Spot on Corporal, there's simply no point playing Barlow at half forward to get 16 possessions and miss very gettable set shots at goal. Play him in the middle to win the initial contest and get the ball going our way, or don't play him at all.
And in terms of our ass coaches, we've got the recruiting horribly wrong - one is clearly comfortable with early onset male pattern baldness, the other one has a hair hat. That was just never going to work.
