It's not what he does when the ball is in range in front of him, it's what he doesn't do when we do not have the footy that I think is costing Dow a spot!
But to not play him now would be to the detriment of the team IMO.
Plenty of guys have been talked back in from the ledge. Until he jumps, there is still hope.
Fans won't see it, they see the contest at the footy, but coaches won't miss it because they see everything!
In this regard you and I had this very same discussion about another Carlton player who was a bit like this in years gone by, how things have changed, I agree they can change for Dow as well. He won't find a better example of that the person he should look up to!
