Michael Barlow is a respected figure at the SUNS despite only being in his first year at the club, and it is clear that that respect extends across the rest of the AFL community.
When news of the midfielder's fractured fibula came out players, coaches and fans from across the AFL took to social media to send their messages of support.
My thoughts are with a great human in @mjbarlow20 Has given @GoldCoastSUNS so much in such a short period. #Selfless #Respect #Brotherhood
