[giantroo]

Welcome to North, Micky!

 

[Ligma]

Great get

 

[shintemaster]

I don't know s**t but this seems a good fit - someone that had to get there through work, smarts and developing his own game.

 

[The Nostradamus]

This is big!

Now get McQualter and Dew to round out the assistants

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Sounds like a really good appointment!

Ripping appointment, following Xav Clarke. Senior assistant spot left?… get McQualter or Dew and that’s a really nice looking coaching group.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Spoke very well on SEN recently pre GF said,amongst other things, he coaches effort and intensity when speaking about development

 

[SSSSSS]

Just heard the news. Great get for your club. Have had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to Michael a few times at Chirnside and is one of the nicest blokes in footy I've met.

I wonder if that will open the door for Mannagh to North. That kid deserves to be playing AFL footy. I think he'd be a great fit for your mob as a HFF/rotating mid.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Will relate well with the young kids and will have modern view on the game andcits requirements. Like it

 

[Val Keating]

Welcome to North, Micky!

Love it. We approached him a couple of years ago but thought he’d give the media a crack.

 

[DuckYeah]

Ducking love this appointment. The guy froffs footy and everything about it, he knows how to do it from the skinny end to be drafted, great footy brain and a ******* hard trainer. Salubrious Addition.

Obviously has an ability to communicate and get the best from his group. Messaging is important from leaders, more so coaching staff.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Had an awesome footy career already Barlow, all done the hard way too. Very interested to see where this leads our player development.

 

[Horizons_00]

Finally someone new and fresh for our development

As the great Yazz once sang, The only way is up baby!

 

[Ischenko]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Clarko factor will be huge for getting coaches. Players not yet. But we will get the cream of young and hungry and talented coaches. It’s happening.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

I am mates with Robbie Castello games record holder down there and a great North man and he said this could be the most important appointment we make all off season
Couldn't talk him up enough.

Nothing surer.

 

[Gorman2Geister]

Michael Barlow = the better than John Lamont

 

[DEVO]

What he achieved at Werribee was amazing, to get him to join our coaching line up is a great pick up.

 

[Ashley B]

Love it. We approached him a couple of years ago but thought he’d give the media a crack.

His only 35 surprised the Bombers didn’t draft him. But in all seriousness as Duckyeah said has done it the hard way . So hope our players take his lead and work hard to get the best out of themselves.

 

[Chadwiko]

I'm not certain but I think Barlow is my neighbour.

I'll be paying closer attention now!

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

We ****ed up deluxe back in 2009 when our affiliate club at the time, Werribee, begged us to draft him. Finally, we are righting that mistake.

 

[muttley45]

Love this appointment, i actually wanted us to grab him as a mature prospect in the 2009 rookie draft, better late than never i suppose
