yep... you're right Ryan, while Madge was tossing up who to coach for, Penn put paid to this nonsense and installed Des in his rightful place..I thought that same thing, but I think Madge was when we got Des back.
Absolutely Tooves was shafted for Barrett.Tooves wanted to.
Yeah, seeing Tooves go like that didn't sit well with me at all. These days, only prefer coaches that are either ex Manly players or Manly aligned.When Barrett was brought on there were other coaches interested but we all know Toovey should have never been punted if capability was the true measure. Barrett was hyped up as a super coach in the making by people like Gould. As we saw this was all hot air. By the time Barrett’s tenure was over and he aired his frustrations through the media not many were interested and we were even rejected somewhat by Madge 😂. We were lucky Dessie was in a similar boat taking a lot of the rap for the doggies demise. A match made in heaven I guess. Btw, Barrett’s biggest problem this year will be fanatics within the Kennel if he does not deliver.
It was Gould who Barrett was ringing up & whinging to about Manly & Gould who advised Barrett to resign lest he damage his "brand".

toilet seat without the holeBarrett still a flog who can't coach at Under 5s level, a flog who always was and always will be no matter what he does when it comes to coaching a footy team, he might be a great bloke socially, in the gym, at the beach, having a BBQ or just watching ( and I only mean watching) a kids footy game, but when it comes to being a first grade footy coach hes' a toilet seat, useless until you really need it and only then you bear your arse and sit on it.... thats Barrett ... a toilet seat.. LMFAO, a look at me look at me excuse dribbling Flog and an imposter at Brookie.
He looks good in Blue and white!
He'll never be the kind of coach to get the best from his players because he's too keen on being one of the boys.You just know that even when the Dogs inevitably jag a few wins against quality opposition due to the talent they've bought, that they will have a soft underbelly while ever Barrett is coach. I've seen it with lots of coaches and remember the Barrett era at Manly well...come out and fire one week and get all excited that a corner had been turned, only for the side to get flogged the next.
I thought he turned us down before Des returned.That really was a dark period for us, didn't Madge (Maguire) turn us down before we got Trent. Boy did we dodge a bullet !!
