Relax, his problem in this case isn;t with MFC, it is with Roos personally.

Roos dared to criticise the umpiring/officialdom. Barrett has a long record of delivering wet-lettuce counterpunches on behalf of the hand that feeds him.

It is plainly a personal attack, the final comment does sum it all up "The gun for hire can't lose from here", declaring not only that Roos is a mercenary but that he is also being given undue high status.

Such a beta-male stereotype.

A cockroach on his good days Barrett dreams of being a beta-male. He is not even human, he certainly doesn't exhibit the normal traits of one.

Damien Barrett is a disposable commodity in the big picture.

WYL, I'd argue not. Commodities have a value.

hahaha! Yes.

Murdoch would have a price for Barrett.

He writes what he is told.

Today on AFL.com (in-between hyping up Frawley going to Hawthorn) he made the startling comment that if his gut feel is right Shaun Atley is about to be 'elite'.

This Shaun Atley?

Those are seriously average numbers. If by elite you mean scraping into the top 400 players in the league them maybe. I don't imagine Ablett, Watson and Pendlebury are nervous.

North are still the most schizophrenic team in the league, but he doesn't wanna talk about that.

He is a very bias North supporter, i rate Atley as a very good B grader, he may become an A grader but a long way from elite

I was just listening to Triple M where they were discussing the greatest players in each club - after what Carlton is doing as a part of their sesquicentenary.

Someone raised up Melbourne and Barrett had to say "There are only probably 5 for Melbourne compared to 25 at Hawthorn" (this is coming from the same man who said Hodge would be in their top 10).

Lucky Lyon piped in and named some of the greats including many pre-1964.

What an insufferable little man. He is the type of person people emigrate to avoid.

I got this from another site. Apparently, Barrett and his former workmate Mark Robinson don't get on and there's been some aggro between them.

So when Robbo became chief football writer of the HUN, Barrett piped up that, "replacing Mike Sheehan with Robbo is like replacing Sinatra with a Karaoke singer".

Strangely enough for the one and only time I think he is right. Robbo is a complete lightweight, and a [censored] when it comes to Essedon. As biased in his own way about the Dons as Barrett is about north MELBOURNE. Neither of them could hold a candle to Sheahan who had enough integrity as chief football writer of the HS to keep his passion for the MFC to himself while he was doing that job. He now, to our great pleasure, feels under no such constraints.

He's clearly just aiming to bait MFC supporters, and precious little else.

Don't give the human stain any oxygen.

Actually, I've often referred to Barrett as an oxygen thief !

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
