Dow can still be a wow factor: Teague

But Teague said the club believes Dow – who was once referred to as “Paddy Wow” by his teammates – can live up to his potential.

“His first quarter looked really strong until he got that black eye and couldn’t see out of it. He has had a couple of little niggles [since then] but he’s back fit now and played really well last week,” Teague said.

“The last time he played, it looked like he played with a sense of belonging and belief at this level. That’s what he needs to do.

“When he goes back to the VFL, he looks like he really believes in himself. We believe in him, we want to see him at his best.”

Dow gets his first chance at senior level since injuring himself in the round seven win over Essendon, while Fisher returns for the first time since round two and has been sorely missed by the Blues.
