Nope.... he was good to us all season:

Week 1 - Kennedy needs to get his body right otherwise eagles could go bad (fair enough)
Week 2 - Kennedy's knee (again - lazy but ok)
Week 3 - Liam Ryan is awesome (tick)
Week 4 - Nic Nat is back, Kenndy is coming back - things look in 'very nice shape' (tick)
Week 5 - Thinks Adam Simpson is concerned about optus stadium hardness (fair enough)
Week 6 - Thinks Yeo will get beaten by Fyfe (wrong, but fair enough)
Week 7 - Shannon Hurn is awesome (tick)
Week 8 - Nic Nat all class after tribunal (tick)
Week 9 - tips Eagles to beat tigers, says flag dream is alive (tick)
Week 10 - calls Eagles a must watch team, says hes on the bandwagon (tick)
Week 11 - if Dom sheed can't get a spot, Eagles must be a mighty team in 2018 (tick)
Week 12 - says we started our bye at 3/4 time v saints (fair enough)
Week 13 - says he thinks Swans will beat Eagles, only because Darling is out (fair enough)
Week 14 - our Thursday night game was 'our 1 bad game for the season' (fair enough)
Week 15 - no Kennedy and no Darling, and now no LeCras - no hope until at least one back (fair enough)
Week 16 - as above (lazy, but fair enough)
Week 17 - if Kennedy & Darling play, Eagles are the Tigers challenger (tick)
Week 18 - stands up for Camera man (pass - Eagles have apologised for this)
Week 19 - Gov deserves his big contract (tick)
Week 20 - Sam Mitchell breaks contract, club is angry (pass)
Week 21 - Feels sympathy for Gaff, sick of getting told he can't (tick)
Week 22 - if Kennedy doesn't come back, no premiership (fair enough)
Week 23 - will beat lions, will finish 2nd and deserve it (tick)
bye - If Kennedy is 80% fit, Eagles wins qualifying and preliminary finals & highly competitive in Grand Final (tick, tick)
FWK1 - Should beat Pies, but wont be easy (tick)
FWK2 - Loves Jetta goal celebration (tick)
Prelim - Dees wont be able to shut down Kennedy in Prelim (tick)
GF - If Kennedy cuts loose, Eagles win Flag (fair enough)
Trade1 - "2018 premiership was one of the all-time great, unpredictable successes. And they did it with real class." (tick)
Trade2 - Schoey is A grade on field and in media (tick)

Often people in this thread have no idea. Most of Barrett's stuff should have been in the positive / unbiased thread.

I know this reasonable balanced info probably doesnt belong in this thread :cool:

Edit: yes he was obsessed with Kennedy (obviously a massive fan boy :p) - but everything he said was pretty spot on.

Excellent post.

Barrett hated on us last year went full 360 and was all bandwagon this year. Not fair to say he got it wrong or that he’s made up beams etc, which has now been confirmed as a possibility. He’s actually very reliable with stories he breaks imo, need to get some credit with all his FA news over the years and let’s not forget he broke the Essendon saga.

Went full 360? So he was on the hatred bandwagon?

****, you'd be right.

I listened to the interview this morning. He definitely implied the 2 Grand Finalists plus Richmond and GWS.

They continually tried to get him to say GC was stuffed but he kept saying it was all going well.

On the GF he was asked what he thought of it. His reply was he thought it was one of the best GFs in living memory.

who cares what that merchant banker thinks. I am sure he sees GC in the 8.

GWS could have had half their list spontaneously combust 5 minutes before the interview and he still would have said he rated them as a favourite for next season.

Half their list has practically combusted every year for the last three years so you're not really that far off.
