Barlow's Future - 1 Year Wonder or Star?

[Master Q]

Anybody think he could be the next big star, eg: Judd & Ablett. Or do you think he's is just a one year wonder?

He's showed alot of poise this year. Reckon he could just keep on growing into an Elite midfielder unless he starts coping alot from other teams.

Next year will tell the tale. Look at Rich from last year. Has had a pretty quite year this year because he's gotten more attention.

Barlow will keep it up I think

[valkorum]

Barlow has already had the best 2 taggers in the game go to him.  2 weeks in a row in fact.  Round 3 (Ling), Round 4 (Jones) and he did well.  I think he can be a quality player for many years to come, whether he becomes a Judd/GAJ will remain to be seen.

he's not going to become GAJ/Judd he is already Barlow ;D

Ok I worded it wrong :P

To be in the same quality as GAJ/Judd would be a massive win/find for the Freo footy club.

Maybe he'll be better than GAJ/Judd how good would that be
do you think it will be worth breaking the "2nd year player rule" and getting him in DT/SC sides next year??

[bunyip]

He's a gun. He'd actually make a good replacement for Gablett when he defects, how much do you think Freo would want foe him ? ;D

[Justin Bieber]

Pods + Corey :P

[bunyip]

Hmmmmmmmm. I'm glad you're not his agent ;D

[Justin Bieber]

I was going to throw in Selwood as well ;D. Maybe even Scarlett ;).

[bunyip]

Tell you what Helly, just give Freo everyone and we'll build a new team around Barlow. We want some priority draft picks though.......Oh yeh, and we keep our coach

Not sure, he will be priced as a premium.  The fact he is a mature aged player makes me lean slightly towards him being a viable pickup next year.  Much like Broughton this year.  Ask me again during pre-season next year.

At least Selwood or Chappy ;)

Nah. He'll go back to the Bombers 8).

You have a coach already, why do you want 2?
