Strike #1 - Mr Barrett

[Chris Harding]

Yep. That’s the one. The one who plays for South’s, who are 4th on the ladder. Last time I checked, we were last. I of course don’t think we would be 4th or anywhere near it if we had a Benji - but, as per my post earlier, we would have most likely won a couple more games and would have provided that direction and leadership that we are very much lacking now.

Would have beaten St.George and Canberra if Benji was steering the team around.

Not with our pack

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, wasn’t T Baz responsible for re-signing Adam Elliot? Pretty poor judgment exercised there..

Easy to talk in hind sight.

Nah Elliott has always been shit

Don’t fucking blame barret blame our players and defensive coach !!!!!

The defensive coach that Barrett hand picked?

 

[DogDays]

barrett is clueless, pre season, plus 10 weeks into the season and we still havent got to a level that shows he has taught the players the basics

And people are laying into the defence coach [emoji849]... Saying Furner should resign

What about the actual coach?

Yeh nah, don’t worry about him, he’s alright, he’s busy “rebuilding” his squad [emoji6]

 

[Bullpit]

So, basically, blame everyone except Barrett? Why? What has he done to deserve a golden pass? Have you seen anything this year to demonstrate that he is a good coach? And, if you say that he doesn’t have the cattle to demonstrate he is a good coach, that’s just complete BS. We have not improved over the last 10 rounds. In fact, you could argue we have regressed. I just want to see something from him ... something that gives us suffering fans some hope for the future. Not even asking for an actual win, but us being even mildly competitive would be an improvement.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

The funny thing is dean pay pretty much had this same team and they were putting in effort don’t know what’s happening now

Incorrect, Foran, Tolman and Jackson... Say what you want about Tolman and Jackson but they tightened up the middle... Without Thompson Barrett was stuck with Ogden and Napa Inna much faster version of the game.

I honestly just think a lot of this fan base have an uncontrollable hard-on for him because he looks the part and is a smooth talker. The married men of The Kennel want to see more of Barrett in a tight polo with his calming voice to make everything feel OK.

This can be the only explanation, as to quote another member of this forum - “I don’t think he could coach a shit out of his ass”. He’s also wasted a good chunk of the war chest already on rubbish - Flanagan, Allen, Hetho.

Whether he’s had great squads (eg Manly) or ordinary squads (eg. Us) at his disposal - the results have been abysmal and his teams have consistently underperformed. I’m seriously concerned.

Was just about to bring up Manly. Do people not realize he coached a GUN side and had less than a 30% win ratio. Then had the audacity to blame his/their short comings on the lat pull down machine. Gimme a break. ZERO evidence thus far of Barrett even being an ok coach, little own a ‘good’ one.

Absolute shite and you know.

Who says? You? You own the Kennel do you?

 

[MichaelM]

Unless you are a robot the shit you do eventually catches up with you and effects all parts of your like. Not really Karma but he didn’t exactly have the ideal pre- season and I know plenty were concerned it might impact the team mindset. His form has been erratic and he look like he lacks concentration/ focus.

 

[Dogs4Eva&Always]

Let’s be honest, wtf can he do, he couldn’t make really any changes till this week, now he’s made changes all be it a few,what else can he do for the team, maybe make better interchanges but then again that’s on the efforts and fitness of the players.
at the end of the day their the ones not performing out their, they’re the ones who put on the blue and white jersey and drag it through the mud, when are the players gonna be held accountable for their poor decisions, poor errors and absolutely atrocious efforts out there on the field, there’s only so much a coach can do.

Made him part of the leadership group as well. Barrett is a calamity of a coach.

At the end of the day, Khoury & Barrett are just smooth talkers which our fan base got easily conned by.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Our club should be speaking to John Morris now, get him ready for a full pre-season and put a line through the old deadwood + Barrett's deadwood (Flanno, Waddell, Allan, Hypethrington)
