    He played for the Bulldogs affiliate Williamstown in the 2011 VFL Grand Final. One of his teammates that day was Brett Goodes. That Grand Final was won by Port Melbourne.

      He's certainly on the rise......also appears on The Project on Ten as well now. A serious talent.

      Total professional! Respect.

        It looks like Jude Bolton is on the next episode of You Can't Ask That; in which, ex-footballers have to answer curly questions sent in by the public. On the promo, Jude is paired with Ian Roberts.

          Ed "Cheese" Barlow was interviewed on SEN late this afternoon. He is a Physchologist now. Smart guy with a good sense of humour, came across well on radio. I remembered thinking we'd unearthed a future star after his first few games which were impressive, but ended up only playing 25 games. I'd forgotten he finished playing 1 season with the Dogs (explains his friendship with Bob Murphy which was apparent). If I remember correctly, his "Cheese" nick name came about being from Bega territory?
          The next Adam Goodes, as reported at the time.

              At Sydney Writers Festival gala event last night 2 of 12 great speakers were Michael O’Loughlin and Adam Goodes. Adams’s call for action was passionate and Maj’s was funny and moving. Great representatives. Adam is now sporting a small ponytail, I can report.

                I used to teach Ed in Bega as we lived there for six years. He was a character! My recollections: he was a big personality, loved cracking up his peers and had a balanced sense of humility too (as he was a gun athlete). I think he was a Bombers' fan back then.

                He changed schools for Yr 11 and 12 (I think to Vic) in order to go to a "footy school" to progress his footy and get onto the recruiting radar. I caught up with him again when he was first taken by the Swans as he came back to his family home for a bit. After the Dogs he was playing up in the NT, wasn't he? I lost contact with Ed over the years so it's good to hear he's now a psychologist.

                    Probably was given a scholarship for his sporting prowess. Public schools cherry pick kids to enhance their chances of winning APS titles despite having nothing to do with their junior development.

                      Shane Mumford has played 3 games for GWS, which they won. All their losses occurred in his absence.
                      It's ridiculous that any team should be so utterly dependent on a 34 year old.
                      PS
                      Some on here may as if there is no life without our 34 year old, thank goodness the results prove otherwise.

                          That is a good watch. I was surprised to learn that ROK laid 15 tackles in 2012 GF.

                            Jones out for most of the year now, and Hanners out for who knows how long. Top trading by Swans.

                              Zac's career at Swans was often interrupted by injury. Same at Saints. Now looking chronic unfortunately. Liked him as a player although he could cough it up a bit.
