Tommy Sheridan has started up a sunglasses business called 'Rixx eyewear'.

He has most of our players posting pictures on Instagram and Twitter while wearing Rixx glasses.

Tommy Sheridan has started up a sunglasses business called 'Rixx eyewear'.

He has given most of our players free Rixx glasses so they can give him free advertising by posting pictures on Instagram and Twitter whilst wearing them.

Fixed it for you

Ross' lesson learned from America: endear yourself to the playing group by slumming it with a fringe player - appear friendly and approachable to win over the middle classes. Well played Ross, well played indeed sir

Copy Hawthorn in 2016, Copy Bevo and Bulldogs in 2017.

Your "fringe" player will probably play every game next year.

I thought the article went fairly easy on us. Didn't repeat the vulgar or drug related parts of the facebook post and the tone of the article was that Freo had done the right thing by Yarran.

Maybe they're just waiting on confirmation that it was Yarran's own words before they get the knives out.

Seriously though, we had such a shit 2016 season. We finish with the tinniest ray of light winning Pav's last game. We build on that with a killer trade/draft period...... and then it's just turns to shit, and keeps getting shit-er.

Agree totally. Just from a media POV, this has been a nightmare for us. It takes very little for the media to create narratives and labels. All the positive work the Freo publicity guys have done has essentially been napalmed at the worst possible time.

The brilliant Shane Mcguinness begrudgingly wouldn't mind seeing Freo win the flag.

So according to the club Shane Yarran has texted a club official and stated he does not have a facebook account.

Interesting. He definitely does. Balic definitely wouldn't be posting on a fake account.

Club trying sweep this under the rug?

Def odd that fake stuff is coming out on SHill's and a couple West Coast profile's as well. Not sure if they were hacked or its just photoshopped.

FREMANTLE has been unable to speak directly to Shane Yarran, but the recently retired Docker has told the club an expletive-laden rant which appeared on Facebook under his name did not come from him.

I thought it could be fake until I saw that Balic had commented on one of his pictures also

"Despite numerous attempts the club has not be able to talk directly to Shane Yarran regarding posts made from a social media account in his name," a club spokesman said.

"However, last night Shane advised a club official via SMS that he did not have a Facebook account.

"The account from which the posts were made has now been deactivated."

Reading between the lines - Shane gets pissed, writes barely intelligible rant, wakes up and has 400 missed calls from the club and others, realises what he's done, deactivates the account, sends a text message to the club and turns his phone off.

My source at the club just sent me the text Shane sent the club.

"Dogs told ya call me not, not me bro no facebok ps fyfe virgin dog"

Or the club and Shane are telling the truth.

Is there anything in the posts that actually says "insider" and not just "troll rolling out anti-Freo cliches"?

I think you make a good point. Fyfe a virgin - I don't think so. "Fakiest club"? Who other than a semi-illiterate teenager would write that?

IF it wasn't Yarran (and that's an unknown), then this wouldn't be a bad way for a family member to stitch him up would it? He has an assault charge pending against a family member so there could easily be someone who was close to him who wants some payback.

In a sense it doesn't matter - he won't be coming back to FFC and if he did write it then it's no more than a (probably drunken) rant.
