Perfect player to play straight away and come in and do a job. Love it.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Hope I eat crow.

I'm all for drafting youngish mature age types but do wonder if he was really the best of those types available

Hope he gives it everything.

DOM BARRY

180cm / 76kg

Clubs: Glenelg

Positions: Wing, Outside Midfield

Comparison: Brad Hill

Stats:

Dom played every match for Glenelg in the SANFL and impressed with his consistency all year. He averaged 20 disposals, 4 marks and 4 inside 50s a game, whilst also kicking 16 goals in his 18 games. His consistency was a highlight, dropping below 15 disposals only once during the year.

Gamestyle:

Dom is a fast outside runner with explosive pace and good hurt factor. He loves to receive the ball outside of the contest before taking off, taking multiple bounces and delivering the ball down field. He has improved his fitness base and is capable of running all day. He loves to take the game on, has good evasiveness and kicks goals. His left foot kick can be damaging, but he does need to hit the target on the lead a bit more. After a few games with Melbourne earlier this decade, Dom knows what it will take to play AFL again.

Draft Range: 50 – Rookie

Dom has done as much as he can to put his name back into AFL contention. Super consistent year, very damaging, has been one of the stars in the SANFL this year. A team looking for outside speed and ball carrying ability will look towards Dom. He will start to come into thoughts from the 3rd round.

I like his highlights, seems to have speed. Good on him for getting another go. Hopefully he makes the most of his second opportunity

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Addressed the need for outside pace in this draft it's pleasing, he doesn't need to be a star just play his role if called upon.. nicer leg than Impey

 

[snozulu]

Handy backup who will pressure the other outside players for a spot in the seniors.

I ******* love our indigenous team and program. We can net guys like Dom, Motlop, Garner and have Thomas in the rookie draft help guide them into the right direction. Impey was a loose unit off the field and he didn't have any real mentors aside from Trengove. Dom is a good bloke aswell shown by the reason he came back to SA. SUper pumped for him hope he gets gamesin 2018; Didn't expect us to use 5 picks but happy we did

Is this the fella that kicked a bag against us in Rd 1 this year at the bay?

I posted a few days ago that I expected us to draft Barry. Smart pick; he'll have immediate impact and has plenty of upside. And if it doesn't work out we'll know sooner rather than later.

Dom is Good

Hails from the same Junior Club as Tom Logan, left Alice as a young fella to study in Victoria on a Tennis Scholarship. Drafted to Melbourne and broke through for a few games, signed another contract extending his time there, but after a trip back home to Alice realised he missed a fair bit of his cultural upbringing. Took some time away from the game, held a job here and was a Great Role Model for the young Indigenous lads in the Area. Decided to give serious Footy another crack and played the year out at Glenelg.

It will be a book worth reading, I hope there are a few chapters to play out at Port Adelaide, The Second Chance, The Premiership Years and The Fulcrum.

 

[jdeezy]

ya joking can't believe he didn't go higher

 

[PatientMental]

We hope so too Dom, welcome to the family.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I was impressed with him in Rd 1 v the Maggies under lights at the Bay in late April. He had exceptional speed and unlike Jasper who was planned to be set upon by 3 players we just didn't target to stop him and couldn't stop his blistering runs up the wings.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Just read he has been living with Jake Neade this year. They went to school together.
