Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

[Rocket Science]

That's not how you spell wanker.

Good spotting. I can't abide poor spelling.

[Twodogs]

I get that - I still take issue with the vehicle (AFL media) and their need for shitful clickbait

Does everything have to be about money?*



*Don’t answer that

Houses. It's all about houses.

Houses. It's all about houses.

Who needs two houses? Nobody.

We have a culture that wants to whinge about what people say rather than just ignore them. In the end ratings wins the day and Barrett has a strong following regardless that he just isn't that good.
He throws out the bait and people bite again and again. This thread was started 4 years ago and Barrett's brand of sarcasm and ridicule is just intoxicating for some people.

I live near a retired lady who used to whinge every day about Neil Mitchell, she hated him with a passion but her whole morning was planned around listening to and then criticizing his show. She couldn't never switch him off.

Barrett has come up with a winning formula like it or not.

They say the person you actively 'hate' reflects your shadow side. You relate to them, understand them but are irritated by them because they reflect things about yourself that you don't like. You get fixated by them. All the whingers about Barrett, Trump etc, watch out, he might be more like you than you'd like to admit.

Exactly! You can only live in one at a time.

Always interested in what 'they' say.

you can always astral travel to the other.

Only someone who has never played Monopoly would ask such a question.

THE exodus from The Footy Show has begun with relentless newshound Damian Barrett ending his relationship with the program.

While the future of the controversial football show is still unclear — Nine is yet to make any comment about whether the brand will continue into next year — Barrett is on the move.

Barrett will take on an expanded role at AFL.com.au, which he has been a part of for the past nine years, and will effectively become the face of the platform leading with opinion, analysis and news breaking.

He exits The Footy Show after a decade but is expected be involved with other Nine footy related shows.

“I don’t know what is going on with it,” he said of The Footy Show on The Sounding Board podcast.

“I had done it for nine or 10 years. I loved every minute of it inclusive of this year where it has had more problems than it has had in the past.

“I love the show, I will always love the show but there just comes a time …. it just is the right time to put that part of your life behind you.

“It was a great time, a great show and I hope whatever goes on next year with it on the Thursday platform is successful.”

Sooooooo baseline...….let's see it escalate from here (rubs the lotion on his skin......where's the hose?).

[Ghost Dog]

All AFL media stinks, quite frankly. It is a natural extension of the corrupt Australian media, snide, self-entitled, so quick to remind you how many Walkley's they have won.

[Mofra]

I think it's wonderful that Barrett unites the football world.


Sure it's against him, but it's still united. Find someone that likes him. I challenge you.

That was for round one.
