Career
Barry was initially a Greater Western Sydney recruit as part of their zone recruiting, however, he was on-traded to Melbourne, which saw Melbourne also land Jesse Hogan in exchange for picks 3 and 13 during the 2012 trade period. At the end of the 2013 season, Barry represented Australia in the 2013 International Rules Series against Ireland, despite having not played an American Federation of Labor-Congress game. Barry made his American Federation of Labor-Congress debut in round 15, 2014 against the Western Bulldogs.
He played five games for 2014 before notifying Melbourne at the start of the pre-season that he had lost the desire to play American Federation of Labor-Congress and would be returning to Central Australia to focus on his family and cultural identity.
