Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

Who does this Damo bloke barrack for anyway? There's a plethora of AFL reporters, and a very long queue of many more who want their jobs. Some are desperate for attention in an effort to be noticed and continue to show the people who employ them how many clicks they got this week. These are the ones that aren't able to get enough clicks or praise by being good and/or clever / original journalists. Surely no one that matters in the AFL gives a shit what he writes. #oxygenthief

That was painful radio. KB and listeners taking a logical point of view and Denham just repeating his nonsense and feigning offence at us paying Boyd whatever we are allegedly paying him.

KB should've asked him 'why do you care?'

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

Where's the outcry over Collingwood engaging in the second most expensive trade ever using picks 5 & 7 on Treloar, finishing bottom 5 (nowhere near finals) and no picks inside the first 25 at the draft - effectively retarding their ability to rebuild. And paying a player $800,000 to play VFL while poor Mason Cox gets a pittance as an international rookie.

Oh... Double standards, selective feigned outrage and intellectually stripped supposed journalists whose lack of intelligence and ability offer to insight leaves them unable to fulfill the professional obligations so just target a 20yo, an exciting club and play a redundant Mark Latham-esq class warfare card. Maybe that's the take home message, Barrett (and others like him) are to journalism what Mark Latham is to Prime Ministerialship. Just a dumb loud mouth with a microphone that history will show fall into nothing when the greater public ignore them when the public sees him for the fraud he is.

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

The issue is he continually flogs this dead horse.
The initial media narrative, (and The bin dweller led the chorus) was the club wouldn't be able to re-sign it's young stars .
Fair to say that's been off the mark . Then the narrative was they can't sign any free agents . Matthew Suckling was signed
He has an agenda no doubt

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

Travis Cloke averaging $800,000 - 2016 - 5 games, 5 goals (omitted, not injured). Mason Cox $50,000 as an international rookie.
Tom Boyd averaging $900,000 - 2016 - 4 games, 5 goals (injured, coming back via VFL). Jack Redpath $150,000 or so as a listed player.

If Redpath should be upset about Boyd's wage as he's playing VFL, then I look forward to the article/reference next week using the exact same logic and reasoning with Cox & Cloke. More so as Cox is getting paid the lowest level salary in the AFL (international rookie salary).

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

Redpath can't be too upset. He re-signed.

Barrett doesn't need 'facts' to illustrate a point. His crayons and boogers are just fine in illustrating his intellect.

COMPLETELY off topic. What if another club bids high for a father son (such as Daicos) and Collingwood dont have a pick that round to match it?

What happens? It will be one of my favourite ever draft nights and the nuclear fall out will be epic.

He's a Herald Sun reporter.

I'd anyone has been paying any attention the The Herald Sun lately you'll notice lies writ large across the front page.

No accountability, no regard and no reckoning. Any person that writes for them goes down in my esteem because of it.

And yeah, Barrett is a tool to boot.

Technically he's a scavenger/ bin scab.

Travis Cloke averaging $800,000 - 2016 - 5 games, 5 goals (omitted, not injured). Mason Cox $50,000 as an international rookie.
Tom Boyd averaging $900,000 - 2016 - 4 games, 5 goals (injured, coming back via VFL). Jack Redpath $150,000 or so as a listed player.

Write it. Use the exact comparison above, Toyd got 20 touches on the VFL last and worked so hard he was physically distressed a couple of times he came to the bench because he was working hard.

The last I heard about David Cloke in the reserves is he wasn't going all that flash.

Indeed they have foregone quite a few points. Is young Daicos in this year's draft?

It will be Tom Boyd's pay packets fault.
