Not sure about Horse but it's common knowledge or so I thought about the other 2.

Yeah and when you look at Barrett you can see someone that probably takes whatever they can get!

IF... you stop reading the sliding doors article THEN... it's very hard to get annoyed by it

Was that ex-The West reporter Eliza who sheepishly responded that it was the trash TW/Suma article in question?

Love that Simmo played it straight back asking for more info. He had his nose out of joint a bit today.

I don't like taking potshots at journalists... but I have no idea how Damian Barrett has become some prominent. He's bloody everywhere. And he doesn't seem to offer any insightful analysis really. At least Caroline Wilson occasionally has inside scoops... but Barrett is just a talking head that shows up everywhere.

Can't stand the bloke - pure slime. Constant VFL bias, and always taking potshots at teams that are down or not doing as they should be. Point to mention, his wanting the showdown in Vic. He is a very deserving figure to hate.

Amazed and saddened that it's still up, surely the should've deleted it and issued an apology as soon as he was called out.

 

[Forward Press]

Oh my, Jon Ralph you peanut

Ralph's tweet is deleted - what did it say?

BARRETT: Woeful West Coast entering Fitzroy territory

Yeah, I'd like to see them close up our shop like Fitzroy with all the money we bring in. This is just the next round of 'pile on the Eagles' because the 'state team'. 'drugs' and 'free kick bias' narrative is dead. yes we suck right now, but teams have sucked in the past and never been compared to a club that was sent to QLD. F%#@ these campaigners.

I'm not sure he's saying anything that's untrue in that article.

We are historically bad. It's fact.

"In yet another glaring integrity issue for the AFL fixture, six clubs have the extraordinarily good fortune of playing the Eagles twice this year. Carlton managed to increase its percentage from 92.4 to 113.3 during its waltz across Optus Stadium on Saturday night, and will already be looking forward to its round 19 match at its home against the Eagles."

I do wonder why percentage is a critical issue for Carlton to raise it as a concern?
I mean, seriously, unless they end on the same points as Richmond or other competitive teams draw it will have no impact on the race to the finals.

 

[Shuestar13]

Brilliant, thanks Damo. So I take it, if we were to apply for a PP he would be all for it right? Need to help a “drain” on the competition now.

No, we are historically among the best performing teams in the league. We are historically bad against our own lofty standards, yes.

A week for SPS.

Thought the Freo guy would get 2.
