Ed Barlow Biography

After 25 games in four seasons, Sydney Swans utility Ed Barlow knows 2010 is a make-or-break year.

"This year is a make or break year for me. I'm really looking forward to it and I'm really excited by the challenge," he said.

"I need to work on being in the game for the whole time and not dropping off. If something goes wrong, I can't dwell on it but instead, I need to always try to be positive and keep in the game."

Premiership tagger Luke Ablett is a late omission for the Swans, with Ed Barlow taking his place for the clash with the Saints.
