Damian Barret - Is he the best up and comer making it big now?

[Yoda_]

Was listening to Triple M today and heard Damian Barret speaking about all things football..

He spoke clearly, with knowledge not seen on Triple M for quite a while I imagine. He is an astute judge of the game and all things football.

Is he the best football journo coming through the ranks at the moment?

Any other players/journo's in this category ?

If by "best football journo" you mean: a sleazebag, muckraking gossip-turning, garbage trawling lowlife who invents stories for a living ?

Then, Decidedly YES.

It isn’t hard to excel in a field when it’s riddled with mediocrity.

 

[footyman]

He works for Hutchy...therefore he's evil.

No Hutchy! He's not. You can sack him !

 

[fletchisgun]

No !!

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Can't stand the guy.

You should know HFF_07 that a positive media thread never goes down well on these boards with these flogs

I think Barrett is good. Does his job very well

Might just get the Mods to delete it

 

[happy_eagle]

If only there was a mod around

In all seriousness though, what part of Footy Journalism is it that seems to get everyone so riled up and negative towards anyone with an opinion

And a very good morning to you too, Mrs Barrett.

It's nice to see that Damian Barrett's parents stick by him!



Damian: "Dad, I'm going to be a journalist"

Dad: "No, son, please! You can do so much better - what about a male prostitute or a cocaine dealer, or even a politician?"

He's better than Hutchy, I'll give him that.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Barret's a w***er:

The fact Essendon was one of several clubs to have a young Podsiadly in its grasp only to let him slip away probably made it worse for the deflated Bombers fans heading home.

We had Lloyd kicking 100 goals a year, Lucas kicking goals from 50m+ and Hird lifting the premiership cup. Oh woe is us for not giving Pods a game.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it is because there are so very few people in the media who have the ability to keep their personal biases on hold and present balances arguments .. i.e. the FULL story.
