Of course he deserved a block of games...his non-selection is not healthy in the locker room...remember that Dow wlll have team mates who are feeling for him being made a pariah by Voss
MV is angry at him because he refused to be traded and as a result, we had to offload Setterfield
That goes to the character of MV...pig headed and vindictive!!!!!
FWIW...and I know I'll be in the minority, but Dow has more upside than Setterfield
When you put it this way, my ears prick up.
I could believe that about MV and the Dow relationship.
Setterfield or Dow? That is the question.
Both young.
Do you want to believe that about Setterfield, Dow and MV or do you know?"
I like the story Dow wanted to stay and earn his spot in the AFL team.It was even discussed on SEN...but I had intel from earlier in March from a genuinely reliable source
Yes it's true nobody wanted him at current contract, but he was not willing to consider a move
He told the club he has friends at Carlton and wanted to win his spot back
Let's just say that people weren't happy with this answer as they knew that one of he or Setterfield had to go for list/cap space
He is being made to pay for putting a spanner in the works, rather than putting him at AFL level to prove his worth
This has nothing to do with what he does without the ball blah blah...that just suits the narrative
And...this is just a crazy conspiracy theory of mine so please take it with HALF a grain of salt...imagine he was brought into the team and played well??? Now that would be an awkward
conundrum for MV. Let's keep him in the 2nds all year so they don't have to contend with that "problem'. Supporters would burn down Ikon park if he were dropped after having played well
Tell me the last Carlton player in the last 20 years who's been banging down the door for so many weeks, in a midfield that needs some zip and at a time the team isn't performing well???
