Dow's VFL form has been very consistent but if he's predominantly an inside mid, then he's not getting past the Cripps, Walsh, Kennedy, Hewett, Cerra lineup at the moment.
A number of clubs are rolling the dice and putting 'pace' in as the medical sub, banking on the fact that they might be able to whip someone off with a bogus injury in the last quarter and replace them with leg speed. When we have a full list available I think Cottrell will find himself with that specialist role, which he fills very well.
