Bellend Barrett’s clarko agenda?

[hawkman]

He's saying we finished below 9th (ie. double figures) in each of those years and it would take a miracle for us to finish above 10th this year. He forgot 2020 anyway, the spanner.

He is saying that when we make the finals this year he will concede Clarko is a miracle worker

He's more the threadworm type

Fed up with Barret’s alleged criticism of the club in recent years, in particular towards chairman Ben Buckley and Archer, it prompted the club to privately complain to the AFL late last year.

It is said the AFL is monitoring Barrett’s commentary in his column.

Purple copping it on today's mmm podcast - last week he said Essendon were the absolute one team certain to win last week, no possible way they could lose.

Allegation by Robbo in the HS, to which Barrett has already refuted

I think it’s funny. Clarko doesn’t care about copping whatever in the media, only cares if it’s directed at his players

 

[Mojo]

I don't know where the arrogance comes from from some of these media types. Imagine you thinking you're bigger than Alistair Clarkson...

Barrett’s views on the HFC are equatable to a chihuahua trying to bite the moving wheels of semi trailer.

Neither he or the dog really understands what it is that they’re doing, and were it not for all the pooping, barking and utensil sure stupidity, it would almost be entertaining to watch.

Almost....

That is GOLD!

Got his positive comment about Hawthorn for the year out of the way early

Not about Hawthorn ... it was about Will Day. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who would make a negative comment about the boy. Barrett included.

v Lions fracas on Friday night. Scott appeared to win his admiration for “ever-so-menacingly” and “ever-so-coolly” getting involved.

“It was old-school, stand-your-ground stuff, and I loved it. In a deliberately sanitised AFL world, it was as rare as a torpedo.”

Now I generally like to keep a critical and level-head when journalists are being pilloried on here – but – if you dare suggest Barrett’s interpretation would’ve been consistent if this was Clarko getting involved.. I WILL FIGHT YOU.

Certainly there was no hint of Barrett’s admiration for “menace” or “ground-standing” when reporting on Clarko’s “viscous slur” at Matthew Lloyd on the boundary after “that game” in 2009.

I’d have thought Clarko often provides that rare outburst of raw humanity in that “deliberately sanitised AFL world”, yet he continually attracts Barrett’s condemnation.

How can we let this oxygen thief die a media death... not a single more post about anyone of his AFL induced articles

He said "last year" agreed he is a spanner, but he didn't forget last year.

 

[Kuuz]

Add, to no one's surprise, Cornes to the list of bellends. This hot take from him was laughable...



The comparison of our agency intake to Norf's is just silly. They barely got any B-listers in theirs and mainly C-grade players.

He actually said on radio yesterday that you can't count CJ as under 25 talent because he was taken in the rookie draft so under that theory Dean Cox was a worse ruck than Hamish McIntosh.

 

[Flukey!]

Meh...I have never understood why we as supporters get so sensitive about negative media commentary.
We are 17th after all.
Is Cornes really saying anything different to what many supporters are saying anyway in the other threads?

Yeah exactly right mate. The key thing to remember is Kane Kornes is paid to get people to react emotionally.
I find it quite cringe as you never know what he's actually thinking.

I used to buy into it, but I have a self imposed media/social media ban and it's done wonders for my mental health.

 

[MrPremiership]

I don't understand analysing a teams "talent" based on how many 1st round draft picks they've had.

It ignores:
- recruiting (i.e. Scrimshaw, a former first round pick)
- elite talent outside the first round (i.e. Worpel)
- the notion that first round draft picks are always good players (hint, some are a bust)

Such a lazy analysis

Spot on - the draft get's you in the door and then all players are equal

I am going to take your meh and meh it. People are having a go at him saying you can't count CJ as under 25 because he was taken in the Rookie draft. They aren't bemoaning him thinking hawthorn are crap. They are bemoaning the fact that Cornes is a campaigner-faced baboon wasting oxygen that could have been spent keeping Prince Philip alive long enough to get a letter from the Queen.

Kick just one more goal against Geelong and actually turn up in the first quarter against Freo and then we're 6th on the ladder and all the talk is about how good our young talent looks and that we still have Gunston, Sicily and Day to come back in, and Denver yet to even debut.

Likewise Geelong drop the games against Brisbane and Hawthorn that they didn't deserve to win and suddenly all the talk is about how they're in the bottom 4 with a super old list that they recruited older, established talent to try and win a flag this year.

Hopefully bellend is reading, because this is what a sliding doors situation looks like.
