Cheese......

[CureTheSane]

......has to be the stupidest name for a footballer ever.

What has to be done to stop people from using it?

[Matt79]

Think of another nick name.

[dendol]

His teammates named him, why would you want to change it?

[ugg]

Oh come on, its one of the few original nicknames in the team. Surely we don't want to lump him in with the obvious and call him Eddie or Barls?

[573v30]

If he was from WA, he'd be called Tony.

[Triple B]

Think of another nick name.

Guess we may have to wait until James Brayshaw interviews him :p

I don't think it should be up to me.
There are far better qualified people here to give players pet names.... :)

[CureTheSane]

because the players players picked a really gay name to call him and those who chose it should be excluded from the team for at least a week.

Could be confusing against the dogs. You may as well make it Bega.

[Thunder Shaker]

"Cheds"
"Frenchie" - as in cheese-eating surrender monkeys

When he is close to retirement, he can be "blue vein"

[Chookbilly]

Krafty

[Jewels]

Krafty

That gets my vote.

[Old Royboy]

Blame the Scotch College boys. "Barlow, a Scotch College boarder, picked up the cheese nickname at high school"

I hope all this publicity does not go to the kid's head.

This guy has fast become an automatic legend because - HE WEARS FLANNEL SHIRTS!!!!!!

[ItsAllGoodes]

Well seeing his current nickname is Cheese
And seeing he has been compared to Goodes

maybe it can be Gouda

[Bloody Hell]

Could be confusing against the dogs. You may as well make it Bega.

I know...Cheese!!!...oh, wait, :rolleyes:

[swans song]

Now he goes back to the 2's and practice some more to be like Adam Goodes

[ScottH]

Must have been good last week, coz he was abysmal last night.

[CureTheSane]

Thought he was OK last night given it was his second game against a team who dominated.

Didn't see his first game, and if I had I would have had a suggestion for a nickname for him.

B3

Thought it was Craig Bolton for the first few times I saw him.
Maybe I just haven't seen enough footy this year....

[goswannie14]

Must have been good last week, coz he was abysmal last night.My thoughts exactly

Maybe I just haven't seen enough footy this year....I thought the same a few times he came into shot and I thought it was B2. If he can be half as good as B2 I'd be happy.

He was that good the previous week. Poor bloke had an absolute shocker against the Pies but I guess these things happen.

To his credit though, he didn't try to hide. Many young fellows would find places to go where the ball wasn't after making their 4th or 5th blue in only their second game. But he kept trying to present in space and make something happen.

This is where we find something out about him - where things get hard, not when they seem as easy as they did against Brisbane. The natural reaction would be to send him back to the twos after Saturday but the holidays for Brennan, Buchanan, Hall and possibly O'Loughlin next week mean that he'll probably get another go. And I'll be very glad if he does get another chance straight away to see if he can find a middle ground.

[TheMase]

His first game on a familiar ground and home crowd.

[shaun..]

It's a tough gig playing your first two games interstate with two quality opponents at an important stage of the season, especially at a large stadium with tens of thousands of spectators (incl. ferals). I hope a more established surrounding will settle the nerves.

[tasswan]

to me it seemed to show how ordinary the canberra league is.

It wasnt so much his skills that were bad but the amount of time he thought he had to dispose of the ball.

We cant expect a new player to be a good player untill at least 20+ games and i think he could become a really good player.

I would be disapointed if he was dropped this week.

I think a good pre season would do him the world of good.

Remember back to how many games we gave LRT before he was anything but a liability. The same could be said for Hawthorns Franklin and Roughead.

The Swans really need to decide which players they want long term and play them for a longer period of time rather than the 1-2 weeks and then drop them back to the 2's.

[ugg]

9 kicks, 8 handballs, 6 marks (at least 1 contested), 9 tackles :eek:, 1 goal, a ridiculous amount of running.

Must be in with a good shout for a Rising Star nomination given its the last round. And a good chance to be dropped :rolleyes:

he had a better game this week but again appeared really slow out there. What do you think?

[ugg]

I didn't think he was particularly slow, but not as quick as he was made out to be by Andrew Ireland. He was perhaps a bit rash in playing on at times but he was also very good with his defensive work and did a few nice things when he had the ball.

[Nico]

You must be watching a different Ed Barlow than me.

[NMWBloods]

He looks slow in the same manner as DRJ used to - but he does cover the ground pretty quickly.

There was a discussion on it at the time he adopted it and that was my suggestion too!

Pretty sure he will still be eligible next season though??
He might give it a shake!

I do believe that is an oxymoron. Congrats NMW.

"I never knew that", you sound like the little kid off the TV ad where he thinks his dad played for the Collywobbles.

I'm not convinced that "Mark" is DrJ but do believe he has returned to the fold
