No I'm not. I would only be slightly annoyed if Barlow got dropped, because 90% of the users of this site will be in the same boat as me. I've just read the opinions of Fremantle supporters and a lot of them want him out of the team this week, replaced by a younger guy like Blakley or Langdon. Now ultimately it is up to the coaches to decide the team and Lyon usually sticks with experience over youth, but to think he is completely safe in the side I think is overrating Barlow as a player. Even Mayne this week said no one is safe in the team when they play like that.

Fyfe, Mundy and Neale are all now ahead of Barlow as inside mids and he isn't good enough to play in any other position. He'd want to play well this week. Barlow even said in a radio interview today that he worries every week that he'll lose his spot.

The problem for Barlow is not that he played badly. It's that he played badly in a way that reinforces the pre-exisiting concern that his kicking is not up to afl standard. Lyon has identified kicking as our key area for improvement so Barlow would want to lift that aspect of his game quick smart if he wants to avoid a stint back in peel.

That said, there are probably 3-4 blokes who would get dropped before him so probably safe for now.

Was it an exceptionally looooose tag? Fyfe 73% forward half and Dunkley 66% forward half.

You mean Fyfe got 73% of his possession in Freo's forward line? It makes sense doesn't it? In the Fyfe vs Dunkley matchup, Dunkley tagged Fyfe when he went forward, resulting in Dunkley's low possession count in Bulldogs' defence. When Dunkley wasn't playing on Fyfe(On the bench), he was free to collect the ball in Bulldogs forward line, explaining why 66% of his touches were in the forward line, as he didn't need to tag Fyfe.

Robbo to Zorko anyone? Gain a pod and pretty sure Zorko scores well when Beams doesn't play (could be wrong)

Already have him Now to decide who to start out of my four Essendon DEFS and Adams lol

Gresham named again is good, hopefully he plays well, otherwise I'll probs move him onto Hewett next week
