Alarm bells are ringing for me. He probably won't make my side now regardless of what happens.

Had him in at one stage, knew he's leg wont hold up for the whole season! BYE BYE Barlow thats for sure.

FOUND IY HARD TO FIT HIM IN ANYWAY MAKES MY DECISION EASY

Never really considered him.

This has scared me off Barlow for the time being. Never really trusted that leg and this is the final straw. Traded him down to Neale and then a backline rookie spot up to Broughton.

he is a risk but he had the soreness after he was brought back last season and he kept playing ok, they just don't need to risk him in the nab cup, i wouldn't read much into it at all, it's not like his leg is going to break again all by itself, it will get sore and he will need to get confident on it again but the chances of re-injury are non-exixtant its a break not a soft tissue injury.

It's not the chance of re injury that bothers me CW, it's more that I can't see him playing enough. If he is sore they will rest him. He's sore from playing an intra club and pre season, imagine how bad it will get if he gets a knock during a game. Freo can't afford to rush or risk him. I'm 100% he won't be in my side.

Swan and Barlow have been battling it out for a position in my team, structure wise i have always wanted to drop Barlow but i though he was just too good value, i might do the unthinkable and drop him.

Colliwobblers · February 17, 2012, 07:59:55 PM

yeah your probably right, but morabito and mundy are both also looking suspect, anotehr tough year for teh dockers maybe

SCREW YOU PALMER!!!

Ahh well hello premium midfielders...

DT aside, love Barlow as a player. Awful tragedy if that injury ruins his career. He could be or could have been anything. A brownlow medalist easily for one. I used to like the dockers too but not so much now with the swine Lyon there. BOOO!
