I thought for a time last weekend he rotated with Fogarty for on ball sessions, and Fogarty had 3x as many tackles.
Last weekend was probably not a good example for the kids, as it was the older heads that stood out for sure ball handling in greasy conditions, and SPS did quite well also. Dow is fumbling so much he loses any breakaway advantage he has.
Dow seems to be very much an apprentice/understudy mid and is probably 3rd or 4th banana as an inside mid from what I can tell atm. Hopefully he is learning and will improve this year.
Reality always wins in the end.
