Dow was playing good football throughout 2018 and 2019, and has gone backward since. Don't blame the players for the chronic failures of the club. If he was at one of the better development clubs he would be flying.

And we're now 6th!!!
No one remembers whether you won ugly or pretty!

But he does have some idea what he is doing.The biggest contribution from Parks is that he provides a stronger, less panicky option than Plowman in the last line of defence, which allows Plowman to be a better player.

Yep, I think he will become a tough, uncompromising cool customer for us. Loved his tackle on Lokosius. Certainly gave him something to go on with.

We had a family birthday celebration last night so I was following progressive scores and have only managed to see the last quarter.
We pretty much dominated that and should have had a least another 2 or 3 goals.
Really felt for Jack and I'm not sure whether that shoulder (I'm assuming it's the same one he injured in Round 1) doesn't need some immediate surgical attention. I can't help but feel he was rushed back, but players playing through injury seems to be par for the course with us. Even though I only saw the last quarter Saad also looked a bit proppy, Plowman should have been straight off (probably stayed on because of the rotation issue) ...and Cripps probably carried injuries into every game last year.
I suspect Kennedy showed more in the short time he was on than some players showed for the whole game....but I'll have to watch it to confirm that.
A game we were expected to win.
A tight scrappy game.
Often in the past these are ones we dropped, so to come away with the win is a positive

My only comment until I watch the replay....

We toughed out a scrappy game in difficult conditions.
Backline.
Ability to lock the aggot into our forward half.
Dislikes:
Dreadfully inconsistent umpiring.
Composure, or the lack thereof, in front of goal - should have won this game by about 3-5 goals.
Most of our guys did their jobs when it was their time. Really pleased with the efforts from lesser lights - Parks, Cottrell and Kennedy when he came on.
With the conditions you cut guys a fair bit of slack but still disappointed with the below average results from Casboult and Dow. I think next week we should see Williams for Dow and Kennedy for SOJ. If McGovern gets through the Magoos okay then him in for Casboult.

McGovern was good in the 2s. Timed his leads very well. He might come in for JSOS. Play him more a focal point rather than a 3rd tall and leave Casboult to just 2nd ruck as I doubt they are dropping him for that rucking reason. Williams for Dow definitely. Kennedy for Setterfield.

Kennedy for Setterfield.Was good to see Levi starting to use his weight and strength again around the ground, that's the first time I've seen it this year. It's his go. He should ignore the tap stuff and just muscle opponents and try to get a handball away and if the ball is pilfered by an opponent he should be smashing them in a tackle every time, even if he gives away a few frees it'll start making some space for Walsh and Cripps.
