List Mgmt. Michael Barlow - Let's Get Him

[tunksy]

I think he has done a fantastic job having the career he had. But, he will be cut at years end from a team that will finish bottom 3. I think there is better value out there than him.

Hoghly doubt he will be cut!

Is he though? We werent far off top 4 last year.. he will improve the list.

And if he pushes someone like lambert into a depth role its a win imo. (Good win for vfl team too). The youngs mids are getting games in macca ellis and menadue already too so i dont see that argument that hes taking games from youth.

I doubt he will be leaving though.

Fine. Lambert then is depth. But what about all these guys as Mopsy correctly imo will also need upgrading.

wrong side of 29

How is 28 the wrong side of 29? Are you saying he's too young?

I disagree. He's still got a few years left in him played in the right position. He's not a half forward. He's a big Anthony Miles.

We are trying to emulate the great Norf side

They simply get delisted traded etc. Some could be handy depth some are useless. Every clubs has some. We still have too many imo. Barlow makes that one less player so id say its a positive step even if its only for 3 years. In 3 years time a lot of those players will be replaced anyway.

I dont think our list is overly poor i think its more to do with game style and lack of forward potency that holds us back. But thats a whole other discussion.

Does that mean Flea is making a comeback?

Maybe after a couple of years on the rookie list

Cool. Let's just put a line through everyone over the age of 24 then?
Honestly we all go on and on about lacking big bodied inside grunt. Barlow is that, and despite his flaws he would still push someone out of the team which means he would improve us.
Wouldn't he?

I was taking the pee about 28 being the wrong side of 29 and Norf recruiters agreeing with you

As to whether we should get him I guess it all depends on whether or not we are having a bad year due to injuries and we can get back to being a team pushing for top 4 or whether we are a bottom 6 team. He would help the former but probably hinder us if we are the latter.

 

[Grockadoc]

No. We already complain too much about having one paced midfielders with inconsistent footskills. Adding Barlow rectifies none of our midfield problems and will only delay the development of Menadue, Drummond, Corey Ellis or even a player like a Powell-Pepper, Brodie etc. in the draft.

I know you were joking. Just quoted you because you were the last post of that little discussion.
I agree. And I think injuries have played a big part in the shitty season we've endured so far so I lean towards the former.

I want him now that I know captain blood 17 hates him..

It's a sign!

 

[tropicaltiger]

Played well against a team that only runs one way.
I'm still a 100% no on him.
Happy for others to disagree though.

agreed, would have been a good coup tho, if we snared him last year on a 2 year deal instead of moore and townaa in hindsight.

A large plate of dicks would be better than townna in hindsight
