i can't understand why this guy hates the dees so badly

every time he writes or talks about melb it is in the harshest tones and full of ridicule

from his views regarding the tyson/salem/kelly trade right up to his latest crap about the viney bump it seems like he jumps at any chance to sink in the boot

anyone able to shed any light on where the hate started?

    Rolly,

    He's a journalist or in other words a "merchant of chaos". Ignore him he's a [censored]

    hes a a Kangaroos supporter

    he knows the kangas will be first in line to be merged or sent interstate

    he no doubt thinks the MFC should and will kick us at any opportunity

    he is also an absolute pleb

    so is robbo, so is whately, so are the many many journo's who can belt the dees when we deserve it but are also able to pay credit where its due.

    it just baffles the mind, specifically on the viney bump, that he can take the stand he has when even people like kev bartlett and the out going chief are questioning the verdict

    The only antidote to this virulent pest is winning. There will no doubt be a surge of his crap whilst we continue to improve then he will have to shut up when the time comes he has to eat his own excrement.

    Think there is some truth in this.

    Also think he's the worst type of supporter in the media. Happy to jump on the Roos bandwagon when it's filling up preseason but doesn't stick by them at all during the season and calls it being impartial

    I'm with you Rolly, just don't let him get to you. He's nothing

    Sounds plausible, but are there any examples where the Kangaroos have been in the spotlight and he has stayed silent or argued against the club or one of it's players?

    I would love to see pj threaten him with defimation charges

    He is KING of wanksville.

    Dunstall was the only one who attempted to dissect Barrett's argument.

    Is there a more... annoying [censored] to listen to with his... mid-sentence, reflective pauses and know-it-all... tone? I put it to you... guys... that this beady-eyed acne scarred [censored] ... is the most annoying... [censored] on tv/radio.

    ......thanks...... guys.

    Barrett works for the AFL.

    He's going to trot out the company line - which in the Viney case is utter codswallop

    I agree

    Exactly.

    It's not anti-MFC, it's pro-AFL.

    ill watch the Footy Show for the first time in years tomorrow night

    Sam Newman is gonna be angry, and that maggot Barrett will be sitting right next to him

  • Quote

    I'm pretty sure Barrett agree's with Lyon on access all areas that it should have been thrown out..

    he is a two faced slug.

    Damien Barrett:

    "Yeah, well..." - every time he's proven wrong.

    Get stuck in Sammy.

    Barrett would have been the first piece of [censored] to get stuck in if Viney had jumped out of the way.

    I don't know why we waste our breath on this guy. He is not only biased, he is also extremely thick. I think we should all just ignore him. Eventually Lyon will sack him....

  • Quote

    Some people listen to journos who have never played football, so Barrett has a job.

    Personally, I don't listen to anyone who hasn't actually played the game - but that is just me, different strokes, different folks.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
