Can’t say I was too surprised with the dropping of Zac, but Micky is an interesting call for me.
Barlow
He had an average couple of weeks at the start of the year, but I thought he was going alright in the last couple of weeks. I think RTB must have been frustrated with his lack of spread from the contest and the fact he is as slow as a wet week (cheers Palmer). But I like to think as Barlow as our version of Prides (down and dirty player). I guess it was a bad decision (although everyone has a PHD in hindsight, not to trade him to GWS for McCarthy)
Dawson
It’s weird the love or hate that Dockers fans have with ZAC. On the big footy board, I mentioned that Zac should have been dropped last week because of his lack of offensive ability (aka he is a liability with the ball) and I got hounded. Calls of you know nothing about footy were bandied about. However, I think he is an outdated footballer. Unfortunately, the game has moved from everyone having to defend in the last 5-10 years, to everyone also having attack (see eagles in 2015). Zac Dawson although a solid defender is a shocking attacker. His skills are deplorable at best and this just doesn’t cut the mustard in today’s game.
Whether or not we play these two players again in the future will be interesting. I’d love to see Micky B come back into the side, but for Zac D, I just can’t see a future.
