burn. Hardingham>Barlow

Lololol!

He's a goog kid, i'll give you that.

It's funny to think that:

Hardingham was training with Freo
Barlow was training with Essendon



... Then the albino walked.



Food for thought.

Why would we take Hardingham before Barlow then?

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

How about you tell me why?

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Was taken a pick after Michael Barlow according to Luke Darcy. Seems we never had the chance to get him anyway.

According to the AFL list was actually taken pick 7 in the PSD. Barlow was taken pick 8 in the rookie draft.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Would rather have Hardingham.

Looks like he's developing fast, makes our shitty delivery into the forward 50 look good, and can kick for goal (was 6:1 heading into the Carlton game, the whole team suffered from inaccuracy that night, Hardingham 2:6).

Will be scary when he's finally getting a good supply. This man is a tonic.

And we haven't even trialed him in the midfield yet.

Has a year to go before he's the same age as Barlow. Watch him run amok in 2011.

Will Barlow be playing by then?...

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Let's ease up on Barlow. He's a bloody good player.

Note the sarcasm.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Both going to be very handy players.

Would love Barlow, but at least we got something pretty special instead.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

it's like myers v palmer all over again, cept at the other draft

 

[Kong]

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Would still rather Myers, honestly.

Palmer's gone from being a good first-year player with a terrible kick, to a mediocre third-year player with a terrible kick.

He's peaked.

 

[Burzum]

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Both will have great AFL careers.

Let's end it at that.

Myers still > Palmer though.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

overrated atm.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Gee, how easy it is to wait until an inconsistent performance to say something...

He's 21, and has only played 3 games so far. Consistency will come with time.

He's done alright so far despite the supply he's had to put up with.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Had Presti on him, didn't expect much.

 

[sup3rfish]

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

will we see him in the midfield this year?

 

[zamboyz]

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Don't think we'll see him in the midfield this year, don't think he's built a big enough tank to become a midfielder, prolly with a big preseason he might make a move into the midfield.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Backline if he's still got the yips.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Yips? Are you serious?!

Punchy at Southbound.

Was a bit lippy/punch down South in Busso over the break.

Boys being boys I suppose.

Re: 34. Kyle Hardingham

Just want to go on record that this guy will be a real surprise packet in the backline this year for us and potential top 5 in B&F. He has amazing athleticism which is all well and good but he backs this up with great competitiveness which I think will see him rarely beaten by his opponent. He is still a rough diamond but I have faith that he will be recognised outside of Barlow's shadow at season's end through some of the work that will be put into him by the coaching department.

Awesome game today.

Very good prediction, i think you are going to be on the money. I was not a fan last year as his kicking and decision making, even in the VFL, was terrible. His improvement has been incredible. Gary Lyon put him in our bottom 6 players in an article this morning, he would not be in the bottom 6 of any club on current form.
