I'm really not sure what the point of the Docherty comments was....
You would have to think it was OK'd by the club, but what's the message?
Is it directed at the fans or at Dow?
Dow's busting a gut and playing well at VFL level...so it can't be asking him to do more?
In ours and Dow's mind it clearly indicates that Docherty (and by extension, the club) rates him well down the list.
It also indicates that the likelihood of Dow reinventing himself to claim another position is quite unlikely.
Does Dow take all this onboard.
How does it impact on his relationship with Docherty.
The only positive in the comments is that Dow will likely get a chance at some stage, but he needs to grasp that opportunity when it arises.
Long term I can't see Dow at Carlton next year.
Problem is, will other clubs get an appreciation of his worth languishing in the VFL.
