Who would have thought Ed would get picked up, let alone get a game for another AFL team. And ahead of Vesz. Good luck to him.

 

[SM]

Remember going into 09 I think it was with MOD and Barlow as the two Ressies I'd get behind and try and support getting into the Seniors, that didn't work out too well..

Agreed though, massive Barlow-grade soft spot for him.

 

[mark121]

Good luck Barlow i hope you have a big game this weekend and are able to find a permanent spot on your new teams list, i know you have the talent.

 

[BIGBEZ]

Tomorrow night, it seems.

We elevated two rookies, Ed being one.

hes got heaps of talent no doubt, some call him soft but I think its more that he's just lost, watch how 'lost' he looks.

 

[.Shotties.]

Barlow's never been soft. When his only option was to hit a pack he'd go. If he has more than one choice he thinks too much.

 

[bedford]

The shorter version of Barlow in Ryan Brabazon is playing at the moment for Claremont V Northern Bullants in the Foxtel Cup. Both are downhill skiers

 

[grimlock]

Brabazon BOG for WA against Qld. Thornton also played

Just read that injuries have cut short Scott Stevens' career. Turned out to be a very handy player at both ends of the ground for the Crows.

 

[bedford]

And played some good games for Port

 

[Dangas]

All the best to Scotty Stevens

ED

22 disposals 9 marks 3 tackles 2 goals.

ED

was good today but i only saw one attempted tackle on him... and he turned it over when it was laid, but he found a lot of space and won a lot of the ball... and worse for us, used it very well.

 

[Swanee]

Yep, that's right.

No player in VFL/AFL history has ever kicked 100 goals at 3 different clubs.

Big Bad Bustling is on the verge of doing just this.

92 goals at the Western Bulldogs to go with nearly 150 at St Kilda and 400+ at Sydney means Barry is on the verge of creating history.

Can he do it this week versus Melbourne? Or will he do it on coming weeks? What is the danger Barry might hang the boots up due to injury when the Bulldogs are officially out of finals contention?

Actually, that could happen this very week, so he better hurry up and kick some goals!

Looking at the fixture - perhaps Sydney in Round 18 (at the SCG) would be a good game to designate as his last.

Just read this on the Western Bulldogs board. Not sure if it's accurate, if it is can we transfer the same thread to our board? Because it deserves a shared Western Bulldogs/Sydney Swans thread if that is at all possible.

I would love it if the Swans game was his last. I am sure, and I would hope that he would get a rousing reception at the SCG if that is where he plays his last game.

Yeah I haven't seen him play live for the Dogs - similar to not having seen Jolly at the Pies or Bradshaw with us - so I'd love to get the opportunity to do so and farewell him.

I told you all we'd regret letting him go.

He'll captain the dogs to a premiership.

Improved but he;'s played the Crows and thew dogs

i was at the Dogs/Crows game and after half time he was allowed to play outside/loose no pressure. He didn't seem to have much harassment in the GC game.

Good for him for having found the nous to get space, but the test will come when a coach decides to ensure he is made accountable. If he puts his hand up than I will I trumpet his cause.

I hope you are not going to buy a Crows or Footscray membership Cas

I was a guest of work, the boss has a client from overseas who wanted to go to football. The boss wanted someone to explain the game... he's no clue the Rugby Union Shore Grammar toffy...

so it was the medallion club Bedford... milked it at no cost.... the partners parents were somewhere in the ground (Dogs people but ... meh ).

 

[bedford]

The medallion club, great veiw of the game, but overpiced and the attendants are they over the top. In fact the whole stadium is over the top with security.
How did you explain the lack of a crowd.

 

[Dangas]

Didn't Micky look fit running around in the All Stars guernsey tonight for the EJ Whitten Legends game at Etihad, silky skills great to watch,

Fit enough to play in the forward pocket for this Current Swans team.....

A former player of sorts, the latest Rising Star nominee Luke Breust

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl...atest-nomination/story-e6frf3e3-1226088669524

Breust revealed he had been keen on joining the Swans after playing alongside the likes of Heath Grundy, Nick Smith, Craig Bird and Lewis Roberts-Thomson during his time as a reserves top-up player. But at the 2009 rookie draft Sydney went in a different direction and the three players who were selected ahead of him are now no longer at the Swans.

"Sydney had three priority picks of NSW players so I was hopeful of getting a spot there but it didn't work out. But then to train at Hawthorn and get rookie-listed here I was pretty happy," he said.

Not sure who the 3 NSW picks they were talking about as according to Wikipedia we passed on those picks

Yep, that was a disgrace, cost cutting in the football department meant that we didnt take any NSW rookies that year even though Breust and Kade Klemke were highly rated.

Klemke was All Australian, drafted by Essendon and now delisted so I guess we didn't miss much there but Breust has been highly rated by the Hawks since day 1.

Can't believe we took Taylor Gilchrist ahead of him
