Barlow may be rested this week

[Aaron26]

Call me crazy but i wouldnt be suprised if he was rested or even made the sub, named on the extended bench, they are playing melbourne and hes had a stellar year pushing very hard. They may want to give him the week off and make sure he is fresh for the finals, i would deffintely think twice about putting the big C on him

Barlow is named on the bench a lot of the time.
This means nothing. People see a yellow dot and tend to freak out.....

Delete thread. What a waste of time it was reading this. Unless you've got some genuine info, please don't go around posting your unsubstantiated theories.

Do you have any actual material to base it on??

Barlow will play

[jamfrank]

It is a possibility. Pretty sure Stephen Hill was rested last week. There are a few freo players who've played every game so far this season: de Boer, Mzungu, Dawson, Barlow and maybe some others i've forgotten. This week would be a good one to rest.

HOWEVER: Freo need %, and the dees are on the improve, Ross is consistently quoted as saying he doesn't put anything in the win column, and that you have to respect your opponent. He will be coaching to win, and win big.

So it's possible, but HIGHLY unlikely in my opinion. Interchange will most likely be: Barlow, Neale, Hill with Sheridan or Sutcliffe as sub.

I never said i had an article or anything like that to base it on, thats why the first words written were 'call me crazy'. In saying that tho i hope he does get rested to make you'se look stupid for calling me out when all i was doing was making a prediction and not a flat out statement

haha, I kind of hope so too! It'd be some nice humble pie. And I have good midfield bench cover 8)

But why make a thread about it? All you are going to do is unfairly scare people into making an unjustified decision. Its fair enough to make predictions based on gut feeling but nothing good will come from making a thread like this.

Now you've gone down this path of saying we will look stupid of he's out, how will you look if he's not?

All we're saying is this isn't a place to be posting gut feelings.

Barlow has not played every game

[Chelskiman]

I have decent cover anyway (Stanton/O'Keefe) so I'll be starting him on field regardless.  My opponent also has him, so I'm not stressing at all.

[pommyadam]

interesting to note that the Freo lineup has Barlow playing right in the middle of the park, yet DT has him listed with an orange dot

why is he not green?


edit: wait... this is different to the list the AFL have (which presumably DT use)

[jamin2813]

I have no issue with the thread, as I too think it could be a possibility, but when you use the word "you'se" (which actually isn't a word), you're the only one making yourself look stupid lol.
