Barlow just copped a broken leg similar to Gooses

Post: # 951981Post backit »

Barlow just had Palmer crash into his leg similar to Gooses, looked bloody nasty. Hope it does not impact on his footy in the future as he has been a good news story in the AFL this year.

Oh that really sucks. I haven't felt this bad about an opposition player's injury since Browny in 2005.

Get well soon Barlow.

That's bloody awful news. Such a damn good player too. Hope he has a swift recovery.

And so unnecessary.

Not blaming Palmer, he just went for the ball like a good player should, but as a supporter it breaks your heart when you are ten goals up and one of your stars injures themselves badly in the final couple of minutes.

Reminded me of us in 2004/05 watching Freo players go down today.

As we said Roo could have done his injury this round, not 3 months ago, meaning a tilt at the flag without Roo.

Now we are 10-3 with Roo about to come back. Maybe out luck has changed.


Lance or James??

Can't believe he tried to stand up after. Must have been in shock because that must've been painful.

There seemed to be a lot of Freo players colliding with each other in that game. Can't question their courage I guess but it must suck when your own teammates are doing the damage.

Terrible for him. He is a great kid and let's hope its not both the fibula and tibia bones that are broken, like Goose did. Poor Goose shattered both of the bones.

Shame for the kid...finally cracked into the big time after being knocked back a few times....becomes an instant star,then this happens. The ups and downs of footy!

That will hurt Freo a lot. They'll struggle to stay in the 4 now

Very sad to hear this. He would have been on a modest salary this year too.

Was leading ABC Player of the Year too.

Bugger.

But flip side - he could have been ours - was training with us at one point wasn't he ?

His contract was redone after a few games this season and they signed him up for a couple of years. Some thought he signed too early and could have got a higher price if he waited a bit longer. At least now he has the security of a contract while he tries to recover.

Poor guy. Having watched Goose and Browny going through it, you wouldn't wish it on anyone. He can only hope its a fairly clean break like Voss and that he is able to come back. Such a shame.

Remember Jason Blake almost killing himself running back with the flight in a 100+ point win vs West Coast a few years back...in the last minute of the game or so...After just coming back from having his spine rearranged by Stafford...

Some blokes will just go.

A dreadful shame for the young bloke. He was playing some terrific footy. I hope he recovers well, and soon.

Fremantle disappointed with Barlow speculation

"FREMANTLE football manager Chris Bond says the club is disappointed by speculation that Michael Barlow will not play until 2012, with the first-year star receiving positive news on his prospects for next season.

"News Ltd ran a story on Monday suggesting Barlow, who broke his left leg in a sickening collision with teammate Rhys Palmer on Saturday, could miss all of next season and was no certainty to return to football at all."


Typical lazy journalism from the Herald Sun hacks, never let the truth or facts get in the way in the way of a bit of sentastional journalism.

Poor guy, sounds like it was horrific, Really hate to see this sort of thing happen.
Wish him all the best for his recovery.

I remember how pointless Goose's injury was as well. Down by 6 goals with a minute left...

All the best to the kid, no one deserves that, least of all Barlow who's done so much to break into the AFL, and go on with it! Hopefully see him back at some stage next year.
