Damn, he wanted so much to see the saints win the flag. Damn it. What a great saint, he will be sadly missed. Just do it for the Barks family now. Just do it.


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Horrible news. So proud and passionate and - from all reports - one of nature's genuine gentlemen. Very sad.

This is very sad, I remember the days at Moorabbin when I was a young bloke, Jack used to sit on the fence on the outer, He never failed to say hello to me. I used to call him Mr Barker!!

A great great man

Very sad news. His loyalty to St Kilda, like that of his son Trevor's, is what our club is all about.
