There's a bloke out there waddling around that sure looks like Barlow. But it can't be him.
His jumper fits
Sounds like a nasty hamstring/knee injury to big Sam Day.

Dislocated hip.
Gawd that doesn't bear thinking about.
lol.
Ok, I guess I don't follow enough Vic media. I haven't seen or heard anything from him that deserves the halo effect that he's getting and thought when the AFL captains paid their tribute to Pav, his was extremely meh..

So awful seeing Barlow running around in that guernsey. Will never feel right to not see him in purple!
Wasted talent.

Talented but jetta 2.0
Not just the media. In 2015 Murphy was named all Australian captain after finishing equal 70th in the Brownlow medal count with 5 votes.

Not that I think he should have been awarded the meaningless AA captain position, but what do Brownlow medal votes have to do with a defender's ability, and why does this matter for captaincy. Or for that matter, who should have been awarded captain in 2015?
I think it's obvious. Presumably the AA captain has had a standout season which implies he has polled well in the Brownlow. In other words highly visible , certainly more than five votes.
In his scintillating 2015 season in the opinion of the media, he averaged 22.5 disposals over 21 games; hardly breathtaking form worthy of AA captaincy.
Who should have been the AA captain in 2015 ? It is irrelevant. We were talking about the absurd media fawning over Bob Murphy and I stated it went beyond the media, ie: the AA selectors.

Bloody heck Bill Lawry is 80, not going bad at all considering.
What'd he score ?
That's a simplistic way to look at it. Glass was AA captain in 2012 and got no votes as far as I can tell.
Bob has the misfortune of having his coach give him a pity medal on the dais and people suddenly find a million ways to hate him.
Not sure but I bet he did it bloody slowly.
Don't hate him. I reckon he's a genuine nice bloke.
Bob Murphy is an above average footballer but far from a star. This whole conversation is about the media pushing Bob's barrow continually, particularly by that pisstank Robbo.
So... who's idea was it to let Henrques bowl the 19th?
