When will Damien Barrett eff off?

[austinnn]

When?

He adds nothing to footy, he is a spiteful little creep, his stupid Sliding Doors thing isn't sliding doors at all, his use of player nicknames is nauseating.

Just go

Can't say I've ever understood this opinion... I'll pretty quickly take him over most other journo turned opinionist types out there. And I'd suggest the lack of engagement you've had all day in this thread suggests that I mightn't be alone in my thinking.

If you're not a fan, don't be "spiteful" yourself and move along

Thanks for the advice, Damien.

 

[Cyclops]

Slow on the uptake, obvious takes, the bizarre sliding doors trope, and zero actual football insight.

Did he ever play?

I'd take a fumbling comment from a poorly trained Hodge or Selwood who have tonnes of experience and (once you sort through the poor delivery) something to say over this bloke.

He's the frozen TV dinner of football journos, not actually toxic but gives no nourishment.

 

[Dogs Rule]

The only issue I have is with Sliding Doors which he basically uses as a vehicle to take personal potshots and further his own personal grudges with snide little clips and digs and the use of 'we' constantly.

 

[Tandy]

I don't mind him. The AFL.com articles are usually average at best. But his work on triple m, podcast form and tv is better than most journalists.

IF you like Damian Barrett

THEN go heck yourself.

 

[PerthBoy86]

In the vein of Caroline Wilson, 'football' journos who talk more about the politics, scandals, goss etc that I really don't care about.

 

[SuperMal]

Leech.

This is one of the worst calls I've ever seen from any journo.






One of the best aspects of our game is the free flowing non-stop relentlessness of it. Adding the worst part of a different sport (basketball) and adding it into ours would ruin it.

Did purple play the game at any level?

100% this.

Getting tired of AFL Journo's trying to Americanise our great game.

Leave it alone FFS.

What can you say about someone who accepts being called ‘penis head’. I mean seriously!
