CONNOLLY FUMING AT HARSH LANGUAGE
By Jake Nyall Decongestant (Hun Nose Pictorial) 12/7/2003
Chris Connolly was fuming after today's match against Collingwood, incensed by harsh language dealt out to his tender inexperienced charges by their opponents.
No reports were made from the high pressure game, but intense speculation is brewing about a number of exchanges.
"I don't want to pre-empt the tribunal, but there were some incidents that have to be looked at" railed Connolly. "In the second quarter Jason Cloke called Paul Haselby a "Girl". Ben Johnson and Richie Cole were chanting some song at Jeff farmer, calling him a "scaredy cat from Ballarat". That is so untrue, the boy isn't even from Victoria."
The final straw for the Fremantle coach came when Josh Fraser upbraided ruckman Simmonds as they went to the three quarter time huddle. "He called him a vulgar Cimmerian, a trogladyte with the wits of Polyphemus. Poor Troy didn't understand any of it, but he blubbed anyway".
Earlier in the week declared that Fremantle were the most trash-talked side in the AFL, and had prepared his players to withstand any verbal barrage. "We drilled the boys with all ther tactics. "I know you are but what am I?" and "Sticks and stones..." but it didn't seem to do any good" mused Connolly.
Captain Peter Bell was on the recieving end of a number of taunts including "How's Snow White?" and "Stand up Belly" but he managed to hold his nerve until the final term, when his bottom lip began to tremble uncontrollably.
Fremantle officials were fuming about an incident in the first quarter which saw Medhurst rushed to St Vincents hospital after he game to have his mouth washed out with soap and water. Sources preffered not to be quoted officially pending investigation, but it appears Brodie Holland approached the younger player before the first bounce, and feigning friendship, taught him a number of four letter words. "None of us realised what he was saying, he often mutters to himself, but when we got into the showers after the match he let rip with a blue streak. We can't accept this sort of thing is part of modern footy" wailed ther purple faced official.
Mick Malthouse was unfazed at the uproar. "What ****, **** me dead, Connolly is a ******* little **** and his mum ******** a **** ****. Thanks Christi".
