Garry Lyon and Damian Barrett

[Bluelegs]

Hearing Lyon now defending Barrett... cringeworthy stuff. I think Lyon said at one stage he respects Barrett more than anybody; doesn't say much for him or the footy industry.

I think he made a good point about St.Kilda not doing him any favours when they came out and said Dempster not playing was purely a form issue after he didn't play in the VFL.

Fair point.

Did he at least acknowledge the factual inaccuracy in the reporting?

Also, in Sliding Doors, why does Damien Barrett use the royal 'we'? There's one name we want to see... there's one player we're worried about...

Is this meant to make it sound more authoritative? Is there a whole posse of people who've elected Damien Barrett their spokesman?

It's like he took a copy writing course at TAFE and is now putting those learnings into effect.
