Does he pity them?

Oh, and what? Mick injured? That's worse news than the MRP malarkey.

 

[PurpleWizard]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Fremantle is too much of serious club to be making these kinda jokes

Really bad news for Freo, 2 superstars now missing from the biggest match this year so far

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

***** me. When do we get some luck?

 

[gaskin]

Tough run coming up so it couldn't have really happened at a worse time.

Not that big a deal. We were 2-2 after 4 rounds last year and still made the GF. We also won games where we had several of our 'big names' out. Pav, Sandi, Luke, Walters, Balla, Fyfe all had spells over the season and we did ok. Our depth is going to get us over the line. Looks like Morra might get a look in a bit sooner than he thought. I'm also tipping Neale to star in an inside role against the Hawks.

 

[jusjoshin]

Well, looking at the glass as half full. He took a knee injury and he's only missing a month or so, not a season.

 

[Ragtooth]

Barlow has been great. Adding one or two goals a game. Ball magnet....hopefully more 4 weeks than 6. Gutted

 

[Thistle]

Just when it looked like we would field our best 22 for the hawks with Clarke coming in we are now missing three of our best players

 

[Alfonz]

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if we've played all of the finalists by Rd 10.

If it ends up being 6 weeks, Barlow will be missing games against Hawthorn, Essendon, Sydney, West Coast, Port, maybe even Geelong ... god damn. They're probably the 6 best sides outside of Freo.

 

[Purple Lad]

I'm a sad panda.

HAHA at least he can joke about it.

 

[Arcassius]

Suban was sent into the midfield as cover last season from memory - wonder if he and Neale make us too small in there, but 2 of of Subes, Neale, Sylvia would go ok as a second string.

I reckon we'll see more Walters in the middle too. Walters vs Cyril in the middle this week would be DELICIOUS.

 

[pavsbootlace]

Bloody hell. I hope Sylvia is ready to go.

Haha Mr Barlow you joker

 

[Freo_4eva]

This can get f***ed.. given the draw we needed our best for the first half of the season.. our two best ball magnets gone + tall defender gone against forwardlines of quality talls in the next 2 weeks.

 

[Simmofreo]

I just don't friggin believe this !!!!!!!! We were going so well. We all know how long freo's 4 week injuries last.

 

[Taylor]

On the bright side, if we can get through this period strongly then we are in even better shape than I thought.

Sans Barlow, Fyfe, Dawson but plus Sylvia, Ibbo, A Pearce?
