The surname Barrett apparently means ‘bear power’.
So in an Australian context that describes a stoned koala p1ssing on people.
Apt description I’d postulate.
Anyway go Shiel!
Last year’s recruits were exciting- Shiel should be Adam ‘Icing’ Cooney on afterburners
Barrett. I knew this was coming. After his 2 months off he started with an article on Hannebury, the trouble is, he missed the boat on the AFL drugs issue and instead tried to make it all about Essendon being hard to deal with.
I tend to the view that he didn’t “miss” the boat. He is trying to create a distraction. After all, we all do what our boss tells us to do. If we want to keep our jobs.
Even if it’s 100% true (and the odds of that are astronomical), who actually gives a ■■■■? If I was a Fark Carlton fan I’d have no interest in reading articles about a guy we missed out on. If I was a fan of 16 other clubs I wouldn’t give a ■■■■ either.
The thing that is comical is that the sticking point is essendon were apparently being tough to deal with and Carlton were going swoop in the last 20 mins of exchange period.
However Carlton was not prepared to trade pick 1, so exactly where was Carlton finding 2 r1 picks at the 11th hour?
Exactly. The point he made about GWS wanting Sheil to go to Carlton would have been related as well. They only would have wanted that if Pick 1 was on the table. He forgot to mention that little titbit.
Well, I for one look forward to Parrot’s dissertation on and blow-by-blow breakdown of Einstein’s theory of relativity.
From there it’s only a hop, skip and jump and the man will be solving cancer.
I’m not quite sure how mankind actually coped during the pre-Barrett years…
Barretts just acting out because his piece of sh|t club is going to miss out on their #1 target Josh Kelly again. theyve missed out on literally every star player that they have made a bid for. his hatred for us is the only thing keeping him going at this point.
