While he was in Melbourne in 1933, West Albury changed its name to the Albury Football Club[4] and Barnett returned to play with the Albury and took over from Cleaver Bunton[5] as captain-coach for the final few games in 1934.[6]
Barnett won the Ovens & Murray Football League's best and fairest award, the Morris Medal in 1935.[7]
