FREMANTLE football manager Chris Bond has poured cold water on rumours Michael Barlow will not play until 2012, after he suffered a serious broken leg against Port Adelaide on Saturday.
As reported on the AFL website, Bond said the initial diagnosis was positive.
While it is conceded Barlow will miss a substantial amount of football, it was feared he be sidelined for two years.
“There’s been certainly speculation in regards to when he’ll come back and from the club’s point of view that’s a bit disappointing,†Bond said on afl.com.au.
“We’ve had people comment from the eastern states on when they think he’ll be back and won’t be back and what sort of frame it will be in.
“I’m not too sure if any have written him off, but from our point of view the feedback we’re giving Michael is the feedback our medical people have given him and that’s quite positive at this stage.
“We’re really optimistic from the medical feedback that he’ll be back playing good football for us next year.â€
