Haha Scott Watters is hardly in a position to criticise anyone. A failed coach who was despised by the players at St Kilda.

Some might say that as a coach he fell short...

"Hardie also discussed his phone call from a “very angry” Lyon.
“The call didn’t last that long,” he recalled.
“It was laden with expletives from his end and in the end I returned fire and we obviously agreed to disagree in the end, so we’re all big boys and we all keep going.
“I don’t lose any sleep or get intimidated by anybody like Ross Lyon, for sure.”"

Bahaha

 

[Lach72]

Can just imagine it:

"Luk! Get me the number for that fat ranga campaigner!"

 

[ChimpaWompa]

think Hardie's found himself in the "Gerard Whateley" basket

 

[scon]

Cray bait.

 

[M_rash]

I like how his source was a talkback caller confirming a rumour he had heard weeks prior. Elite preparation as a journalist!

 

[wild side]

That belvedere is someone close to Langdon, Vlahos whoever.
He's there to provide scuttlebutt etc.
Its how those places stay in the game

Tbh, it's not like he can do anything other than stick fat to his story now. The end result is he's either right or a dickhead.

"Belvedere from Belmont" used to ring in every Monday night following on from the coaches interviews. Belvedere was a member of the Royal Fremantle Golf Club and used to play golf with some "football insiders" according to him.

Every Monday he would call in with his rumor of the week, which was scuttlebutt from the golf course.

Some of his gems include,

"Brendon Goddard is coming to Fremantle as he has just joined the Royal Fremantle Golf Club."

"Kevin Sheedy will be coaching Fremantle next year as he has just bought a house on Burke Drive in Attadale and his sons have been enrolled at Aquinas College."

"Cale Hooker is coming to Fremantle on a 3 year deal."

"Nat Fyfe will never captain Fremantle as the players all hate him."

"Nat Fyfe has toured Carlton's training facilities and was picked up at the airport and driven there by Steven Silvagni."

"David Mundy has requested a trade back to Melbourne."

"Matthew Pavlich has signed a huge deal with Channel 7"

"Harley Bennell will never-ever play a game for Peel, let alone Fremantle. He's finished as a footballer"

"Ed Langdon is heading to Collingwood at the end of the year as he wants to play with his brother. Alex Fasolo will be coming to Fremantle in return."

"Sandilands is heading to the Gold Coast on a 4 year deal."

 

[Midnite65]

So I go into the Perthnow website and we have 1 or 2 articles undermining our coach my making up a rumour about him leaving to coach somewhere else and then an article about Mundy possibly retiring (3 negative articles in total) and then lo and behold ......"Eagles can beat AFL's bests:Shuey", did they not have another story about Naitanui to run?

 

[Tonga Bob]

WTF?

 

[Unique Name]

Lol

 

[Big Animal]

WTF?

If I was living the Pacific life in somewhere like Tahiti or Bora Bora, I also would not concern myself too much with specific details. Aboriginal/Irish guru, Western Bulldogs/Freo, Blue/Purple, mehh. close enough

Article by Michael Barlow on Matt de Boer ahead of his 150th. Unfortunately looks like we let a real club leader go at the end of last year.

[scon]

Mate just rang to say Hardie is frothing like a loon about Ross and the nasty unfair Universe on the world's worst radio station.
Couldn't bring myself to listen but making a fool of himself again apparently.
Ross did give him a little rib tickler in today's presser....poor petal might burst a few more facial capillaries.

 

[wild side]

Called him a liar in today's presser.
Also had a funny shot at some journo's being his favourites, but none of them were at the presser. Haha!!

I'd like to call it a thinly veiled advertisement but it's just blatant.

Yeah. Thought that too. Didn't even try to hide it. Surprised he didn't include a price list at the bottom of the advert..... I mean article.

Surprised Tom Sheridan can write

(it wasn't very well written)

 

[scon]

Didn't bother reading it.
Liked Ross saying Hardie's" 'third person' was a unicorn that didn't exist."
He's really taken exception to the red faced ranga.

 

[DaveLister]

he did note the price range of his 'highest quality sunglasses'
