Barnett played for Endeavour Hills and the Hawthorn Under 19s prior to joining North Melbourne. He had also appeared for Hawthorn in the 1992 Foster's Cup, the league's pre-season competition, when he was only 16.[1] Hawthorn traded Barnett to North Melbourne during the 1993 AFL Draft, in return for the 56th draft pick, which they used on Rayden Tallis.[2]

A forward, he could only manage six appearances in his first two seasons and didn't play any games in 1996.[3] He also failed to have an impact at Collingwood, who had acquired him in a trade.
