Damian Barrett's anti MFC spin doctoring

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 !

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
