If Dow is not selected as the sub then surely there is something other than football ability which is causing his non-selection.

I can see the sense in not making him the sub if he's not getting a full game.
He hasn't played a 'full game' in a number of weeks.

But I just don't see why he's not getting a game, as he's been better than quite few when he has come on.
Now you can say, that's because he's come on fresh when others are tiring.
But it really is a case of 'we'll never know, because it's not happening'
And it doesn't look like happening.

Anyway, it's obvious he's gone at the end of the year, and I think he'll go with a fair bit of sympathy and support from a lot of Carlton supporters.

Team balance; how many inside mids can you play without having one play off half back?

Ed coming back in is a bit of a surprise.  Who will he run with?

It's a little confusing because this is how it's showing up on AFL.com

It's our 15th game so I'm not sure why they're telling us about the rd 14 sub-Dow

Lets say we want to go into next weeks game with an unchanged lineup.
It will still say
In: -
Out: Player x (sub)

....because they can't name the sub until day of the game.

Yes, but what it said was 'Rd 14 sub Dow'
How is it relevant who was the sub last week?
I know at least one group that went with Dow is the sub for Sunday based on that.
But it's not a biggie and doesn't really matter much.

Still, On the last point, hasn't Voss telegraphed the sub on occasions a couple of days before the game.

It said R14 sub, because during our R14 match, he was the sub.

As i said, if we want to unchange a side, there will always be 'an out' and it will be whoever the sub was that game.
That same player may have been nominated as the sub in the upcoming game (or he may be left completely out) and it will still say 'sub'.

The number of outs will always be 1 more than the number of ins.

The fact Dow is not part of the emergencies for this week though, ensures he can not be the sub. (unless there is some late changes from the team)

Ed getting picked defies all logic. This club is "F"'ed. Surely it can only be to appease his brother. Cannot be based on form. I'm so disillusioned right now. A real downer. Have lost all confidence with this mob.

I'm not sure this is worth arguing. ;D
I understand and agree with everything you're saying
So really, no argument. ;)
And it's only because we were looking at two different team "Ins and outs" in different sections on the same site.
The fact that the subs for last round were placed alongside the team 'ins and outs'  for this round caused confusion and at least one site went with Dow as the sub for the Hawks game.

Hewett, Honey and Young not playing VFL

Looks like TDK might be missing-Young to ruck and Hewett the sub

Not a good sign at all. Young has not impressed as a ruckman.
Hewett is a good player, but I'm not sold on him as a sub. Maybe it will be a masterstroke, but I have my doubts.
Honey - I can't understand how Honey is getting close. Dow has him covered in most aspects.
Live Long and Prosper!
