Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
I had lunch with a mate in Sydney earlier this year - he works in AFL media. We were drinking Grenache and it was going down a treat. He then proceeded to tell me that Damien Barrett put him onto it as he rated it highly. I told him that I hated Barrett and thought was was a flog. He advised that he’s actually one of the nicest guys in media and obviously knows a good wine. I’ve never been able to hate him as much. That wine was delicious. I hope I haven’t spoilt Grenache for you all.

I'm glad that I don't drink!

You can be a nice guy but still hold a grudge and let that influence your opinions, views and stories.

You obviously didn't take the pledge and may not be catholic Irish. Yeh I can cope with Barrett being a nice bloke face to face but a flog in his job.

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
As a rule I don't read his stuff, but there's always an exception to the rule as he's got a lengthy in depth piece on the Daniher/Sydney/Essendon saga.
But my take away was a side note, BlackSoul says bluntly and clearly that there are now multiple clubs that refuse to deal with Dodoro, thus they won't deal with Essendon.
From a strategic perspective, how does the Essendon board think the best way of acquiring talent by trade is to have a knob that multiple clubs won't trade/deal with?

Read that article too and it was quite interesting. The other thing that leapt out to me from it was that it was all Daniher's idea, which made me wonder why Barrett had been so pointedly scathing of Tom Harley during the trade period for "luring Daniher for months" and then not getting the deal done.

Good pick up, I wonder what changed Barrett’s mind/opinion and when?
A top 10 pick this year and possibly next... if it doesn’t get the job done (I’d do it), it should be so incredibly close to get a deal done.
If Daniher thinks Dodoro is ruining his life, he ain’t seen nothing yet. He’s an advertisement to not going to Essendon and having your future placed under his arrogance & incompetence.

I read this stuff (about Adrian) every year.
I really like him. Since no-one else seems to have a nice word to say, maybe it's me that has it wrong or maybe it's just me. I know he has a reputation of being hard to deal with, but for all of that Essendon do seem to be involved in a LOT of trades...
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

I guess the difference here was the reference that Barrett made bluntly saying there’s now multiple clubs who won’t deal with him/them. If true, that becomes problematic.

I've said this a few times here, clubs should refuse to deal with him and be clear on the reasons why and Essendon will need to take action. Most clubs can't just keep improving just via the draft because they also need to bring is players via trades. If that avenue is closed the club will need to look long and hard at their approach
Player managers trying to get players either too or from Essendon will pressure Essendon to make changes because of the impasse
