barlow finished the season in our best 22, there's no doubt at all he's one of our key young players
will have taken a lot from his handful of games in 07, including playing in a final
 
You cant have the lot without Cheese...ok that was lame

It would be pretty stupid not to have him around next year hes already shown us what a talented player he is in only a few games im sure hes got alot more to show

He's currently a rookie listed player even though he played in the latter part of the year. Swans need to elevate him once the trade an deistings are complete.
 
The BIG CHEESE will definitely be elevated on to the list for 2008.

He's managed to show enough in his first 4 games to indicate that he could be a very, very good player over the next couple of years.
 
I'd probably expect him to play around 10-12 games next season depending on injuries to other players. What do other think?

Hope to see him develop his decision making and his fitness over this off season and into the season proper. These were the only 2 things I could see letting him down. Other than that very very exited to see how he progresses next year.

I know its extremely early but some aspects of Barlow really do remind me of Goodes. Goodes has exceptional decision making skills and if Barlow can improve his he will be a extremely valuable player.
 
He'll only improve as he get more and more time playing in the seniors.
I agree. I think 10-12 senior games next year will be their aim.

He's still very raw....

if he develops as we all hope, i can't see why there'd be any need for such conservatism....look at malch....of the 22 that played c'wood in the losing final, there'd be at least 4-6 players i'd be looking to cut before i got to barlow
crouch, mathews and bevan would be three out straight away, mcveigh possibly a fourth, and then the likes of schneider and leo i'd be asking to prove themselves in preseason before i got around to putting the heat on barlow
 
He'll be our best midfielder since Paul Williams within the next year or so.

He's only played 3 or 4 games. He was great in at least two of them.

The sort of talent we need to build a side around.
 
I thought Barlow showed great potential in the few games he did play.I like the way he runs and he is not afraid to take anyone on.

i think malceski will eventually be held in as high, if not higher regard than even the great willo
and he'll be captain one day too....
barlow will be a coupla years behind malch and still has a bit to do, but yes, he shows great potential and offers us reason to get excited
 
Barlow really was something different. When we struggled with slow and poor delivery into the 50 all year. This bloke came in and played on at EVERY opportunity (even when he marked inside 50...and stuffed up :D)

He's exciting and I'm convinced that he'll turn out to be a great player for us on the flanks (leading from half forward flank)
