Michael Barlow

[theCATSfromHELL]

Yes, he was very good too. I noticed the ABC Footballer of the Year voting they gave Hill 3 votes and Barlow 2. I think Sandi got the 1.

I just can't stop thinking about that 40 metre lace out pass to Ballantyne in the last (?) quarter which he then dropped.

He should be forgiven though, not even Superman could have clamped that fireball.

I think it might have actually been Pavlich. Either or I remember the kick and wasn't it a rocket. Would not have got higher than chest height over the full 40m.

 

[silverscope]

That was Hill on the wing to Pav and Pav's face was pure shock!!! He hasn't had a lace out pass like that since the end of 2006.... Which is why he fumbled. If you look closely enough you can see a little dribble coming from his mouth at the thought of more to come

Lets just hope that Barlow doesnt get "Fremantled". We have a bad record of taking promising debutants and then sending their careers into a lengthy plateua.

it's reall disapointing to here a freo supporter say this. Are you saying if a player plays at freo long enough they will go bad just because they play at freo. something i'd expect for an eagle poster.

Very average post GJ.

 

[23cmonShane!]

Very average post GJ.

Agreed!

 

[sumavich]

Mick Barlow would be the first ever Assumption College alumni to play for Freo. Onya Mick, welcome aboard Warfie Time !

It was an attempt at humour. Dont read to much into it buddy.

The term "Fremantled" could mean alot of different things - depends on your perspective.

Why would any Freo supporter post rubbish like that?
Opposition posters would be carded for that term on our board,how come this twat can get away with it

Perhaps my status as a lovable rogue on this board saves me? Alternatively, it may be because I am a 10 year member of the club.

Shouldn't you be busy having an imaginary lunch with your mate David or calling for Dean Solomon's retirement because he's a cancer on the club?

 

[_GJ_]

I have never called Dean Solomon a cancer. Solomon's hard at it approach was exactly what the club needed. His elbow to Cameron Ling's cheekbone is still a favourite of mine.

fair enough. Id very strongly suggest to never use it again referring to our players otherwise you will get the same outcome.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

So 30,000 got to see the birth of what looks like a Freo champ. Only the die hards get rewarded in footy. Who claims they were there?

Anyway, going to be closer to a sell out in a fortnight you'd think, particularly if you win away against Essendon. Just hope the media attention and spotlight doesnt put too much pressure on him.

The magic of new blood at the beginning of a new season eh

I saw him play virtually every game he played for Werribee during his two years with us and loved every minute of watching him play.

Which club would that be ,twats annon,
cause it certainly aint Freo.

Not long enough IMO GJ ! I'm of a longer persuasion and what you said is tantamount to traitorville IMO ! Happy to have a beer over it, but !
Your shout of course.

 

[kingross29]

I can't decide whether I want a number 1, 8, 23, 29, 31 or 32 guernsey. Two years ago it would have been 29 without a doubt but how things have changed.

In pretty much the same boat. It would have been 29 for many years. Last year it was going to be 40, but I got a number free one, but now its going to be 21 for sure. I recommend you get Balla. He would be my 2nd choice now

this guy is a monster. fremantle deserve some luck but this is ridiculous 2 years in a row!!

Might have to put a few bucks on him for the Brownlow. He's noticeable to the point that you are just drawn to watch him. Sure it's not luck though, other clubs have seen him before, they just wouldn't give him a crack at the top level. He's an absolute star in the making.

 

[pinkus maximus]

this guy is a really good player. I was thinking that we were getting a Priddis type high possession but ineffective plodder but instead we have a player who is a real influence around the contests

I got $101 on him to lead Freo's brownlow count, looking pretty good

 

[paul8241]

Barlow currently leads the league for disposals with 2 games left to complete. He has 67.

Yep, was thinking only half an hour ago that he was an upgrade on Priddis, especially, but not restricted to, his kicking. Doesn't try and do too much with the ball, let's it talk.
