Title: Barlow
Post by: Chelskiman on May 20, 2016, 12:29:53 AM
Do we trade him or not?  I hate doing sideways trades, but he's been dropped and hasn't come straight back in.  This always spells trouble, but will this mean an extended run out of the side or will it give him the kick he needs to come back strong?

I ditched him last week for Zorko,so glad I did otherwise I'd be screwed this week.
I'd ditch him this week if I still had him as well.

I'm most likely going to as well, but as I said I hate doing sideways trades.  I guess this is a little different than your average sideways as he has been dropped for two weeks.  The thing is I'm always scared the person I sideways is going to rip it up when I trade them out.  Oh well, that's the gamble I guess. 

Plus it's my fault for being sucked in again by Barlow.  I had him last year and said never again but stupidly got tempted by his DPP.  Getting DPP wasn't ever going to change his role/scores, and I should have known that. :(

I'm keeping, only because I've got so many issues this week I've decided to stick with my original upgrade/downgrade and write off this week.

The decision for me is to hold him or eat a donut ...

so definitely leaning towards a trade ...

I'm not sure wtf Ross Lyon is doing not having him come back in after a 30+ possession effort in the WAFL, but as we all know Ross has form - my only guess is ...

tank tank, tankitty tank!!!
it's definitely what we'd all be doing if we were in control of Freo ... blood your youngsters (Weller, Langdon, Blakely, Hughes, etc, etc), try players in different roles (Walters), keep going with the change in game plan, likely get a high draft pick ... all in prep for next season   = win % increase season 2017!!!  8)   ;D    ;)
