A more accurate headline would be:

Commetti believing wrong newspaper.

So Cometti reads an article in the west, which does not directly quote Anthony and then responds to it by writing an article in the west. Great to see the west making up news, when there isn't any.

I was very surprised to read in The West Australian last Friday of Morabito's impatience and frustration at not being selected for the Dockers.

True and surprised that he put so much stock in an "its understood" story.

On Cometti himself, after all those years of being clearly the best caller, I went off him in a big way, felt he was very snide in relation to Freo especially. However, I think I am back on, I really enjoy his call of a game again but maybe that is just a reflection of the very poor quality of today's callers and especially Bruuuuce who is now just a sad reflection of his glory days. Basil Zemp also still makes me laugh in the way that he impersonates everything Dennis does, be original Bas!

Dermott Breton in the game against Brisbane was great, kept the other guys in line.

The probably just couldn't get a word in amongst him recounting stories of his old training sessions.

Shaw was suggesting some absolutely ridiculous rule changes, Derm may be a thug but he's not as thick as that brick.

Lyon: Morabito no closer

Thanks for the link. Sounds like Ross is sick of being asked the question. Was quite deadpan and dismissive when asked.

Bit of journalistic license on the headline I thought.

Watched Morra train today and his kicking was in the top couple of players training. He is absolutely ready to play it's just who to drop from a winning side.

Unless a player is down on form it may not happen.

I hope he gets a game soon. It would be a shame if we had 2x Peel club champs playing for Melbourne next season.

Ya'd have to be a pretty poor human being to consider leaving a club that kept the faith after 3 knee's.

Just bit of tongue in cheek banter, mate.

He can't be far off. I'm sure the player group are fully aware that the club want him playing for Freo not Peel.

freo_baby · Jun 24, 2014

Still trying to figure who to drop for him. As usual its good problem to have. I reckon Walters could be in the team before we see Mora.

Wee Jessies · Jun 25, 2014

He'll get a run after the derby.

I don't get this mentality Mora owes Freo nothing, he has had a freakish run of injury and if he feels he needs a fresh start or can see a better future elsewhere good luck to him. Who is to say it wasn't Freos fault his first surgery didn't take. That said i am a massive fan and I would love to see him play 200 games for the club and will shed many a tear when he runs out.

Spurr didn't train and was subbed out could have a niggle. Duffield and Clancee can cover Spurrs role. We will rotate players after the Derby if we get a win. Tough run home and then finals he will get his chance over the next few weeks IMO.

Gary Ablett jnr. owed the cats nothing.

Buddy owed the hawks nothing.

I reckon a 20 game in 4 years, 3x knee reco 23 year old owes the club who kept him on a list that long everything. (Figures guesstimated)

Freo could have delisted him after his 2nd reco and not one head would have turned. I would go so far as to say they logically should have after his 3rd, but still they didn't. Do you think he'd have got another chance somewhere else if they did?

I think without Freo he would not be on an AFL list and therefore owes everything to the club. If he left I would deadset hope his knee goes before his first game back such would be the level of filth I would feel towards him.

What a ****ed thin to say.

Reginald Perrin · Jun 25, 2014

Yeah, eddy2918 . I've noticed since you've joined a few posts of yours that are borderline, but that last line is completely out of order.

No joke. No exaggeration. Would have no respect whatsoever for anyone that left because they didn't get a game in a grand final side after 3 knee reco's and several years out.

BananaOnTheRun · Jun 25, 2014

I don't think he owes the club anything. We may have kept him on the list but he's worked his arse off. He's done his job as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with this, but the injury part, that's dog.

eddy2918 · Jun 25, 2014

Fine I concede. I don't take pleasure in anyone's injury or wish it on them. But the irony would make my day, alright. Apologies all around, especially to the man himself who I am sure will not leave anyway.
