Post Game Passion AFL Rd 10: Carlton vs St Kilda

[Shakin77]

Stephenson is going okay.

He is.  Higgins similar numbers.  Naughton much better.  Worpell started like a house on fire, but his last couple of weeks have been down

[ElwoodBlues1]

Dow's draft year is all struggling at the moment. 

Richards has gone backwards. 
Rayner struggletown and suggestions he should be dropped.  Is playing a hard role.
Brayshaw and Cerra good on the weekend have produce similar numbers to the year before.
Clark and Coffield can't get a game
LDC likewise.

Reckon the 2nd year Blues and the fitness staff trying to get some miles into their legs has played a part.

He fatigues badly and like most fatigued players his disposal is sloppy as a result.

With fitness he will have more time and space and will make better decisions.

Watch the replay of his goal against GC last year and bare in mind Hugh McCluggage's improvement in his 3rd year.

In short cool your jets.

McCLuggage is more like Walsh IMO, Dow was a burst player at TAC level getting 35 touches a match but he did butcher a lot of ball and his disposal wasnt his
strong point. But he made up for with goals and constantly being on the move and hard to catch.

Interesting umpiring stat last week. Ex-St.Kilda player Leigh Fisher, 15 frees to 3 St.Kilda's way, apparently contributed 4.3 to their score, the other two umpires 16-20 Carlton's way.

Interesting laj....surely with the roster of umpires available, Fisher shouldn't be umpiring games for a club that he played for?

I saw this yesterday, but dismissed it as 'fake' news....is it possible to verify this at all?

Take a bit of searching i'd say.

I also had it texted to me. I hope the club made some enquires at least.

Apparently the bloke who tweeted it has taken it down but said he got it off the radio after the game. I just went through his tweets.

It's all good shakin.  I'm sure in time dow will be fine.  He needs to do to his goalkicking what cripps did and he'll be fine.

Until then though I expect he'll keep missing.
