    This.

    Couldn’t agree more. The fact the official league media endorse a guy who uses his little influence to incite one of its senior coaches is ridiculous. AFL media need to be impartial - agree w that - but to play out a personal grudge is pathetic

    How dare Hodge call Barrett a knob. It's Sir knob, a knob of the highest order thank you very much.

    To air one’s dirty laundry, and to continue a personal attack is just the standard of his character. You will notice he is being pushed out of broadcast tv. It’s apps and podcasts for him these days. Even the other presenters have had enough of his crap

    He's the AFEL's designated 'pot-stirrer'. Much like Jones, Bolt and Devine cough up dead cats on a regular basis because they're paid to keep the trash fire well-stoked. HQ must be inwardly thrilled every time one of his shit takes gets people' talking' because it's 'engagement'.

    You can see precisely how respected industry figures feel about it.

    May another Brownlow dunny flush be in his forseeable future.

    Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

    So - listening to the Footyology pod the other night, I was interested to hear both Rohan Connolly and Mark Fine described Barrett as a 'gentleman' and 'one of the good guys' (in stark contrast to their words for a couple of others include Craig Hutchison).

    So - what gives?

    Is this all a 'put up' to stir trouble (as suggested above) or is he simply a dead set peanut?
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    I've heard journalists defend Devine and Bolt in precisely the same terms. Lovely, worldly, eminently reasonable people, if you knew them personally.

    Evidently doesn't stop them dropping toxic turds left right and centre if it's made worth their while.

    Draw from that what you will and what that suggests of their character and contribution to broader debate.

    People who knew Ted Bundy thought he was a good guy, too.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I think it's exactly that and it works. So many people can't let it go but I do get why so many people including the clubs and players find him frustrating.

    Just when he couldn't get any stupider:

    Adelaide Crows
    If

    a Showdown isn't played at the MCG on a Friday night some time soon ...
    then

    it will be an opportunity lost on so many fronts. It is the main AFL rivalry, by the length of Winx's winning margin in her second Cox Plate (eight lengths).

    Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

    Barrett's in the ch9 stable right?

    So his air time with TFS axing is a now few minutes on Monday night and Sunday morning. Maybe stupid stuff like that is a cry for help to remain relevant.

    I actually agree they'll have a sniff.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Yeah what would make a showdown great is if you took away the people who cared about the result and played it in front of a crowd of 5,000
