That's really weird that Whately had to leave for the Ross and Pav interview. I know Whately can be a twat but it's pretty lame.

 

[electricfeel]

Wow, Ross certainly is the boss.

 

[E Shed]

I like Kingy cos he tells me what I want to hear...

listen to this on Audioboo

If it was Ross's intention to create confusion on who is playing where, it's certainly working with the boys from On The Couch.

I love that Jason knows a good key position prospect when he sees one - Alex Pearce!

 

[electricfeel]

LOL channel eagle AGAIN going on about the Hawthorn out of bounds thing from forever ago. Far out. What bloody sooks.

 

[XXRL]

That was gold when Bomber asked why Gerard had to leave for the RTB interview and Robbo said "I was told not to mention it".

Can anyone enlightened me wot the problem is between the two??

 

[Deveraux]

Don't often get the chance to watch 360 but caught it tonight and that piqued my interest as well. Is there history with Gerard and Freo/Ross?

 

[salim malik]

Whately went way over the top with his criticism of Ross and his leaving the Saints for Freo.

 

[mustlovepurple]

i love bomber.

See here for a good explanation of the animosity between Whately and Lyon.

I think slanderous wiuld be the words I'd use. Gerard is lucky Ross didn't take it further.

 

[Randomizor]

I almost forgot how ridiculous the media was about us getting Ross.

If you're not pissing people off, you're probably not doing anything important.

 

[Frank J Moose]

What pissed the media off most was that none of them knew about it first.

 

[Sully90]

Does anyone else remember the first half of season 2012 when things hadn't clicked yet. AFL360 released that ridiculous piece about how all is "not right" at the club with dramatic music and critical sound bites. You haven't seen smug until you;ve seen the look on Whately's face during that segment.

Who called us unwatchable again after the derby? Man, there were so many dicks out there out to get us and they're still out to get us in all honesty.

That stupid bald **** Bartlett.

The Whately thing was most amusing, but of perhaps greater significance was Hogan's performance from a Freo perspective:

• I miss Scarborough beach;
• Melbourne as a club are cool because they let me go to Torquay or home for a few days whenever I feel homesick (to be fair he got there when barely 17);
• I'm not prepared to talk about recommitting to Melbourne at the end of 2017 (in the face of a direct question about staying at the Demons long term);
• I don't have a girlfriend so only had family and club officials at my table at today's RS function (same holds for the Brownlow function);
• We don't have overt conversations among the younger players at Melbourne about committing to one another to create a long term dynasty (when it was suggested that the Bulldogs youngsters are doing that);
• I want to create my own brand;
• I'm a Perth boy and like it laid back;

I'm no doubt reading more into the comments than the reality, but the "gut feel" and underlying tone was encouraging.

He's been talking to Fyfey

 

[The Anchorite]

Amazing that they're still blueing after four years. To his credit, Gerard said he took full responsibility. His sanctimony at the time was unbearable though.

 

[Freo]

Gerard you sook. Too scared to face the music with RTB. Totally insipid.

More like Lyon wont be interviewed by Gerard.

 

[Freo]

More like Lyon wont be interviewed by Gerard.

Can't see Ross ducking Whately somehow.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Anybody got the video of the Ross interview, and Whately scampering away like a rat?

To be fair, that was pretty unwatchable. We were playing some atrocious footy at the time.
