Paddy again! Boy becoming a man!

Dow - officially not a kid any more.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Really happy for Dow. Has done his chances no harm today at all. Go young bull.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Dow has been outstanding! One major error that I've seen with the lack of awareness, which is something he's always struggled with a little.

 

[Yubby]

80-44 now. Dow goal beating 2 with power and strength in the goal square.

I've seen gears from us in this 2nd half.

When Essendon have looked to get some momentum, we've shifted a gear and taken control.

Wonder if the 5-goal lapses of last season have really been worked on over the off-season, in terms of taking back momentum?

great point

We are finals bound guys
Just so many creative players in our team now

 

[FRUMPY]

Just dont go over the top hype with Dow, he will still have his ordinary days and wont play like this every week.....but more signs of this each week will be great and add another best 22 player to this team.

 

[fishncripps]

WTF was that high call on walsh? Holy smokes we really do have the work experience kids on umpiring duties today

 

[BigBreakfast]

DE has been much better this quarter. Like to see some kids in the final term.

On one hand, it was absolutely front on contact. On the other hand, he got hands to the ball, and spoiled it away. I don't know how you award a shot on goal there on the basis of not having eyes for the ball, when he turned and clearly looked and made contact.

80-50 our way, for those not watching.

 

[HBF]

Pretty happy with that qtr.
Reckon Dow has been the story for us today though

 

[The Grover]

Reading all the posts the most positive thing is the guys in the 21-23 age bracket ready to take there games to new levels.

Dow, Fish, Willo, Cunners, Harry

 

[thylacine60]

Anyone travelled "off site" to assess the "it's just a practice game" commentary yet?

[bluemahogany]

Alright put Stocker on now

 

[sparkyblue]

A much better effort that term. Dow finally looking like making the next step.

 

[TBellicious]

We look quite good.
