Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

[westdog54]

He definitely holds a grudge

I think the answer is an emphatic 'Yes he does' after Saturday night's showing.

So Barrett defines Bevo as going into a ‘frenzy’ when raising quite legitimately a topical matter amongst the coaches and past Club leaders, and without our Club represented on Hocking’s Mates Club, and yet the likes of the Scott brothers, Buckley etc very regularly use their platform to air all matters of grievances with the AFL without such vilification and disrespect coming their way from this bottom feeder.

As the AFL starts to get heavy on social media trolls Barrett would be a great place for them to start.

He concentrated on having a go at the Marvel surface (referencing the Suckling incident) this week.

Topical? Yes.
An issue? Yes.
But mostly he just wrote about it so he didn’t have to give the us a positive for the win.

You’d think a reference to Bont or Naughton or even Libba might have been warranted, but nah.

[Insufficient Intent]

Barrett is rebarbative scum, unworthy of reading or discussion.
A waste of electrons adding to this thread, he doesn't deserve one.

And you read it and added to it :-)

What frustrates me most is not Barrett himself, but the AFL's endorsement of sub-standard journalism. To listen to Access all areas, where Lyon and co stuff up our player's names, dwell on petty things and give cursory analysis, it grinds me that the AFL has decided thus: Yes, this is the best we have to give. Shaun Carney could write about AFL than all the current ones put together. The Barrett 'brand' is so lacking in genuine humor, insight or real analysis.

I have to work here in China with some self-entitled people who got jobs at our org because of family connections. They are shit at their job, but walk around like peacocks. Barrett rubs me the same way. What has he done to earn his position? Basically he sucks up to people a lot!

Bevo can hold him down while Hodge fixes him up

[Sedat]

Never thought this day would happen but I agree with Barrett. That in-game interview with Hodge added absolutely nothing to the coverage, but why am I not surprised that those complete and utter arseholes at ch 7 think that interviewing a player gasping for breath on the bench while the game is actually happening makes for good TV?

[The Pie Man]

Decent little patch by the Saints, stiff not to be unbeaten...Damo though thinks it’s time to run over Hannebery’s recruitment again.

Borrowing a line I saw on Twitter - the game is genuinely worse for his involvement

Looks to me like he hit a nerve. Maybe we can interview Luke whilst he's drink driving and we can see who the knob really is. It's Barrett but you get my drift

I agree too but the fact is Barrett as a journo should know that the players EBA was inclusive of more media access , whether it was good tv or not is irrelevant, Barrett saying it was Luke doing it for his own media interest was completely wrong and he of all people should have known that.

[Rocket Science]

Purple continuing to win hearts and minds ...

And it escalated further today when Hodge called him out on it in an interview.
Barrett couldn’t have too much inside info from any clubs anymore,he has upset just about all clubs by making stupid statements.
