Player Watch Cat B Rookie (2024) - Benny Barrett

[Peninsula Boy]

Can we get this thread back on track by discussing whether Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, Lucifer Sam, or Bike is the best track on Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine are equal best for mine.

Career high 20 disposals in the SANFL for Barrett this week.

 

[davesnothere]

Best game so far.

Now needs to back it up until it gets boring.

Now needs to back it up until it gets boring.

He's quick and incisive, tackles with intent. Really looked the part. Already gone past Charleson and Anastasopoulos.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Get him in

 

[Rash]

would probs match berrys current afl output

give all the kids a taste of afl level

Can Benny be that lockdown small defender Port desperately needs?

Can Benny be that lockdown small defender Port desperately needs?

I would be keen to see him in that role. His toolkit seems perfect for it.

 

[all seeing eye]

Could be what they tried to make out of McEntee, a high speed , high pressure defensive small forward. Who also has the ability to hit the scoreboard. May also be able to have bursts in the middle.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Benny seems to have those small forwards athletic traits.

I hope he works on his forward and small forward craft because we will want a bloke who kicks goals as well.

 

[Addy23]

Barrett is better suited to the high half forward role than Mead. Has all the attributes needed

[Rigs]

Love his work ethic

 

[240volt]

This dude could be a cult hero there's a bit of Kozzie about him.

 

[JimmyBC]

There's a bit?

For any SANFL watchers, how has Benny Barrett been tracking?
Haven’t heard much talk about him.

Haven’t heard much talk about him.

Moves a bit like David Rodan, but hasn't been given any mid minutes. Not SANFL standard (yet).

 

[PearLover5]

Seen a heap of him being posted on the PAFC instagram over the last few weeks.
Clearly training pretty hard, looks zippy.
Didn’t get to follow the SANFL in detail this year, what’s the chances of seeing him debut next year?

He was pretty far off it and injured a bit I think. Who knows really.

A long way off it based on what I saw last year. However, new coach, new philosophy, on the list, every chance to have a crack if he can tidy up that first touch. Greater chance than anyone we took in the Draft this year.
