Michael Barlow may be a joker off the field but when he crosses the white line, he becomes a physical enforcer.
Barlow has averaged 7.4 tackles in his past five finals, before Saturday’s Qualifying Final, the most of any Fremantle player.
That is two more per game than he averages in the regular season.
He is not alone in his tackling pressure though; Nat Fyfe averaged 7.2 tackles in the past five finals while David Mundy averaged 6.4.
