If Jack leaves he leaves, if he stays he stays, what Barrett says has nothing to do with it.

And I guarantee he knows more about what’s happening behind the scene in the AFL than anyone on here.
I guess exactly the same reason some people care about what’s written on an anonymous fan forum: it offends people’s sensibilities and disturbes their mental models of reality.

Why does anyone care what someone writes about flog barrett on a footy forum?

When was the last time he went raking the muck at norf?

How can you guarantee what pimple head knows compared to every poster on here?
You cant

Are you serious? Are you best mates with Barret or something?

Like Sam McClure, Hutchy, Tom Browne, etc. these blokes pump themselves up and talk crap to keep high paying jobs. Trade Table on Ch 9 is a perfect example. I know for a FACT that a couple of things they spoke about were NOT TRUE.

Answer the question. Otherwise there mustn't be anything to defend your allegations.

I will yours. Yes we are best mates... :roll:

I personally don't care what is written as such - but at this time of year I'm looking for information on WTF is happening.

I'm not looking for click bait opinion pieces.

Quite clear that you do care, a lot.

Barret made up the Townsend link to the Saints.

Exactly.

And just for the record, Barrett is very very very good at his job. That's the reason he is front and centre on so many mediums and breaks massive stories such as the Sam Murray drug test.

It's just a pity a large percentage of people are sooks and can't see past that. They hate the messenger because of the message at times.

Have any proof that came from him originally... and that there was no link ever?

Must have a million others, and more substantial stories to be called a flog...

Even if were true, a 'link' is hardly an issue.

Provide something of substance.

You are actually serious about Barret being honest and truthful with his reporting...I thought you were just joking.

Absolute disgrace what that cockhead wrote about Beams leaving Brisbane, he should be tarred and feathered for shite like that and I don't care if it is his job and he is supposed to be the best. That was just lies.

Let's wait until the end of trade week. Even still doesn't appear to be lies given the whole of the media are reporting the same thing now via their own sources.

Wait didn't Beam's manager just mentioned he'd entertain a move now? Wow who would have thought.

Jeez, maybe I did go the early crow but he did back down on his statements about Beams the other night without actually admitting he made it up.

Good post bro.

100% off the mark. But I already told you that prior to the trade going through.

Still proclaiming it was a lie? You're not alone on this thread bagging Barrett - a lot off the mark.

Barrett is a turd. Plain and simple.

And as turds go, he is pretty ugly to boot.

Anyone that thinks Barrett is a good jounalist needs to be prescribed mandatory reading of his Sliding Doors columns on afl.com.au.

No I told you he didn't make stuff up prior to the trade and regardless of the trade.

I'm in trouble if I need to start explaining every post now to you.

Anyways, still appears some others struggle to separate not liking the message and the messager being great at their job. Pity...
