The 2010 first-year sensation is due to have a 30cm metal rod running down the inside of his lower leg removed later this month.

But it is believed his surgeon is troubled with a slower than expected healing rate in his broken bones.

There is also concerns that important tendon repair has not responded and could require further surgery.

Barlow, who turns 23 this month, suffered his shocking break in the Round 14 clash against Port Adelaide at Subiaco Oval in Perth when he crashed into teammate Rhys Palmer in a marking contest.

He snapped the tibia and fibula bones below the knee in the horrific collision and his bone restructure was described by surgeons as fitting a "jigsaw".

Recent assessment and scans have shown slow growth and further surgery has not been ruled out.


This makes me want to vomit - as he's my favourite non-eagle

Can't imagine how it affects you guys

Hopefully it's just a minor one- but i don't like the sound of the bolded bit

Re: Barlow suffers setback

If it was anyone other than that muppet Hagdorn I'd be more concerned.

'Barlow is understood ...'
'But it is believed Barlow's surgeon is troubled ...'

**** off you useless piece of shit.
 
Re: Barlow suffers setback

I don't think anyone (but Barlow himself) thought he was going to be playing in the early rounds. If he can get his body right to play from around mid June I'd be stoked.
 
Re: Barlow suffers setback

Hackdorn..

The break was not fitting a 'jigsaw'. It was a clean break, completely different to someone like Nathan Brown's break etc..

He'll be fine, just hack reporter's looking for a story.
 
Re: Barlow suffers setback

The club has invested what is reported to be around $100,000 for the trump midfielder to use a state-of-the-art compression bubble and treadmill.

Barlow has been running on a treadmill surrounded in a giant “bubble” below his waist.

The device originated from professional sport in the US and is called the “Alter-G Anti Gravitational Treadmill” with ability for medical and training staff to control the degrees of atmospheric pressure a runner endures during his workout.

The high-tech device is a big hit with American gridiron football franchises to assist in restricted weight bearing running for bulky and burly players as well as athletes in latter stages of their careers.

Fremantle is understood to be considering getting at least one more of the anti-gravity machines to possibly prolong the career of giant ruckman Aaron Sandilands, as well as champion playmaker and captain Matthew Pavlich.

This sounds pretty interesting...


In other news: FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU...............

Re: Barlow suffers setback

What this stupid journalist who wrote this nonsense failed to mention; Freo have secretly undergone a radical trial in bone breakage rehab for AFL players...

This process is some what "X-perimental" but earlier trials has seen the patient come back significantly Bigger, Stronger and Faster.

Please welcome to 2011: Michael Barlow V2.0

Re: Barlow suffers setback

Story repeated by Karl - minutes later he reckons he had a couple of calls from Freo saying the story is untrue. Let's hope so.

Football hacks making shit up in the off-season to justify their pay cheques? Say it isn't so....
 
Re: Barlow suffers setback

Joke journalism at it's best...if a medical practitioner / surgeon / specialist decided the share 'his troubles' on a patient re a confidential matter with the press he'd be out of work. I would have said that ethics and journalism are strangers at the best of times but Haggers is not really a journo

Re: Barlow suffers setback

advertisers play per click, so if the page is getting traffic, it's more likely rabble rousing journos like hagdorn continue to ply their trade. it's a catch 22.
 
Re: Barlow suffers setback

Need to forward this story on to Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, so they can call for Hagdorn's assassination. At least what Wikileaks releases isn't completely made up.
 
Re: Barlow suffers setback

To be fair to this unimaginably useless gobshyte, he's right in that they haven't ruled out surgery. They just haven't ruled it in either as there is no need.

In a semi-related piece...I'm happy to announce that Halle Berry hasn't ruled out getting naked with me this weekend, so that's good news.

More good news or bad I guess for you, is that she also has not ruled out getting naked with anyone who asks... er, that is for anyone who can put a story together without relying on "It is understood" and "It is believed" :D
