I feel like those jumping on Barlow are making a mistake. His scoring ability was never in doubt, just his midfield minutes. Fyfe played half a game and Mundy sat out, so why are so many people seeing this as an indication of how the real season is going to look?

Because everyone knows his talent is wasted on the team leaving him up forward, including Ross. It was aparent last year and its the same again this year.

The consensus seems to be this year will see more mid/fwd rotations.

Barlow should see more midfield time, just like Bennell/Neale/Mundy/Knyfe will probably see more fwd time.

A couple more NAB games to go, so wait & see what RTB does.

Grimley kicked 3 and missed a bunch, and Tipungwati did really well in Essendon intra.

Sounds like Tip will get promoted, played off HB.

I could be wrong but I thought all Essendon rookies were now on the senior list as part of the top up situation?.

Yeah, I understand the logic I just don't agree with it. I can't really see either Mundy or Neale spending any meaningful amount of time forward, nor Fyfe spending too much time there just to facilitate some extra midfield minutes for Barlow.

He's also not exactly cheap, given he's priced at 93.5, so I guess I just don't see the hype. He's a much better potential upgrade after we see how things play out in the real stuff, imo, but each to their own.

Apparently Fyfe was playing with pain killing injections. I doubt that, why would they bother playing him full knowing they would inject him with pain killers?

That is from a supercoach group I am in on Facebook.

He had a poor year last year, he was played out of position and he still averaged 93.5

Other than Dusty, Deledio and maybe Montagna there a few other forwards who look capable of averaging around the 100 mark. IMO 95 looks like the pass mark for forwards this year.

He is a lock for me.

This is why I posted here. Why would any club risk anybody in a NAB game if they are not 100 percent?

Anyway, he is in my side, will need to tear his ACL or a long term injury for me to leave him out.

As soon as I read Facebook I knew it wasn't true.

Where did Tipungwati play, what do you see him averaging? 102k DPP is gold.

They played him off HB.

50-60 probably realistic when playing, if makes it.

Nice little profit if that's the case.

I hope I'm wrong but this bloke reminds me of relton.

Oh shit thats not good

What is it that you see in him that makes you think that?

Seymour Skinner · Feb 20, 2016

Was happy with Corey's game last night.

Didn't think Broad was that good. Don't think he'll be a round one debut.

Pretty sure Marcon is the front runner for the upgrade spot, at least amongst the supporters, so that's a plus.

Did anyone ever see that Collins bloke? At least the other Freo rookie defender scored well.

I love Mabior.

Marcon 102k, win. Just screams in and out of side type though.

I believe they only have to upgrade 2 rookies. That's why Port were having a whinge.
