The fanfare just reminds me of when Tucky had his breakout year in 2005.
How could the Hawks let him go, how did the Tigers get him at pick #73....
He's doing well for my supercoach side, but I'm not angry that the Tigers didn't draft him.
He'd be dishing out handballs to players who are flat footed, and kicking to a forward line where everyone is playing from behind. He'd be the new whipping boy and the media and opposition fans would be telling us again that we've drafted another guy with poor skills.

I seriously doubt it. Barlow has something Tuck has never had and that's a football brain. His skills are certainly not poor either, rarely see him miss targets which already puts him a mile in front of Tuck. I know you're trying to make excuses as to why we didn't pick him up but I just don't see your situation occuring.

Well the Fothergill-Round Medal is the league's best young player. He did come 2nd in the overall VFL B&F though (JJ Liston) and made the VFL team of the year. I have no idea why we overlooked him to be honest, he would've slotted straight into our midfield IMO with Deledio, Cotchin, Foley, Martin. I know kicking was a big criteria and Barlow isn't elite in that area but I'm yet to see him miss many if any targets and he also has a great football brain. Leysey said it the other day, trying to be too smart can hurt, we went outside the box, drafted a basketballer who had played all of about 3 TAC matches (not saying he won't be good by the way) and overlooked the obvious. Oh well, what's done is done *sigh*.
the hype around barlow reminds me of the hype around Dalziel when he burst onto the scene. be interesting to see how his career goes.
the biggest problem that i see, how does freo recruit a guy playing in the VFA?
Not only to they polish off the cream in the WAFL, now they have come over and raid our local leagues..
Where not the only team that missed out on him, what was footscray and north doing?
Rumours going around was that Matty knights wasnt prepared to pick him up and someone at essendon told one of there old essendon mates at freo..
