Michael Barlow

[james brayshaw]

returns to the freo side today for the first time since breaking his leg last year. Really hope he plays well, one of the best footy stories ever imo

 

[Big Fozza]

i'm really hoping he tears it up

 

[silverscope]

I really hope he gets through injury free. Don't care if he has 5 or 35 touches.

Also a nice little article in the HUN

There's no doubt in my mind that I could get back playing at that level," Barlow said.

"That injury that I went through, it's something that I'll never see again, hopefully.

"If you go out with the mindset that it's going to happen (again), or worrying where your leg's going to land ... you're really behind the the eight-ball from the start and you're not going to give yourself the best chance."

Good luck to him, he was killing it before his injury last year. The AFL could always use these good luck stories.

 

[Catlad]

best of luck to him

 

[Sylvia Saint]

5 bucks says he kills it today.

Good luck to the guy. I'm not one to be too kind towards opposition players during games, but I might have to give him a quiet clap when he returns to the field today.

 

[Stuck21]

Do people think he will be the sub? Good luck Michael Barlow. Hope you kill it like last year.

 

[93567]

Nah, it's already been stated that he won't be sub, thank goodness. Off to the game now -- can't wait to see him running around!

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Best of luck Michael

 

[free at last]

[Alexwce]

One of the few Dockers I like, GL to him

 

[RooMatera]

one of those people you can't dislike

 

[Aish]

Fabulous that he's back and hope he can return to last year's wonderful form (be great if it took him a week to run himself into it for us Dees fans! But I think he's that good he won't need it). Really happy for him. Seems a top bloke.

 

[Righteo]

Really nervous for him today. People shouldn't be expecting too much from him, 20 or so touches would be a win IMO. I reckon we'll get done though.

 

[SM]

Never really seen him play, except maybe in a game against the Swans last year. It was the same when Scully came back, first time I'd seen him play.

Ah well, the price you pay for living overseas for a year.

Really keen to see him running around because he certainly rewarded my DT last year.

 

[SSSSSS]

Go Barlow Go!

 

[flylikeaneagle]

dont like Barlow, would rather not see him play

 

[DrummoSolo]

13 touches to half time, equal highest for Freo. Is solidly accumulating without having a particularly large impact, but still a good result for now I reckon.

He could have had a couple of goals if he'd kicked straight. Doing great for the first game.

 

[james brayshaw]

Took a while to get the tempo of the game but still managed 13 possesions for the half

 

[electricfeel]

Has 4 behinds but showing some good signs! Glad to have him back.

 

[DrummoSolo]

That as well, got excited when his first kick looked the goods, but wasn't to be.

Nonetheless, we basically agree - having a pretty decent run at it for his first one back!

 

[vWestCoast]

On about 20 possessions and missed a lot of shots, amazing story, already has the most possesions inside freos 50, have to wonder what the other guys are doing

Bugger all

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Comes back from a broken leg and is close to BOG for Freo.

Normally you would say, wow awesome result but geeeeeee not sure if it is in this case for Freo.

Good to see him playing well though.
