Stats
Bio
Maurie Barrett's brief tenure at the top level occurred during the unique landscape of the 1916 season, where the VFL competition was reduced to just four clubs due to the First World War. Joining a Fitzroy side destined to create history by winning the premiership after finishing last on the ladder, Barrett was given his opportunity late in the home-and-away campaign. He made his debut in Round 9 against Richmond and held his spot for the following week's clash with Carlton, booting one goal across his two senior matches. Unable to secure a permanent place in the lineup, he did not feature in the Maroons' subsequent finals charge, leaving his career as a short footnote in one of the league's most remarkable years.
