Bit of a write up on Barlow, should please a few people....

Michael Barlow might be 21 years old, but many see him as the “hottest property in the VFL”. He has spent 2009 playing in the VFL for Werribee and after a stellar season was rewarded with the Fothergill-Round Medal for the best young talent in the competition. He also took home the Werribee Tigers Best and Fairest, and was selected in the 2009 VFL Team of the Year. On top of all that he almost took home the JJ Liston Trophy (VFL Best and Fairest) but fell agonizingly short to be the runner-up.

Michael Barlow is a ball winner with plenty of pace, but also has the ability to go forward thanks to his height (189cm) for a few goals or even in defence to try and shut a player down.

Barlow played 17 games for the seniors in 2009, and on 14 occasions was in their best players highlighting why he was the Best and Fairest for Werribee. He has the ability to average 30 disposals a game, and has also kicked bags of goals, in particular, 4 against the Bendigo Bombers in round 20. He excelled at the Victorian screenings with a 20 meter sprint time of 2.89 seconds and a beep test result of 14.12.

Very happy with our 3 new players . welcome McPhee, barlow and Silvagni. They will have an impact at the club abd provide us with extra depth if needed.

Well done Freo, strong picks. Solid inclusions to the list. Is Ruffles on the Long Term Injury List? it will be interesting to see who we elevate from this very solid Rookie List.

WC picked Ashton Hams and JON

 

[Purple_Voice]

Panos picked up by the doggies at #48

 

[Lach72]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[shiny_on_top]

JON picked up by WC.

 

[Lach72]

[PintofPale]

why didn't we pick up this guy?

I think Freo have done well....both mature age players who are ready to play if required rather than exposing immature, under-developed kids. Additionally both address areas of deficiency, namely, KPD and big bodied midfielder.

The icing on the cake is WCE selecting JON and Hams!!!!!

 

[Lach72]

Ashton can play...just a short arse

 

[Lach72]

What I wouldn't have given for Spud to be off our list and Hutchings/Donaldson on it
