Prediction Michael Barlow

[marty36]

Is that for real? He's going to have an injury interrupted preseason? How bad? The hits just keep on coming!

I'm thinking having a plate removed from your shoulder will cause a few issues and having to go through extensive rehab might affect your preseason, but who knows if he was 18 he could recover quicker but when you get closer to 30 these injuries for some unknown reason take a lot longer to heal

You're sounding like a broken record, I'd have been better off to not bring that article up.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Then don't hahahaha

You seem to take pleasure wasting other posters time having to skim read through posts caused by your spam.

Posting every 2nd or so post on the same thread with the same repetitive crap is tiresome & frankly disrespectful of others who want to come on here to read quality not the same message we got the 1st time.

E.g. We know you don't want Barlow - end of story. So no need to tell us a thousand times!!

Why don't you give an opinion on his injury and the lack of pre season he will have . People are talking about crouches. Obviously being the Barlow thread and looking at a player of his age coming in with limited preparation due to a serious injury how it will affect his performance next year. I quoted what Barlow himself said about the injury that he would have the plate out in summer training and he needed extensive rehab.

Aren't you a ex mod , you do know there is an ignore button, don't you?

Most don't want to use the ignore button as often lose track of the conversation.

How about you only post if you have something new to add.

Quality posters are staying away from bigfooty because of spamming by the likes of yourself.

You actually detract from this board as a whole.

I think a lot of the rusted on Lyons detractors feel the same way as you. I think it's mis-directed though. Lyons was never really talked up much at all. What did happen was that he was constantly referenced because he wasn't getting a game despite excellent SANFL form while players were either playing injured or hopelessly out of form in the seniors. He would come in as sub and pick up 10 in a quarter which only fuelled the same questions. Which led to his detractors to manufacturing weaknesses like tank, too slow etc. Most of his 'fans' at the end of 2015 would readily admit that their greatest annoyance is that they still didn't know if he was an AFL quality player.

I dont necessarily disagree with any of that. Only to say that some of the support for Lyons has been almost cult like. The minute you didn't join in on the adulation you became a detractor.

I cant actually remember a bloke polarising supporters quite so much, maybe Luke Jericho ?

Most of the discussion on Lyons was centred around selection threads. Those that continued to not understand why he again made way after performing well as a sub and those supporting the selectors and the Wrights of this world. It would seem like a cult because it was a genuine topic of discussion nearly every week. It turned out he could run out a game and contribute quite well. But the rusted on detractors have not given up.

It'd be like trying to reason with my 2 year old.

Firstly, there isn't that much of a difference between the recovery times between an 18 year old and a 28 year old to even be worth discussing, let alone be suggesting that it takes a lot longer to recover.

What he is getting done is having the plate removed, which is a good thing. Having the plate in there, helps the bone mend but it restricts full movement of the area, which is why they like to take the plate out...well that and then the surgeon gets to charge twice, once to put it in, once to take it out...a nice gig if you can get it.

Rehab is most likely all about getting the muscles around that area to get full flexibility again, they have worked on a modified area due to the plate, they haven't stretched as much. So whilst he is doing his rehab, he'll miss out on tackling drills and probably get out of donning the mat for guys to practice their speckys on ( though if he wants to really try out his shoulder, he should just harden up and let them take speckys on him without the mat). Outside of that he should be able to participate in most of the pre season, just on a modified program.

I understand your issues with us getting him, three years seems a bit of a long contract but as far as the plate being removed, it should be a non issue in regards to him being right for the season

Marty is one of the big reasons I want Doedee to succeed, Burton to fail, J Scharenberg to fail and Barlow to succeed wherever he goes

Just talking from experience when I played at 18 I could actually play two games on the weekend, at 30 I could barely get put of bed on the Sunday and injuries took so much longer to recover from probably why we see so many players retire around that age. But no I don't suppose age matters if you think that!

What's the point when nothing is really clear as to how long he'll miss with those operations or where he's really at right now.

Regardless, you've spent the past 3+ pages jumping up and down saying the same thing about his recovery, we get it. If he comes, struggles and it's blamed on his lack of a pre season, feel free to bump the crap out of your posts but nothing is gained by saying the same repetitive thing over and over again.

Having a plate remove is not that big of an issue if the injury has healed which generally happens if the plate removed.
Being a shoulder injury with the plate in he can do all the Endurance and skill training that happens pre christmas, Just restricted on the limited full contact training that happens pre Christmas.
If the plate removed early summer, could be late Nov or Dec. Then he starts a slow build up to add strength to the shoulder, before Xmas and over the break, He should if the plate is removed before Xmas be in full contact sometime in January, while not missing out on the endurance and skill training.

History highlights the players that struggle thru the year thru broken pre-season are the ones with lower body injury that effect the endurance training.
The Crows medical department would be all over the surgeons reports,

I suppose you can get in the bike with your shoulder it's hard to run with a bad shoulder it tends to ache from the jolting. He did say he would need extensive rehab so you would think would take 4 to 6 weeks of light weights to build the strength back into it.

I'm sure wherever he ends up we will know when he can join full training as it will be reported on.

If you don't feel an interrupted pre season is an issue then all will be good!

 

[Big Gazoongas]

He want cost us anything in trading for a reason, freo didn't see him capable if being on their list so they delisted him, however if he requests a three year contract with reasonable coin then it will cost us maybe in the future on other players

But I have just read how posters were talking about crouch and his interrupted pre season which affected his season. Barlow at 29 next year is having a plate out of his shoulder during pre season and will need to go through extensive rehab. Wow it makes crouches pre season look like a dream. How do you think this injury and lack of pre season will affect his season? After all crouches all most destroyed his year.

Betts didn't cost us anything either, so under your criteria he must be garbage.

There have been posters explain to you why Freo don't see him as a priority, but in true marty fashion you have your head firmly buried in the sand.

Why you post waffle when responding to posts rather than explaining your stance is truly a gift.

You're a hypocrite of the highest order dude.

Betts wasn't a delisted free agent, that's a odd comparison

a) you have no idea whether posters are staying away

b) There's a lot worse crap being posted that is more likely to stop quality posters visiting the site

c) Marty is correct, use the ignore button .......it's actually there for a purpose, and that includes following a certain discussion by posters

d) Marty may be excessive from time to time ......but he's hardly posting rubbish .....and it's frankly not up to you to make any judgement Kane
