Just listening to the Freo game. Barlow has done his knee.

Poor bugger and poor supercoach team. Hopefully it ends up being OK.

They are now saying broken leg. Sad to see!

He hasn't done his knee, I don't think anyway. Though there's a good chance he's injured much of his leg.

Pretty sure it's broken, absolutely horrific to watch.

Poor kid, I wish him a speedy recovery.

No he broke his leg in a terrible collision with a team mate! He tried too stand up and the bottom of his leg gave way very sickening just watched it live

Ya beat me to it!

Word of warning, it was Nathan Brown-esque, but didnt stay out of place..

THEN he tried to stand up on it - and it went sideways again!! That was ugly - but it was like he was in no pain what-so-ever!!

Interesting highlight if you have the stomach for it..

EDIT: yeah, forget supercoach until the finals at least, it was pretty bad..

although it looked a clean break. (just below the kneecap)

I absolutely hate seeing this stuff happening to any afl player. This will hurt a career (hoping it doesnt) that was looking quite promising. Just like Nathan Brown when he broke his leg under Wheelan (i think), just not the same after recovery.

I hope he make a quick and proper recovery.

You gotta feel sorry for Barlow. He made the greatest of transitions into the AFL, Freo surprising everyone and continuing their fantastic run (who'd have thought at the start of the year). He was in Brownlow medal form too, seeing there only seems to be Sandilands who would take votes off him for their games.

Outside of MFC players, this one hurt more than any I've seen. The sound at the ground was incredible. They couldn't have been more up and about the supporters, then there was this huge moan when he tried to put weight on it. Then the rest of the game was just a murmurs in comparison to the 3rd quarter.

Jeez footy's a cruel game.

Horrific, and very unlucky.

You hate to see this as a football fan, regardless of who you follow.

I hope Barlow can heal and regain some of this years sterling form for the dockers next season.

From fairy tale to season over in an instant. I know he's not the first player to get a bad injury, but this one would hurt more than most emotionally. Can't help but feel for the bloke.

A really good bloke too. Spoke to him a couple of times when he was playing in the VFL.

I cant imagine how Palmer would be feeling. A complete lack of talk and awareness from him in that situation. Damn unlucky for Michael.

I'd like to send my best wishes to Michael Barlow & his loved ones after this horror accident.

I wish him well & a full recovery having had a similar break from a motorcycle accident years back.

Know what you mean, when you cleanly break a bone, it's pretty nasty...takes a while to heal too

One of the few times I've actually cared about a player from another team being injured (Tom Longeran and his kidney was another one).

Michael Voss broke his leg early on in his career and we all know how his career ended up so hopefully Barlow comes out of this OK.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
