Goodes puts hand up for Swans' ruck role

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.
