Re: AFL Rd 12 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

I've been critical for quite some time about Carlton giving up a first round pick for Dow, given it was known one of his problems was poor disposal by foot.
But how can the MC mark a player's papers so early in the season? Surely there has to be something else going on. It's not as though he is surrounded by players with elite foot skills.
Has some deal been done? Why would he be happy to put in consistent performances every week in the VFL unless he needs to keep some other team happy with his ability to stick out the season.
It can only be that the MC have all the stats, data and facts in front of them that we supporters simply don't. When they do the match analysis and look at the strategy and match ups, they have to use all that data to pick the best side for the day. Of course we can be cynical and say we know as much or more but reality is we don't. We are just requesting change for the sake of change maybe?
