AFL Rd 7 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Thryleon]

Walsh and Cerra make more sense on the wing than Dow.  The problem with Dow is, if he isn't having a good game in the middle, there is literally no where else to play him into form even for a spell.  He isnt a good finisher to play forward, and I think isnt a wing player.  Setterfield isnt much better, but Setterfield has a better aerial game and is taller than Dow and if you arent a silky skills winger with a good engine, then you need to be a marking target, and Dow isnt either of those.

His problem is simply that he is too one dimensional, and I think Docherty has that spot on.  We gain more by putting Stocker into the mix, and playing Docherty, Saad or even maybe Newman on the wings, than we do pushing Dow out there.
