While he was in Melbourne in 1933, West Albury changed its name to the Albury Football Club [3] and Barnett returned to play with the Albury and took over from Cleaver Bunton[4] as captain-coach for the final few games in 1934.[5]

Barnett won the Ovens & Murray Football League's best and fairest award, the Morris Medal in 1935.[6]
