I remember that season so vividly. Every time Barba touched the ball it felt like he was gonna do something amazing. Literally every time he returned a kick he would break at least 2-3 tackles. Also i think Josg Reynolds was massively underrated for the dogs, imo he was the heart of the team.

bulldogs had a crazy team that year, big ball playing forwards frank pritchard and big sam kasiano up front, along with ennis, eastwood, tollman & graham, the mid season signings of sam perrett & krisnan inu along with barba at the back all gelled together for some entertaining! footy cant forget the pest reynolds, i legit cannot remember the other halfs name that year..
