While we're all outraged can I just quickly say I googled the editor and wow he has a weird face
His reasoning was that The West is not an AFL centric paper like the Herald Sun. Rewind 2 weeks and the front page is a closeup of Nic Nat’s ankle spanning the entire page. Seriously, **** this guy.

I just listened to what I could from that, he’s gone right to the top of my serpent rankings.
It is hard to imagine they think that printing the results of their poll of 600 subscribers will influence an independent body like ASADA or WADA into agreeing to an overly lenient penalty.
As if Willie isn't a straight-up empty gatorade bottle/garden hose man.
If they are subscriber's 599 would be blue and yellow morons
Very well put, and I hope this saga is the straw that breaks the camels back for all Fremantle fans to cease any subscriptions to their print or online content.

This, but also the fact that attention has been drawn to their biased nature with a hope that it may be the beginning of change from that shitty publication.
We’ve pissed & moaned long enough on here, but it was great to see mum & dad supporters get stuck into them along with the odd WC fan supporting the bias claim.
Surely the powers at Seven West media can see with the amount of vitriol towards the paper that there is a problem & an instruct the tossers to change their ways.
I won’t hold my breath, but it’s been a good 24 hours to be a Freo member.
Wasn't it great to hear Freo supporters being brave enough to criticise the media! Awesome show. Have to give 6PR some credit for their afternoon show.
The editor was infuriating.
Why do you need a bong if you already have the gatorade bottle?
Because after pouring out all the Gatorade into the piss cup, a dry bong isn’t good for your lungs

You are either a Dockers supporter or a Worst Australian subscriber. You cannot have it both ways. Which are you?

can we talk about what a ****ing prick the editor is for a second???
He seemed so happy that he had been invited to radio, like he went "oh how exciting look at this exposure i'm becoming a household name" and completely overlooked the whole reason he was put on there was to answer questions about how putrid his paper is and how moronic of a person he is

I just can't believe the editor got on the radio and felt he needed to justify his position and belligerently consolidated his position by arguing with the the host who was offering an alternative opinion.
He just abandoned the fundamentals of journalism by refusing to consider a different perspective.
What was the harm in him accepting the feedback and giving a token response of 'We'll do better next time'? (despite us all knowing it was done out of purely nefarious objectives), but instead we heard this bizarre ego play from a bloke that looks like an Easter Island Moai head.

Because in today's world we can't take responsibility for our own actions and have to try and find every loophole around it that we can.
This is why more and more people get their news from independent sources.
The West Cover with Rioli was fake news. Agenda driven nonsense that does no favours for Rioli. I suppose as an principal club sponsor of West Coast they have to produce nonsensical fluff pieces.
Listening to that interview the chief editor is as slippery as a politician dodging answers from simple questions. "let me make this perfectly clear..." - typical politician/bureaucrat tactic.
The fact that the Melbourne Press and The Australian payed due respect to Fyfe over the West speaks of the absolute state The West Australian finds itself in as a paying sponsor of West Coast but somehow trying to present balanced reporting of both WA based AFL clubs.
If it was a Fremantle player who was in Rioli's shoes and a West Coast player who won the Brownlow would've the same front page layout occured?
...and finally - I don't think Rioli's story is the biggest story in Western Australia currently going.

So true. Deny, lie, deny, lie some more and just keep denying. Sad but our top politicians are leading the way unfortunately.
