Anyone NOT going with Barlow?

[Torpedo10]

I think he could hurt alot of people, I still reckon he'll avg reasonably(75-85) but not his his best, I think there are better options at his price or downgrade to rookie, might be an upgrade option for some people later in the season tho I have a planned Midfield.

As much as i like the guy i cant see him playing 22 games... he has played 22 games in his career over 2 seasons and come back from snapping both bones in his leg.. he wont be one of the top 6 midfielders and if he is he has to go done as a dt god

[elephants]

I think I am getting on but I'll be checking out the old "clear my team" button later on tonight and we'll go from there.

Tough call on that one FF. It's one injury that contributed to him missing games in both years. With a full preseason behind him...

Once again these are "my" reasons for not picking him ... thats not to say he wont play 22 games at an average of over 100 i just think the odds are against him... if i put him in and he misses games through soreness etc id be peed off so im just going the 4 prems to be safe

Okay fair enough ;D My team will change so many times that Barlow will be in and out over 40 times between now and round 1 :P

Since freo have the bye in R12 with the pies and cats i wont be gong for barlow as i have swan and Selwood

[dswallow24]

rather go with Sloane with that price

Considering him, but I don't think he will be in the top 6 scoring midfielders at the end of the season. If you pick him for round one, you obviously aren't planning on upgrading him during the year.

IMO, I don't see him outscoring Swan, Pendles, Ablett, Jelwood, Murphy, Thompson or Rockliff so I don't see the point in picking him for round one if I don't want him in my team at season's end.

im picking him round 1 and i dont plan on keeping him all season. Is undervalued and at his best he is a keeper and at his worst in myo pinion he will average well 100+ and than during his bye round you can change him to a guy like boyd.

Im starting Swan, Selwood, Barlow so at this point he is a definite to be upgraded unless he can outscore selwood.

Bugger that,that leg aint the same.

+1
Probably turn him into Boyd come the bye

Thanks everyone, that opened up some good debate

[Nails]

Everyone that is saying "he won't be top 6" I don't understand you...

I'd prefer take Barlow at 107 (could be more) and use that 130K to upgrade someone else... as the 5ppg (or so) you'd be losing to the 6th best midfielder in DT would be made up by the 130K you could use to upgrade midpricer > premo

you'd be hard pressed to find a game where Micky B hasnt scored over 75.
He will average over 95, guaranteed.
