We had Rhett in town last week as guest speaker at the Port Bulldogs Past Player function.
For your info, here are some of his comments.
* The Crows having a 7-5 record had not really hit our straps this season.
* Some other clubs, such as Essendon were eight weeks preparation ahead of last years finalists because they had more time before this season began.
* Former Crows coach Garry Ayres " scared you shitless" with his approach. "When you saw him coming you went the other way"
* Current Adelaide coach Neil Craig had learned from Ayres's mistakes, realising that when talking to the media he was actually speaking to the supporters of the Crows.
* Controversial West Coast star Ben Cousins, who has been dogged by drug issues, had a popular image in Perth that was equivalent to Modra and McLeod rolled into one.
* Darren Jarman was the best player that he had ever seen. " I reckon he is better than Gary Ablett"
* Former Crows player Ronnie Burns was superstitious and, while avoiding stepping on a drain " took out " team-mate Simon Goodwin while leaving the players race.
* Andrew McLeod always ran around the banner while coming onto the ground and always threw up at half time.
* The Adelaide Football Club put tarpaulins over the race when they played Port Power because the Port supporters would spit on the Crows players entering the field.

I found that to be amazing seeing as he has always avoided it before (except for the Indigenous team banner when he was Captain).
