So much for players leaving eh

Well I suppose the rumours are true! Signing a contract would be considered a legal action, would it not?

so Barret got one right. Sort of.

Damian Barrett is not an impressive man. Also shouldn't talk of conflicts of interest when you work for the AFL.

Listening to the 'Sarah' interview carefully.. you notice that she always refers to "Essendon" rather than "the club" which is what most players and families use.

For example:
"Essendon only care about themselves, it is all about them"

Where as you would expect, linguistically, for it to come out like:
"The club only cares about themselves, it isn't about us"

I would have expected to hear Sarah refer to "the Club" FAR more than "Essendon" "the Essendon Football Club". Especially if she lives with her son and talks to him about stuff regularly.

I don't know any players who refer to it as anything other than "the club" or "my club" etc..

For example, Player X leaves for training/meetings every day.. he will exit saying:
"Bye Mum, I'm off to the (footy) club" not "Bye Mum, I'm off to the Essendon Football Club"

So it would seem VERY strange that in the 'heat and emotional trauma' that was that phone call.. she would use such cold and clinical language, especially if this was just a 'spur of the moment call'.

There are several other moments that make no sense either.

Ive heard it a few time s now & I dunno, sounds almost scripted - imagine for a second you are as distraught as she sounded through most of it - speaking for myself I doubt I could get a couple of words out let alone the very coherent well constructed sentences that she delivered to an audience of who knows how many.

Hope I am wrong tbh but I am leaning more & more toward it being bullshit, not that it probably matters at this point.

Wish Sam had of said something like, hmm 300 game legend or media flog, I'll trust my sources Damo.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Melkman please.

I don't care who it is that signs, but signing at this particular time just speaks volumes for that player. I hope other players follow suite.

 

[abers47]

Sam: And I bet I've spoken to more people about it that you
Barrett: No you havent.

Made me chuckle. Barrett had to get his little snippet in there to sound like a school boy.

a pathetic school boy at that!

 

[Burzum]

I don't normally like playing the man but does Barrett have any redeeming qualities? He seems like a prick, is shit at his job and looks like a retired ice hockey player from the 1950s, and not in the sense that he looks like a badass.

 

[Stopher]

Let's see if it gets a mention on TFS seeing that the fact that Dustin Martin's negotiations are 'moving along' was deemed newsworthy.

Agree.

I'm tipping Stu.

 

[duckdog]

Knee jerk much??

 

[OzBomber]

I miss the good old days. When we laughed at Hirdy for being on Ellen.

Doesn't have "Player terminating contract" attached to it.
