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: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
