Barry Robran is IMO the best club person bar no other. I have every bit of respect for him, always around at the Norf club and available for a chat.

If you respect him so much then spell his bloody name right!

Yeah TrolGFC

Spot on there Dutchy. As a North member previously living in the country, Barrie would respond to emails personally in his marketing role with the club and encouraged me to catch up with him when at a game. I did that and didn't have to remind him of who I was,

He's got an amazing memory for names, since my son was mascot in 2004, he's always said hello to both of us and my daughter by name when ever he sees us. A true gentleman, and a legend that will take the time to talk with anyone.

You can blame that on the spell check as it highlighted it a incorrect.

He did buy Rosie a southern comfort and coke when we were at the Pier one night, perhaps just to shut her up.

It's a shame Newman didn't also buy you a glass of Drano...
Doing US all a favour & shutting YOU up!

barrie spoke at our last training before rd 1 back in 02/03 season (my last) and it was very good to listen too....he really is an excellent ambassador for anything he does and is associated with...

he sits to the right of bagshaw still

This topic has been raised before. No disrespect to Marjorie Jackson, but if a woman nicknamed 'the Lithgow Flash' (for obvious reasons) can be Governor of SA, then you'd have to rate one of the most talented native-born-and-bred SA sportspeople of all time a chance. Especially when he's respected and admired by everyone he's ever crossed paths with.

This is from Barrie's corner on nafc.com.au, I asume it's reffering to the same night Dutchy.

On Saturday night I was invited to an evening at the Mount Lofty Cricket Club to celebrate the 40 th. Anniversary of that Club. It was a
delightful occasion, although a tad warm, and I met some lovely people, including a family of 3 generations of Rooster members.

Grandparent Kaye Carthew is a Rooster member, as is her son Andrew {and wife, Sarah} and their two sons. Andrew is also President of the Club. So I was in good company. Also present and a past player of the Club was leader of the opposition, Mr. Ian Evans. There are also 3 generations of the Evans' family who have played for the Mount Lofty Cricket Club.

On the night we auctioned some items of sporting memorabilia and made a few extra dollars for the Club and for the community organisation, Operation Flinders.

Thanks Mount Lofty Cricket Club for including me in your celebratory milestone.

Hmmm, interesting, a topic started about Barrie here and VOILA an article appears in the Advertiser today about his comments.

[am Bays]

Hoorey we're media influencers!!!

SAFooty get your footy news, before it hits the street......

[Punk Rooster]

If you guys actually read the article, it was regarding his comments on http://www.nafc.com.au !
What is more surprising out of this, is that Michaelangeloportpower Rucci visited an SANFL site! (although in his defence, he may have googled "AFL" & that tidbit jumped up)

i'm just being like a real media star, not letting the facts get in the way of my arguement!!!

[Aerie]

Gotta love this last pararaph from Rucci in that article:

"I use this column to communicate news items and my thoughts to members, not to be publicly quoted in newspapers," Robran said. His column can be found on http://www.nafc.com.au.

Shows the arrogance of Rucci....

[rod_rooster]

Rucci, well i don't really need to say it as we all know what a tosser he is. He's just got his knickers in a knot because someone of far higher standing in the game and someone he knows is held in the highest regard by all people in football circles had a go at him. He's got no comeback other than to try to make Barrie come across poorly. He doesn't manage it though. Interesting he doesn't mention Barrie's comment about him.

I suspect Ben Hook has grabbed plenty of info from here for his Sunday Mail articles, seems to match up in an uncanny manner...

He probably just googled "Rucci"

[Brad]

Rucci the slime bag that he is has reached a new low today, if he read Barrie's comments every day you would see he is always making 'tounge in cheek' comments even against players in the NAFC league team. Rucci has been critised and of course his best way to comeback is to personally attack the person through his paper someone who has far more respect in the football community than himself.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Rucci's articles are not for reading, they are for laying to one side and avoiding. I pride myself on not having read a Rucci article for many years. I feel better for it.

[blueandwhite]

I agree, Rucci's articles are garbage .The only use they have is when I've run out of toilet paper.
