55 second highlights clip. Love the effort RFC. Used to get 6 minute highlights of pick 47 Brad Helbig but can only muster 55 seconds for a first rounder in 2019.

This year Dow split his football between Geelong Grammar and the Bendigo Pioneers at NAB League level. He also represented Vic Country in every game at the National Championships.

He plays his best football through the midfield where he can showcase his brilliant agility and ball handling to win clearances and either step out of traffic or release using clean and creative hands. When resting forward Dow is a constant threat. His speed off the mark and marking ability mean he is a tough match up for defenders.

We think Dow has huge growth in his game. He has the athleticism and football smarts to develop into a very good midfielder for the Richmond Football Club.

The highlight packages of a whole are absolutely dreadful for the draft prospects this year.

I remember watching Conca’s draft video thinking he was going to become one of the greatest midfielders in the competition.

First thought Is it’s a bit of a reach that would of made more sense if we didn’t get shafted by the afl on Ellis compo

With Robertson/worrell/Bianco/sharp on the board it’s a ballsy pick have to back in our recruiting team once a tiger always a Richmond man

 

[captain blood 17]

Seems a very logical “Richmondy” pick. Happy to have him on board.

 

[Mr Magic]

I hope you are better than your brother, welcome and may you become a superstar!!

draft success fatigue?

Let’s give the kid a go

In fact he moves a lot like his brother, who is only a second year player and has shown quite a bit at times. Our Dow looks to have good energy around the ball a bit like Cotchin, but speedier. No hurry.

Doesnt the afl profile the draftees , hardly think the rfc burns the midnight oil doing draft edits all night of every junior in the country , seriously , get with the program dude

 

[Bojangles17]

Quick, contested ball winner and creative handballer , not hard to see why he’s a Tiger

Up until last year Richmond always made their own highlights of the draftees. For whatever reason it changed and we now have highlight packages that last less than a minute.

That's not how this works

 

[RockJobster0312]

Huge fan of this pick. Think he screams RFC player. Seems to be developing the ability to hunt the ball, nifty at getting his hands free in the contest, has the burst of speed and quick feet to change direction and from what I’ve heard is very good in the air.

multiple position player with high upside. Not sure Stephens or Robertson can sprout those credentials. Give him a season in the two’s and multiple pre-seasons and he could be a great foil to our young midfield.

What’s his tank like...anyone know

So is contested ball one of his strengths? We need that

 

[Stylo]

Looks tenacious. Tigerish, even

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Is that right? Carlton traded 22 and 25 for 20? To use on a player we didn't even want? They basically burned pick 25.

From highlights he looks like he wins his own footy but is more of a silky distributor than a bash and crash bulldozer type.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Hopefully this turns into something similar to. a Jack-Dylan Grimes situation! Welcome aboard Thommo Dow!

22 & 52. To jump ahead of us.
