It will be interesting to see how we go against Sydney now we have flicked Mick. I always had reservations about his appointment: alas my worst nightmares rather than my hopes came true.
Now we have a new coach, even if it is for half a season. We shall see if he can make us play with more desire.
It is often the case that a new coach stimulates a team to a win first up. I would not put my money on that happening this week, no matter how good Barker is. With Judd and Gibbs out we are not likely to get the ball out of the middle that often.
Graham should come in, but if the scuttlebutt is accurate Barker doesn't rate him. Where he starts will probably demonstrate just how accurate the scuttlebutt is.
I wonder if Barker will be as fixated with Jones as Malthouse appeared to be? In fact, I wonder if we'll be able to notice the difference in the game plan?
