Isn't Barlow the same age as Joel?

Hoping Battle is there at pick 24, looks a more complete player at this stage.
Kerr has that shoulder to worry about aswell.
Im not sure I agree he is more complete either..just a better convertor. Will be interesting to watch who becomes the better player.

Roughly. Not that it is a problem. Vdubs is right, we were beaten by Sydney because of midfield depth. I'm becoming more pro Barlow by the day.

Think it's more spread from a contest on the outside that is the issue for us, so often we win the contested ball and turn it over after it has left congestion.
Mid depth had us 7 goals to zip? .. Our overall team quality had an neg affect , the starting plan /mindset as well. To come out and be that poor after our KP loss was inexcusable imo. .... and for some reason we didn't even play Cockatoo who showed in the VFL the week before that he could influence a final. If we did lack mid depth in our 22 , its because of the team we selected. ... and Id have thought to some degree the amount of inside 50's at least indicate some sort of parity in their share of ball. Perhaps we lack the ability to go both ways , certainly lack the ability to max our chances....and one of my big hopes in the mid area , our ruck , was very average.
Barlow definite no for me.
Ross Lyon is not in the habit of jettisoning players with fuel in the tank in favour of youth.....
I think Barlow is running on empty and reckon his decline started midway through last year, Freo's struggles late in that season, were partly as a result of his loss of form.
Suspect he would give us value immediately, but would he be running and competing with those Bulldogs and GWS midfielders next September? No, and that is what our side needs to be built for.
And Chris Scott could not be trusted to only use him sparingly or in case of emergency to be honest....

You do realize that 50 % of all list management decisions at all clubs fail.
Well that puts an end to that
How many times does trading out a best 22 player for an old, depressed, and perpetually-injured player work out?

Pure_Ownage Brett Eddy worth a look given we've given Mitch the flick?
When the cap space cleared allows for our trading last October. You conveniently keep forgetting that important point.
Would've been better off trading for a draft pick.

Only Collingwood were interested in trading for Travis given his wage at the time. They needed help to get Lumumba off the books.
You keep ignoring important details, maybe you shouldn't.

Thoughts on Luxford to also be delisted shortly?
He's been pretty good for Collingwood the last couple of years.
Not a champion, no, but a lot better than Clark.

In hindsight yes but at the time it was worth taking the risk.
