Joel Bowden - low scores?

[ravadongon]

I haven't watched any of the Tigers games this year, but what is the deal with his low scores? Is he playing a different role this season (i.e. got a direct opponent)? I'm thinking of trading him for Heath Shaw or someone else who is scoring more highly.

I'mh having the same problem, I watched the Richmond game on Sat and he played mostly in the midfield. I actually thought he was off for a lot of the game because he hardly got a touch.
g of trading him for Gilbee..

Hope your still thinking, ppl don't like gilbee, but he was one of 4 certainties in my team pre rnd 1. He's supercoach gold, the doggies use him, he's one of the best kicks in the afl, he's a gauranteed quarterback style player cause he aint tall enough for key forwards, such as bowden when the going gets tough for the tigers, and aint a fwd option (ie goddard) but still plays as 3rd man up for free defensive marks (sometimes contested, you little ripper)
But ah, yeh he umm, he can't possible last.... and seeing no-one has him.... should prob stay away and leave him to score for me...

Sorry I missed that?

I don't know if his form is still up to the same standard but in '05 I think it was, he was leading the league disposals for most of the season (not too sure about the end though) so I think he is a very good scoring player. He has scored 295 points in SC so he could be very useful for your teams in SC/DT. LOL sorry to break your hopes Diceman but I have him to so everyone else should stay away. LMAO
