Paddy Dow remains injured and didn't play in Round 3, leaving coaches with no scoring data and no timeline for return at $164.2k. The AMBER signal acknowledges the cheap BE of 24 and speculative upside, but injured rookies with zero form line are liabilities in tight squads. Avoid until he's fit and confirmed in the Saints' side.

Coaching Signal· T3
St Kilda coach Ross is frequently mentioning Paddy Dow in media, speaking as if he would be in the senior team if fit. Community notes Ross formed a close bond with Dow after visiting him in hospital during Christmas 2024. Viewed as a coach's passion project; question is whether his form justifies selection ahead of rising younger guns.
