Delisted. Somebody is going to get a quality player for zilch.
Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to why Freo have delisted him? Contract breakdown and/or doesn't fit within Freo's rebuild strategy or?

Trying to inject youth into our midfield.

Would take at the Cats for sure, but probably a better fit at the Hawks.
He is only an inside mid, and we have better and or younger players who play that role.
He is slow and has average skills.
Id love him at the Hawks but I can't see him fittng in purely because we just offloaded two club champions to bring our younger players through.
Would be a bit rich to turf a 30yo Lewis and bring in a 28yo Barlow irrespective of his talents.
I think JOR, Woodward, Langford etc all need exposure to see whether they have what it takes going forwards.

We have Fyfe, Mundy, Neale, Bennell, B Hill and S Hill all in front of Barlow in the midfielder. Having Barlow as the 7th midfielder would rob games of our emerging midfield. Plus, we will be running more players through the midfield such as Walters.
Plus, the game has increased in pace and Barlow isn't the quickest player. His spread in slow and his clearance are not clean enough.
Also, we have the oldest list and we need to get younger, and Barlow will be turning 29 in December.

True but I still would have kept him over a bum like Suban and day.
The thing is that Suban is contracted and Barlow wasn't. Suban will be out the door next year, as well as Ibbotson and few others.
The clean out is not fully done yet.
Seriously Gold Coast have to pick him up, especially with all the kids they are bringing in this draft.
Adding Hanley, Lyons and Barlow strengthens the midfield and protects the younger bodies.

As mentioned above Gold Coast seems most obvious fit. Hawthorn, Adelaide, Geelong all contenders who could do a lot worse then give him a gig on the cheap.
This is just ****ed. I've always thought he would be worth more to us than any other club and now we've let him go for nothing.
Gold Coast should pick him up, but you would have thought they would have given us a throw away pick given they have a gazillion. Maybe Mick doesn't want to go?
Only explanation that makes sense is that there's someone out there who has assured him that he'll be picked up as DFA for a bit longer than we would have given him.

Would take and think he'd be a good fit, but would he play on the minimum? Can't see us offering more than that seeing as we cleared two club legends for cap space. I think Gold Coast would offer him a decent pay packet as well.
Has flaws, but is far too good not to be playing AFL next year.
I'd have taken him at the Eagles if we hadn't brought in Sam Mitchell (Sam Mitchell!).
His card was marked pretty early on this season with Freo, clearly ready to move forward without him and only got some games later on before his injury due to other injuries in the squad - that said, he is a quality player (and person from all reports), so I would expect another team to have a dip - GC, Richmond and Carlton could do worse than add him to their midfields for the experience and big body. Adelaide and Hawthorn at the other end of the scale.
Will be playing decent footy somewhere in the league next year I think.

Problem is we have to delist contracted players
