And thank god Roos told him to put his hand down and sit back down in his chair. He's done quite enough of that.

I wouldn't mind if Goodes wants to have a few short stints in the ruck, depending on how Pyke is going.

Interesting to see Playfair coming in. He is surely playing for his career. I'm not a big Henry fan, but maybe if he has a Barlow of a game we can cross him off and bring in Vez

Barlow as an adverb ... i like it

"he really barlowed that right up"
"how are you going?" - "barlowed, my cat died"

Technically, you're using that as a verb and adjective respectively (although if you want to take it that the reply in the second example was a direct description of "going", then it would be an adverb, but if you take "how are you going" to simply be a turn of phrase that means "how are you?", which most people would, then the "barlowed" refers to one's current state of wellbeing, which is a noun, making it an adjective).

To use it as an adverb, you'd most likely have to add an -ly at the end. "How did you play?" "Barlowedly. Got three touches, all clangers, but I did take a nice mark." "The car was driving barlowedly down the highway, making clunking sounds and stuff, I couldn't get it over 60, it was really scary." Or you could maybe take away the -ed and make it "Barlowly", but that sounds a bit weird. Sounds like "lowly" though, which could be good.
