Am I the only one here who gets completely nauseated by Gossage & Reid?
They both claim to be fans of Melbourne based clubs, yet they are both absolute sycophants of the Egirls? To top it off Gossage starts tonight's Ch10 sports broadcast in his navy suit & gold tie, along with his blue & yellow scarf.
He might as well be their number one ticket holder.

Totally agree. They are both part of the irritating journalists left over from the early 1990s and they are nostalgic for the good old days when they were in their late 20s/early 30s and the eagles were the only team In town. Gossage used to play in a basketball team with some of the eagles players in the 1990s.

At the end of 2013 I was at a club function at Subi where Gossage was the MC. He repeatedly referred to Freo as 'our club' I was stunned then and still can't believe the hypocrisy:rolleyes:
 
Dunno how the sprinter is selected but one year we nominated Haselby... clearly speed off the mark ain’t got a thing to do with it.








I think the third Q started 15 minutes late

Probably because he was openly tipping the Pies yesterday...lol

This caused a massive uproar with Eagles supporters when he said that he would be supporting the Pies over the Eagles.

Simon Beaumont on 882 kept running a sound bite of him saying it on Sunday and then called him "Un-Western Australian."

Then once a caller rang in and reminded him that Naitanui said that he was barracking for Hawthorn before the 2013 Grand Final, he finally shut up.

I think a lot of the comments in the media re Fyfe are "tongue in cheek" type stuff. Being an Eagles supporter wouldn't expect Fyfe to say anything else - in truth he probably couldn't have cared less about either side in the GF! Wouldn't get too sensitive about what the media have to say.
 
You have to laugh at Hardie (and WA media in general) jumping on the throw away Jay clark line of Eagles will look at Hogan but then no one offering a way for them to possibly get him.

They have no picks. They’d need to give up a very good player plus picks to get him across.

They will get end of first round pick(s) for Gaff/Lycett should they leave but I would suspect they are far from high enough to satisfy Melbourne. Plus, I can't imagine Melbourne, after just losing a preliminary final to WC, would actually want to make their team stronger. Freo on the other hand are not contending and would not be seen as a similar threat. The pick 5/6 would be the selling point that gets that deal over the line, if it ever happens (which I still doubt after many years of false hope).

Just read Hardies spiel on Perth Now just then, why he implies he knows what’s going on at Freo astounds me. He has no idea. And he says lachies good as gone. Please spare me your crap Brad.

I suspect Hogan is only really keen on a Freo anyways, but you make a good point. Melbourne wouldn’t want to make the reigning premiers stronger.

As Gaff was originally a Melbourne supporter it was said I think on the context that should Gaff decide to return to Melbourne that it could be a straight swap, but bare in mind this is coming from the media and not WCE Club, so wouldn't take too much notice - they are all blowing hot air at the moment!

Melbourne footy manager basically said he'd been told that gaff wasn't coming to the demons. I reckon he stays at WC.

Been said Hogan was a Freo supporter too. Who knows but.

this crossed my mind. However, from what has been said, both Gaff and Hogan appear to be looking for similar $$. If Melbourne can't front up the cash to keep Hogan with what he wants (going by the many comments on their board), not sure why they would have that money available for Gaff, or the need at that cost, particularly with the strength of the young midfield there already.

Brad Hardy is trying not to get egg on his face after he declared publicly that "No-one wants to come to Fremantle, they only want to go the Eagles and this is why Fremantle can't land a big fish". He needs Jesse to go to the Eagles or stay with Melbourne in order to save face.
