergencies.

 

[carlton_99]

Surely Pitt just had to come in this week. Owies very lucky - really not a fan of the three small forwards

 

[HereComesJuddy]

It's never

* ME CAN WE GO ONE WEEK WITHOUT A PLAYER GETTING ******* INJURED JESUS ******* CHRIST

 

[Jay23]

Most teams on the weekend play two rucks, pies, and Melbourne great examples.

Not sure why we think pitto and TDK won’t work.

Not sure why people assumed Dow would be included. We saw late last year Vossy preferred to shift the magnets around instead of bringing him in.

4 goals in a VFL practice match is a good sign, but let's not go overboard and forget what it is - a VFL practice game.

My guess, Doc into the midfield rotation. LOB as sub again.

 

[HarryFlashman]

This is horse s**t, mid fielder goes out, Dow ignored and under done Durdin brought in.
Getting smashed in the mid field but hey- let’s just make it weaker. So so dumb

 

[BIuebagger]

No Dow as emergency with another mid out says a lot about his status on the list. Was wanting Pitto in as well, and not to have JSOS ruck again. Owies, Motlop and Durdin need to hit the scoreboard with the 8-12 touches they will get.

If no late changes, LOB sub again.

 

[Arr0w]

Even with the Hewett, not surprised by the one change

 

[Jeremias]

Team selection very vanilla.Big calls could’ve been made but haven’t,disappointing.

Why is it disappointing that the MC didn't overreact to a missed opportunity?

 

[BlueTang]

Bit disappointed with the team tbh. Think switching out Owies/Martin would make sense and probably rewarding Dow.

Don't know what else Dow can do to get a run, must be pretty soul destroying for him.

Not sold on Voss just yet, he doesn't seem very adventurous as a coach & he didn't change up the team too much last year either

 

[Juddrockz]

It's never

Seems that way now.
