I'm hoping so, but wasn't one of the first things he did was sign Rillie up for 3 years? That parts a worry

Missed that

Yeah that's not a good sign, will be riots if they let Cotton walk though

Fortunately Arena has deep pockets. He should do the right thing, keep the talent happy fire Rillie and absorb the cost of his contract.

Herald Sun ruminating about Cotton looking to get out of Perth with Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne United lurking.

Delly and Ili would be perfect counterparts, like Damien Martin was.

We've got CG signed til 2027 but they might be thinking Cotton takes his starting spot, CG's 36 tomorrow and slowing down a bit. Essentially Cotton would replace Ian Clark.

Bryce will miss a minimum of 4 weeks with his rib injury. That's a minimum 7 games.

If you haven’t written Perth off yet, now seems like a good time

He would have zero success at Melbourne, average about 5 points a game. Sydney would be his best option.

Tatum also alluded to other coaches getting away with similar conduct and behaviour but as he is talk, has a deep voice and a different colour, it is made an example of.

 

[FreoRicci]

Love it. Love the passion.

Goulding is a ****ing baby. God I dislike the guy. When will the league do something about his spirit to the game? It’s so ugly to see

 

[ManOfClay]

Not sure im a huge fan of the Phoenix owner calling Goulding a flopper.

I mean he is, but owners shouldnt get involved there

I’d rather an owner than this, as I raised earlier

In addition to everything mentioned above, Tatum made a few other comments. The first 5 or 6 minutes of the presser are worth watching in full. Huge fine incoming.

Interestingly Tatum and Vickerman both mentioned the time-out issue, Tatum implied that Vickerman should've been penalised for attempting to take a time-out without having any available (which is the rule). Vickerman thought he had one. Hard to imagine an experienced coach like Vickerman stuffing that up. Did he use all his Time outs or not? I'll be interested to find out.

The entire sequence was shambolic for multiple reasons.
