Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Gold Coast

I don't think Dow was a great kick even in his junior days.

Correct, poor kicking was what stopped him being drafted higher.

Was supposed to be. Kicking was one thing we were looking for when drafting.

It was never mentioned about Dow, his go was contested ball and break-away pace, not ever his kicking. it was his pace that we recruited him for, we had almost no faster midfielders at the time.

Correct...knock on Dow was his kicking at U18 level, today wasnt a big deal win lose or draw anyway, its how we go vs the Dogs/Hawks.
It was a terrible game between two very ordinary teams and both wouldnt have got much out of that IMO.
You cant sack Bolton on the back of that game or really critique games plans, players etc....
GC got the 4 points but not much else and we are where we were when the game started.....

Dow should be dropped till he learns to kick properly.

He nails that 20m set shot late in the 3rd, we win.

And io won't even mention his f... up with 20 seconds on the clock...

What about Charlie Curnow?

Geez he plays a dumb game

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the game.

What did Dow do in the last 20 seconds?

[Micky0]

That was absolutely the worst screwing game I’ve watched in a long time.

We are pathetic and I am over it - we were 20 points up and I knew we wouldn’t win - no composure, kicking skills are completely ducked, can barely mark the ball.  What on EARTH do we do to players when they come to us!???!

And how is it possible that the second best player in our team has played 4 games! That says everything!!!!!

Look sure JH, he was pitiful. Worse than Dow overall, no question.

Our kicking into F50 was laughable pretty much all day apart from a few patches.

Sounded like it was still ok. i know when we were drafting we weren't taking $hit kicks.
