Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 16: Carlton vs Fremantle

[kruddler]

Just watched some of the replay again. I absolutely loved the audacity in Paddy Dow's game. He laid tackles with fair dinkum grunt, looked his oppo in the eye while he disappeared in the distance, and stole the ball out of their hands with total disrespect. He's developing a real edge and I like it a lot. Dare I say, there's a hint of Judd about him. He played very well with  Kennedy. Their time together in 2's was  on show.

Great stuff Paddy, take a bow?

I made some comment about his game in the pre-season where i was giving him a wrap and said he broke away from a pack like Judd.

He does a few Judd-like things.
Not quite the size, speed, endurance of Judd, but certainly has a few of Juddys tricks which are more than handy.
Thats why the boys called him Paddy WOW in his first pre-season.
Now his confidence is starting to match his potential and we are seeing results.

Starting 4 of Cripps, Walsh, Dow and TDK looks to hold us in good stead for 2022.

Pretty much the same height as Juddy.

Judd added a few kg & muscle bulk as he matured....Dow will too.

As has been said many a time, when you're taken at #3, the expectations are high and patience is thin.

Good luck to the lad, looks a very likeable type.
