Barrett praises Melbourne and Roos

Featured Replies

prepare to fall off your chair.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-05-20/the-roos-question

Melbourne has been transformed since he took over. Roos has returned hope to the lives of supporters, replacing despair.

The recruits - Dom Tyson, Bernie Vince, Daniel Cross - are starring, not just on the field, but equally importantly for this club full of impressionable youngsters who have had confidence drained in recent years, off it.

Jack Viney would probably perform under anyone, but you feel he's going even harder because it's Roos who is coaching him. Jack Watts is showing signs of a breakthrough.

Cam Pedersen has been given responsibility, and has flourished. Jeremy Howe has added scope to his game. James Frawley has now got what he always wanted - a reason to stay.

The future, so bleak as recently as September last year, is now something to behold
 

now I feel sick

 

Hell has frozen over and pigs are flying.

This is the sort of [censored] I don't want to read yet (not that I want to read Barrett ever)

Make us earn it.

As for this piece of [censored], he has no idea and changes with the wind.


Get stuffed Barrett ya Fllog!

We don't need you sucking up you floggin ambulance chaser.

Slimeball. Jumps on the bandwagon when it suits. Always 1step behind and writes like he's a prophet. He can get stuffed.

Pretty sure we all agree with his thoughts of Roos hopefully staying on as senior coach another few years

Over to you PJ

The only Barrett I recognize is Ray Barrett.


He's still an utter [censored].

(Oh fine, auto-censor, he's a terrible journalist with no insight, no expertise, and worst of all, no integrity. I'd say that's more offensive than calling him a f-l-o-g, but there you go).

Edited by autocol

I would love to see this clown out in the public.

Is he one of the Barrett's of Wimpole St?

Thrust of article is that we must sign up Roos immediately. When that doesn't happen he can claim we failed as usual.

He can't write either, the first few sentences in that quote are poorly constructed. It is the sort of sloppy syntax up with which I will not put!


This is why he is regarded as a trash journalist. Jumps on well and truly after we've been showing serious signs of improvement.

Please for the love of all that is good don't click this link. Starve the bastards and they'll all die out one by one.

On the contrary, everybody should inundate him with praise claiming that it is the best and most incisive article he has every written. maybe he might even get the message?

On the contrary, everyone should just ignore him.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
