Ed Barlow

[Carlton Kid]

I didn't get to see Ed towards the end of the season. Am I right in thinking that he will play in a KP role? Will he be able to fit in the Swans 22. The Sydney supporters seem really rapped and pleased about him so I was wondering if you guys could explain more about him. Will he play forward or back. How many games next year?

All help will be greatly appreciated.

He's in the mould of an Adam Goodes.. good height very quick with a very natural ability.. kicking game's not that great at the mo and judgment needs to be worked on but really exciting to watch as he likes to take on players just like Mr. Goodes..

The kid will be a star, would hope to see him play minimum 10-15 games next year. To my knowledge he is one of our best performers in our 3km time trial, also was up there in the sprints of his draft class, for a bloke around 190cm thats outstanding.

Loves to play on and run with it, sometimes to his demise but IMO the Swans need a few more players which will back themselves, playing with gay abandon.

I'm very much looking forward to the following years, watching him play in the Red and White, plus he's from down my way so I have a bit of a soft spot for him too.

Just out of interest, are you asking this for Dream Team prospects?

Was the youngest bloke in the side to play finals last year so was in the best 22 at the time. I could see him playing every game this year. Tall player who likes to run.

I absolutely love this guy, he has the confidence to back himself. Took on his man plenty of times on his debut and is very pacey. As others have said, he is like another version of Adam Goodes, we like to call "White Goodes".

I wouldn't be too surprised to see him play the full 22 games. He never got dropped ever since he debuted for us.
