Edmund just linked Peter Bell as CEO.


I just can't see him leaving WA.

Me either

But maybe a decent wage, Chance to work with Clarko and to help the club he won a premiership with could do it ?

Any possibility of the Arden St KFC franchise being used as bait?

I love Bell. Loved him as a player and think what he’s done at Freo the last few years has been magnificent.

Playing devils advocate though, is this another case of promoting someone to a role that they’re not necessarily ready/qualified for?

I suppose if Amarfio stays on and controls the commercials whilst Bell does the footy stuff, it could work.

Leigh Matthews. What a bitter old Coote with an axe to grind. It’s was bleeding obvious when he kept throwing barbs at Sonja (only to be sat squarely in his arse) on 3aw. Can only imagine he’s a bit salty about Carey being the best player of all time, relegating poor old leigh to second fiddle, or that our club dares to challenge the old boys club and media mafia status quo.
Never forget this is the thug who assaulted Bruns and had to go to court for it. Should’ve been deregistered. Instead we’re stuck with yet another had been prick who is surrounded by enablers with very short memories.

And worth remembering he is still on the board at Brisbane so take into consideration vested interests and all.... Leigh Matthews

That would be a huge get!

One of the paparazzi got a pic of Bell meeting with Sonja, Clarko, Patch and Boomer.

Would love Peter Bell back at the club but can't imagine it happening. He clearly loves Freo and his relationship with North Melbourne is complicated. Thanks Greg Miller.

Sounded more like North have just asked if he’d be keen. He’s got young kids in school in WA so it’d be a big move for him.

Yeah The 5-minute Fireman has just reported we’re playing home games on Pandora as of 2024.

The big question is, I hope we have a decent CHB by then who can nulify this bloke..

Miller very lucky to get votes in that game.

I thought he was pretty well held for most of the game and only got into the game after it was done and dusted.

This is the story as best as I can recall. It was the year 2000, and Peter Bell was coming off an All Australian season (and went close to a Norm Smith Medal in the grand final win). He was having an even better season in 2000 and went on the win the Syd Barker Medal that year. But he was playing uncontracted. He and his fiance wanted to buy a house but his bank wouldn't give him a mortgage without a contract. So he went to the club and asked for a contract on the same terms that he was being paid. The club (Greg Miller) dragged its heels. As the season dragged on, the situation for Bell changed as his fiance's father became terminally ill. There was strong pressure from the family to move home (Perth). West Coast and Freo somehow heard about the situation and started circling. Offers came in. Bell is a really loyal bloke and he felt he owed Denis Pagan so he went back to Miller and begged him to put him under contract. Miller low-balled him. Meanwhile, the WA clubs were outbidding each with what Bell describes as ridiculous money. He agreed to terms with Freo. Finally, Miller came to see that he was about to lose a valuable player and so he offered to match the Freo offer. Remember, Bell was prepared to sign for way less money just months earlier. Bell was so pissed off by this stage that no amount of money was going to convince him to stay, and so off he went. Miller then sent an email out to all the members explaining his side of the story and describing Bell as greedy. Bell has never forgiven him for that.

Tagged by Taylor and was ineffectual.
Dew 100% looking after his captain here.

Not sure I would have given Witts a vote either. Other than Miller and Witts all the rest look right.

Still had an equal game high 9 clearances (8 of which came in quarters 1-3).

Six goals only gets you 7 votes…..

Still thought he wasn’t deserving of votes.

Good on him for winning the medal, but I would think that 3 voter was Dew and not Patch.
