Yep, easy to be high when the back line switches the ball side to side when teammates are 30 metres in the clear!

Pay closer attention to what's been happening when he's not switching the ball side to side...

I'm obviously getting too old for this game because I think he is a fine young player who is courageous and plays on small or tall opponents and other than Docherty and maybe Weitering in the vernacular of the modern football commentator has a body of work and consistency of the last 2 seasons better than any of the rest

Having said that like Macreadie Williamson byrne and hopefully will also be good and see their potential etc but will need to improve and sustain consistency over a few years to push the plow out in my view

Ah, the joy of having some genuine competition for places start to emerge in the backline.

I've just read a few posters' opinions on Plowman.
I know they are just opinions but....
How can they get it sooooo wrong. NFI.

We chased him and landed him. He's delivered in spades.
He's quick, has played wing for GWS, and can deal with talls and smalls in defense.
Very good mark. Strong. Kicks accurately whilst being tackled.

Unique. Valuable. Quality.

To those who don't rate him, where do you think he should be played? VFL?

I know we have a plethora of talls, some surplus to our needs, (Gorringe White Jaksch GlassiMac Rowe even Casboult Kerr) but some can play forward, and will.
Apart from the obvious McKay 204 and Curnow 194, there's Weiters at 195 and Marchbank 193 who have played KPF before.
Macreadie has and can played forward too.

Plowman is versatile enough to play midfield too.

I think some posters who find it difficult to find positions for all our good players in the first 22 just drop them.
Don't underrate our good players.
BB is building a team made up of very versatile multi positional players.

Yep, Plow is a gem. He doesn't look pretty sometimes. However, he is efficient, effective and will be one of the first picked every week for the next 6-8 years if plays they way he does now. There is a reason he was picked at 4.

Pretty sure this discussion has been had earlier in the year.

Plowman will be part of our best 6 backs for 10 years....my goodness.

No, No No he should be in the magoos, jaschs shit should be having a go not him!!LOL

Sorry to disappoint...no I haven't.
They're observations that even Denis Pagan's mate could make (you know his mate, Freddie the blind miner)

I think plow is a solid defender. He may improve also. I still think he makes some pretty shocking errors. Good solid player, but think he'll be fighting for his spot of everyone is up and running. Just my opinion which because it differs to some others apparently means l have no @#$%&! idea. Sorry for not lining up with your obviously infallible opinion

I'd say all our defenders make some shocking decisions. Doc included.

Laughable post, that's not the player i watch every week...

GWS gave him away for a reason (he was contracted)!!!!!!

Sure Colourman.

Plowman like many were excess.
Even Treloar wasn't really missed.
I think you believe Plowman is part of the Sumner Jaksch Lamb discards.
That's OK. You don't rate him. You laugh, I think you have NFI.
He's better than that. What do you see behind those colour glasses. Tell me. Curious.

Not quite on topic but Paul Connors was on Open Mike - worth a watch.

I'm curious. Don't take it personal Cranium. Your viewpoint is important.
I explained myself. Tell me where I'm wrong with the profiling?
Mine is a collation of history vision and results.
Like Judd and every other player he has made mistakes, but a couple of mistakes and he's been pigeon holed.

You didn't say anything stupid like he should be in the magoos, he's hopeless or he is unreliable.
In fact I don't know what your history is with him.
I'm generalising. You've taken it personal.
OK, you rock. Are you happy now?

I like your response, it makes sense. I noticed you. You're important.
The rest ...just leave me out of that infallible shit. Lets stick to Football.

I had hopes for Sumner coming into this year. But he seems to have gone backwards. Wonder if he'll stay on the list?

I reckon the following are gone

Dylan Buckley
Kristian Jaksch
Liam Sumner
Ciaran Sheehan
Dennis Armfield
Levi Casboult

might get 3 trade ins and have 3 draft picks

I think you can add Gorringe & Palmer to that list.

Graham & White might hang on, simply because we can't delist too many at once. Give Rowe a one year deal.

Hope the mail on re-signing Rowe is wrong, are we going to try trade him for a 3rd rounder maybe? we really need to move him on now. We were two years too slow with Army, he's taking a list spot that should be a midfielders. Have more than enough key defenders now. He's not helping the young KP develop; he is hindering their development.

Senior depth. He is not hindering at all. Can play multiple roles too.
