Are The Dockers Tanking?

[Dr Whoooooooo]

Are The Dockers Tanking? They are making many strange decisions ... both on and off the field

You mean like resigning Ross?

 

[JeffDunne]

Ross Lyon supposedly can get ordinary teams into GF's.

So obviously the answer is "yes".

 

[dockshark]

I dunno. But I have absolutely zero respect for Richmond, and being belted on your home ground in cyclonic conditions by a club you have zero respect for is bloody hard to swallow.

 

[Van_Dyke]

 

[Suma Magic]

If Barlow doesn't get a recall they are.

 

[Donakebab]

You mean like resigning Ross?

They wish he was resigning.

 

[dockshark]

If Barlow doesn't get a recall they are.

Why would you recall Barlow? The last thing we need is another midfielder who consistently fails to hit targets or put the ball into a position that advantages us. 39 last week, 44 this week and very, very little impact on the outcome.

 

[DanWA]

Nah

Ross just doing know how to coach

But I haven't traded him yet in Supercoach.

He basically won peel the game.. he kicked 3 goals in the wet.

Would have Balrow before a few of them out there.

He was great today

 

[Sir Deadly]

If we haven't won a game after round 12 then yes, we probably are.

 

[free tara brown]

Just a reversion to mean. This is Freo's natural state: shit.

 

[Sherrinator]

I wish they wouldn't try and ruin our draft position.

 

[boncer34]

Duh

 

[sonnywalters]

Barlow has been sh*t for 2 years.

 

[dockshark]

He basically won peel the game.. he kicked 3 goals in the wet.

His goal kicking had always been good. His midfield work is subpar though, and was this week as well as last week. 44 possessions is flattering.

 

[Angus Young]

It seems that way... it's hard to be this shit unless you're doing it on purpose.

 

[Suma Magic]

Barlow has been sh*t for 2 years.

It's all relative though. He's still much better than the blokes being picked.

 

[dockshark]

He was great today

No he wasn't. His ball use ranged between average and shit. Collecting heaps of the ball should be par for the course for an AFL player at WAFL level. It's how you use it in the much slower, much lower pressure WAFL environment that matters. It's here that Barlow consistently let's himself down. The goals sugar coated a very average performance.

I watched the game.

Ball use was fine given the conditions.

Yeah the 3 goals he kicked had no impact.

Again...disagree. His loopy high kicks put the target under pressure many times today. I'm windy, shit conditions you keep the ball low and sharp. Additionally he fired out too many handballs to players under pressure. I've been a big Barlow fan, but he is not the answer to our current issues.
