[Darkie]

So what are people's thoughts on Bowes?

52 points in the first quarter, but then faded out a bit and only scored another 56 for the rest of the match.

He seems to have scored unusually well early last night when Tuohy was on the bench (/being assessed?) and Bowes took more kick-ins. Then he slowed down a lot.

Stewart’s role could be good for near term scoring, which is obviously helpful for early cash gen.

What he scores after Stewart returns, and how long until that occurs, are factors that I will be considering.

 

[Gruffles]

Would you choose him over a Will Phillips if he gets off the sub vest next week? Phillipou? Toby McLean?

If's and buts... Hollands is delivering here and now!

 

[NT.Thunder]

Did anyone actually watch the game and notice if Docherty's role has changed at all? Or was everyone too busy arguing in here?

Would love some insight on whether a trade needs to be considered for a 600K premium.

No role change, the ball just didn't bounce his way. He was moving well, especially in the last term and there were a number of times when he was around the contest that he was a bit unlucky like MIAS says above.

Bowes has a very SC friendly role,if he continues on that form I'll definitely be looking at Jones to him next week or there after. I was going to take him this week tbh.

Boak will be sub round 2.

[Gruffles]

Wow. This is the first time I can recall of a professional sports player doing the counselling/professional help/education remedial path... and failing?

How hard is it to answer "So Tarryn, what would you do if you obtain a woman's phone number?" correctly?

He did answer..

He said he would spam her dic pics, tell her she's the crazy one for thinking that's unacceptable then follow her around in the bushes!

As a Pies supporter I'm glad he's not starting, such a quality player for so long.

I wonder if Boak will create some SuperCoach interest at a discount price in a few weeks....

Could be the new Giansiracusa. Interesting to see if having the sub as an established gun changes the tactics of it, would be much easier to drag a player at half time knowing the quality you can replace them with.

Word is that he has sent threatening text messages to a female recipient more recently, looks like he simply has no impulse control if that is correct.

 

[Grundogging]

As a Pies supporter that makes me me more nervous than anything, I'd imagine that Boak would be the very definition of a super sub if he was coming on for 30-40% of game time with fresh legs when everyone else was a bit more fatigued.

Yikes!, the guy doesn't learn and even after he's been publicly outed, wonder if North will want to stick with that kind of character.

Going to the footy this weekend. We are AFL members so we can just walk up to most games and enter for free. If I book online not only do Ticketek charge $10.50 per ticket they then also charge an extra $3.50 service charge What a rip off!

Well, interesting to see what happens against the Saints. I'll hold for this game but likely to become Bowes

I think it's good if the club is willing to help him become a better person and stand by him for a while. It's concerning that even after his program, he's still doing this though. These programs aren't light on.

Got invited to a drawn game between Essendon and Carlton about 10 or so years ago. Level 2 AFL members seats on the wing. Just an amazing viewing experience

Yeah but would you field him this game? I'm tipping you have Wilmot on the bench. Who's the better prospecct?

Thanks. Do you think the role is related to Stewart being out?

He seems like one that may be hard to gauge for the medium term by the time we have to make a decision (maybe like JHF being on the bubble before Boak plays a full game). Callaghan could be another.
