Nup not for me.  Carrol has done enough to remain, and if the scribes are to be believed, you can expect to see Williamson before Dow.

I like Dow, I respect him immensely and hope he makes it but the acquisition of Cerra is a tell that he might be the next cab off the rank for a trade particularly with what Carroll has shown he can do. 

It makes sense.  Hewett and Cerra fill the holes in a way that he cant, which makes him at best a depth option.  If he is happy to sit around and wait for a chance, he could be the next Cripps, but he is too good to waste his time in the magoos and we will need to churn through those spots on the list to find room for other players eventually. 

It was interesting watching Dow in the VFL.  He won plenty of the ball and kicked two nice goals early.  However, he didn’t do much else and had little influence on the outcome of the game.

He did go forward and took a nice mark on a lead but missed the shot at goal.  Unless he develops another dimension to his game, Dow is not going to displace anyone from last game’s 22.

Dow could replace Kemp as the sub but there’s no way Carroll goes out for him.

If it's purely a choice for sub, then Kemp probably gets the nod for no other reason than he could fill a few more different holes than Dow depending on who was getting subbed out. 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.

Kemp wasn’t prominent in the VFL so Dow could get the sub role despite his lack of versatility.  However, I suspect that Willo may have done enough to get the gig this Sunday.

we must NOT bomb the ball  into f50 they would get back and rebound so quick into coll f50 either degoey or elliot or henry one of those players will play the leading FF with space to lead . We need to hit targets throughout the field that is was tigers did .

Our game plan is largely dependant on bringing small forwards into the game around the ground we consistently outnumber the opposition in post clearance. We dont have any leading forwards.

Collingwood's odd have shortened dramatically - started at $3.30, now into $2.48

Punters' money is often a good indicator of where a match sits - although I am hoping this is just a big bunch of Collingwood fanatics having a tonner on the Pies while they are at the TAB for the greyhound races......

The Filth fan base are pretty predictable in their optimism, it doesn't take much for them to become Lemmings that are Leaping, I'd be surprised if Joffa hasn't booked a flight back for the weekend!
