2007 Scorecard - #21 Leo Barry

[Zlatorog]

6.5/10 for me.

On a good day his disposal is still very good, although he had his share of problems with the new rules.

[AnnieH]

Before he got injured he was playing very well. Halfway through the season Roos described him as being in career best form.

The injury came at a bad time for the team because it robbed the defence of stability towards the pointy end of the season. And clearly he struggled a bit after his longish layoff.

For scoring 3 goals for the season he has to get an extra point or two - so 7 from me.

But like others I would love him to get the chance to play out his career on some more manageable opponents and give us the chance to enjoy the last of the baulks and weaves.

I'm getting pretty sick of saying SPOT ON Lizzy!!

Although that baulking and weaving leaves me a bit nervous sometimes.

They should make B2 FB and put Leaping Leo out on the flank. He can be a pretty dangerous mark when he has a bit of a run in to get the ball.

(I watched the last seconds of the 05 granny on my nephews PSP the other day [and what a nifty little gadget that is]. He ran in from the boundary to get that mark.)

7/10

[Plugger46]

5/10. He has been played out of position for a number of seasons now, which is starting to take its toll. Probably got 2-3 years left in him if they get him away from FB.

[Bear]

Had a reasonable year by his standards... but obviously impacted by injury in the end. has had to "play out of position" for years now, so nothing new there.

7/10.

6/10

5/10

[Lucky Knickers]

7/10
Enjoyed his goals (almost as much as he did).

[Chow-Chicker]

6/10. Solid contributor. Does make some blunders though.

[Justice]

6/10

Five week injury lay off from round 17 really put a downer on a pretty good year up to that time.

IMO he should not play full-back next year (Bolton C. to step up again). As said by other would benefit form being released to the BF and allowed to play on similar sized players and allowed to run.

He did have a number of brain explosions where he seemed to regularly run into dead ends, or was forced on to his right foot and didn't look likely to break the defensive line. Also continues to give away to many free kick for unnessary scragging or arm chopping.

Having said all this he still adds plenty of value to overall team balance.

Cheers

Justice

Was doing alright until he twanged his hammie and they brought him back on into the forward line. Probably the worst coaching move of the season. 6/10.

Leo needs LRT back for him to get off those bigger strong forwards.
He has played above his weight for the last 3 or 4 years and done a great job, though now has been found out a little.
Needs to be released to a HBF or loose man in defence and use his baulks and run again. He was going OK till he got injured.
