Recommitted Paddy Dow [OOC 2023] explored his options, but stayed

[tiger_tough]

Disappointing that Lochie O'Brien (who arguably suffered worse under Teague and his poor coaching and came further back) was able to buy into Voss and his game plan.

Time to move him and see if we can somehow get a 4th round pick for him, and package that with the 4th we have from Port this year for hopefully an late 2nd/early 3rd round pick.

That would be a good result for us

You dont say. Two 4th rounders for a 2nd? Good luck with that

Dow get's an opportunity to prove himself on Sunday...
Tiger fans... He's quickly going from a 4th round pick, to a first round pick...

In all seriousness i doubt he leaves this year. Richmond doesn't need a player like him anyway, we need a contested ball beast

Agreed especially as it looks like Lambert will be forced to retired due to injury.

Dow would be your #1 Mid next year

Prestia - Plays 5 -10 games a year
Lambert - Going to retire
Edwards - Will be 34 next year
Cotchin - Prime example of a player that has played 2 years to many
Martin - Want's to be traded to kings cross

Looking grim, Parker might be your best midfield choice next year...

Yeah no, Even short who is a half back we chucked into the mid is better then dow

Paddy would've got you over the line tonight.

Paddy can't keep up at afl level, Would of just been another getting steamrolled by the swans midfield

 

[La Dispute]

Dow would have nailed that snap Martin kicked on the full.

Does Dow let the Swans back in the game? Dow puts the foot down and they win by 60.

 

[Orange Agent]

I'd be surprised if Voss plays him again. Forget the stat sheet, there is no intensity about anything he does. Just coasts, slow to react, no impact when he gets it. Flogging a dead horse here.

 

[Morro]

Good to see Carlton up and about even after a loss.

Dow is similar to Ross at the Tigers, kills it in the VFL, shows glimpses at AFL level. Difference is, one was a super early pick and the other a late pick.

Both have token trade value.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

A third rounder get it done?

 

[marcmurphy3]

A third rounder get it done?

Most blues supporters would say no but realistically I think the club will accept a pick around 40 if he wants out. Ideally we would ontrade for a player who fills a need in another area of the ground.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

A third rounder get it done?

Probably, I'd rather retain him for that but the kid has enough talent to start in most midfields in the comp. Would be unfair to hold him as a depth player and not let him get the most out of his career. Also, you couldn't possibly demand more for a player who can't hold a spot in the 22. The most relevant example has to be Patrick Lipinski who went to the Pies for pick 43.

 

[Holy Rioli]

Dow for Worpel?

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Dow for Worpel?

Not sure where you heard that.

Straight swap for Newcombe is the rumour.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

A third rounder get it done?

Yep.

 

[Rich01]

Getting 30+ possessions in the 2’s and Setterfield is still preferred as the back up mid. Reckon his papers are stamped.

Would rather see him continue to dominate the 2s than be named as the sub where he may not get on the field at all.

Fair call. But Setterfield ahead of him suggests his cards are marked at the blues.

I don’t think Setterfield is ahead of Dow at all. The sub choice is never that simple.

Both at a critical point in their careers.

Both at a critical point in their careers. Dow has much greater upside.

I do agree with your second paragraph.

But in saying that it’s more of a criticism of Will than a credit to Paddy.

Hopefully he gets an opportunity in the seniors to finally step up and hold his position before the end of the year.

With Cerra coming back and Will next in line I’m not sure what else he can do to get a game.
