Upgrade Barrett now!!!

Nepotism used to be all the rage during the Middle Ages. It was called Feudalism

I can't agree with this. Dessie would have handled the Gifty situation much better than it was handled. Our current situation can be traced directly to how the Gifty situation was handled.

I'm not arguing he should have stayed, but it should have been handled better than it was and had that happened we wouldn't have imploded like we did from August 2014 onwards.

We would have also had either or both of the 2012 and 2013 premierships under our belt by then too imo, which would have given everyone a different mentality about the club - similar to what Melbourne has today, but arguably better.

Tooves did a magnificent job salvaging a competitive team from the carnage Des left behind - but if we never had the Des split I think we would have been close to unstoppable in those years.

Des is hopeless. With everything he's had at his disposal at the Dogs look at what he's achieved. The dogs are a basket case. IMO Tooves, with everything he had against him, was the better coach.

I would be gutted if Hasler ever came back to coach our team.

The only thing I know for sure is that Des and Tooves were a better team than Barrett and Cartwright.

I agree and disagree.......

Trent was a bad decision! A young novice coach is not what this club needed. We needed a senior coach with a track record and strong discipline, we needed someone with a track record to rebuild the team and develop the players we had.

Dezzie should never have left ................if he stays we have a dynasty..........we had the players and the taste of success. Whoever and everyone who was involved in him leaving should be banished from the club forever!!! They obviously all put their own personal interests and pettiness before that of the success of the footie club.

What our franchise needs is a f***ing broom to get rid of all the current ownership and management...............they are all self serving f***ing c***s!!

I have said this and will continue to say it , I really do blame senior management and some support staff for where we are now. They have no future direction for this club, ask them do they have a strategic future plan , nope.

I agree this club I love will not be again a force until a clean out of management happens, just stinks at the moment. We are the laughing stock of most other sporting clubs in terms of management.

Ever since Gould anointed TB as the next Macquire / Robinson our season has nose dived. Mid season Barrett was telling anybody that would listen that he loved the joint and loved the playing group. The team were playing like a happy squad up until round 19. The silence surrounding Barrett's contract extension is deafening. The performance of the playing group suggests that they know Barrett is on the way out and they are not happy. I expect that someone is throwing a lot of coin at TB and he has dropped his beloved playing group like a bad habit. No good guys left in this game everybody is just chasing the dollar! Our administration is inept with too many agendas and too many egos at play. I fear that the mighty sea eagle may become extinct!

Methinks you enjoy stirring the pot there Strone. I suspect that if we were all against Barrett and thought the team was hopeless, you'd take the opposite view, just to read the reactions. I bet you enjoyed debating at school.

Debating during Mass perhaps?
Seems like a Strone specialty.

spot on Frank ...

1000-1

You left off a few zeros, more like 1000000-1

Seems the Kool Aid has developed a bitter aftertaste going by this thread

 

[StuBoot]

Sounds like your boss hates you !!

Nah, if his boss really hated him, he'd employ his mother-in-law!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Sack the Barrett

Sack the Trent

You've got to laugh. Wasn't long ago that plenty on here were panicking about him going to the dogs. He certainly has metaphorically if you read this thread.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Wont need to sack him

We will miss the 8 and he's off to the dogs

Lol

Bye Trent

 

[Fluffy]

Rumour is now Barrett to the dogs and Neil Henry is coming here.

Walters to the tits.

That doesn't sound very believable. Just because coaches are moving around doesn't mean that the first jobless coach will be the one to take Barrett's job if he goes. My money is on Hasler or one of Fulton's sons taking over if Barrett leaves.

Feels that way.

If you want some **** to hit the fan just wait for the Ha$ler to Manly , Barrett to Dogs announcement!

I for one would be ****ing pissed!

 

[pjayz]

I haven't bought into the whole Barrett leaving business, and I still don't; however, it would explain our dramatic dip in performance over the past 5 weeks.

 

[weev]

Has Barrett been spotted at Surfers yet?
