BARRETT: Ross Lyon fighting for his footy life

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-18/barrett-history-says-ross-wont-change-his-spots

What a BS article. Hasn't Ballas already come out and said he doesn't want out? I haven't seen anything that says Barlow wants out. Harris going was always planned.

This shit pisses me off. We had a presentation from one of the guys from Leading Teams and he said that the thing Swans and Hawks had was the no BS culture. Demanding leadership, from every level. If someone sees you shirking on the field you told that person. Didn't matter if you were a rookie telling the captain, everyone in the team accepted that feedback and worked on it.

Someone asked how the Dockers were in that regard and the reply was they are getting there.

Really annoys me when they are now criticising our demanding coach, when it is this that wins you premierships

what a lowly pustule of a man. Was singing his praises earlier in the year.

Great article. Agree with most of it.

Finally a Fyfe article that has had some realm of thought put into it.

This is why I like Duffield. Never soft and gives the club a decent slap but there is always some decent thought going into the story and not just made up gossip (listening Hackface).

Na clearly Fyfe is lying, and all the journos know the truth.
But seriously, even after this I can't see the media leeches changing there tunes. They all have agendas

 

[Purple dynamite]

Fyfe speculation is classic click bait!

Karl Langdon says Nat Fyfe isn't popular at Fremantle, 'won't be surprised' if he leaves

Wouldn't be surprised if Luke is a little more careful with what he says to Karl going forward given his comments about Fyfe being an individual that views himself as a business are referred to in the same interview as Karl's comments later on claiming that he's been told that Fyfe is not really well liked amongst his teammates. In the current climate, the media likes to connect dots unreasonably and lay the boots in.

Fyfe is news. And it doesn't really matter if that news has any basis in fact. Say/write "Fyfe"; get click. Say "Fyfe contract/unpopular/unhappy/had haircut" get many clicks.

 

[Scham]

Adam McGrath on SportFM just said that 2 people from within the club have told him that there are a lot of people at the club that don't like Fyfe and the way he treats others and they want him to go.

I say these two f***** loose lip c**** should be found and sacked on the spot!

We can blame the media all we like but if this is true, we're leaking like a sieve and the media wouldn't have anything to go on if we did what we're supposed to do and deal with everything in house!

McGrath is also a WC sycophant despite his uncle owning Instant Windscreens and being a Freo sponsor. He also had a go at McCarthy as having perceived homesickness this morning and when reminded by a caller that Yeo came back because of the same reason poo pooed it and said Yeo came back for more opportunity's to play. There are to many WC supporters in the media for Freo to get a fair go.

Blame the media all we like because this isn't true. Sumich is leaking like a sieve, and most of what he is saying is bullshit, or viewed through the lens of a lazy, offended ex employee, but that cancer has been cut out. Until he got fired, we had an enviable reputation of keeping things in house. The media is making the most of it.

And honestly, I find it pretty hard to believe that two professional sportsmen would go to a no-name radio presenter to tell him that someone in the club isn't liked in the complete off-chance that it gets that person traded.
It just doesn't make sense.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Adam McGrath (and Wayne Clark) had no idea who Harley Balic was when a caller brought his name up on Monday.. his knowledge of the club is pretty limited IMO Most of the time he just sprouts general uneducated group-speak on most Freo issues and passes it off as his own opinion

To be fair he said two people at the club not two players. It could be physios or trainers or anyone really. Not that I believe it.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere - apologies if it has.

I listed to Episode 4 of Michael Barlow's podcast, Out of Bounds, last night. He spent 30 minutes with Dennis Commetti and it was a fantastic listen.

Would recommend to all Freo fans and football fans generally:

What a joke, Yeo only missed 4 games from the time he made his debut at Brisbane to the time he left. What a joke, as if that isn't enough opportunity!

McGrath is John Mcgraths son the lib pollie and ex sports minister.

John McGrath wrote a very syruppy sweet article about Ben Cousins, just when the manure began flying towards the fan. Was widely criticized as being a very puff piece, not addressing the subject in an objective manner.
