No way we'd take him back. That guy has well and truly burnt that bridge.

I seriously thought the last four years that, this guy can really play! Fantastic utility seriously underrated!

Also, anyone think Adelaide should take Barlow? Or leave it to the younger guys to step up?

Also, really hope Stewart gets another crack!

Clark gone, wonder if another club will pick him up

Highly doubt it.
Seeing his reason for leaving Lions was homesick and wanting to return to WAbefore dollars at Dees intervened will Eagles take him? Handy ruck back up whilst Nat recovers.

RaisyDaisy

Vardy is enough Ringo

Wouldn't want to risk both of them, and Vardy has a lot more upside

I'd think it's over for Mitch

From all reports our salary situation is tight (must be paying Smitch bucket-loads for his one year deal imo) so I'd deem it unlikely. He's still pretty sick too imo, so there's a lot of extra baggage in that sense.

I agree with RD, Lycett, Giles, Vardy + a rookie is enough

RaisyDaisy

Yeah apparently us getting Smitch meant we couldn't afford Balla, thank flower

On Barlow he would be a good fit for you guys but think GC will beat you to him they will be looking for an mid like him after losing 2 mids in trade period

I think it will depend on whether Barlow is more interested in the money or having a crack at the premiership imo

I think after this ordeal with the Dockers, it may be prudent to go to the higher paying club (his earning capacity is starting to run thin)

Well it's like any contract job... you earn a lot in the short-term, but when those payments are considered over the duration of one's life it will usually only amount to an average wage.

There's jobs after footy but they rarely pay a comparable salary to an AFL contract

I think at this stage in your career, the money should be the priority unless he's been financially savvy - similar applies to Lids, I know that he will likely win a premiership at GWS, but it will cost him a steady price tag of $600k to do so (the total amount he's forfeiting from his salary).

Then again, others may say it's about more than the money, and considering that winning the premiership is a boyhood dream for many players, it's quite commendable that Lids would sacrifice that much just to accomplish it - it's a big win for the Giants to get a player with the character to do something like that and I really hope it works out (he's likely to get 3 premierships looking at their list at this point  :P )

Very true but as for Barlow playing for a premiership I know GC are nowhere near the Crows are closer but still can't see them winning one anytime soon with the talent of GWS the coaching brilliance of the Bulldogs and the consistency of Sydney plus a couple of other contenders so if I were Barlow I would be purely focusing on the $$$$  :P
