AFL trade whispers headline "Cashed Up Clubs Come For Hartlett" followed by multiple paragraphs quoting Hartlett himself saying he'll stay in ADL and be a one club player.

lowest headline to story content ratio ever

And that's why it deserves a mention in this thread.

Cometti's previously said the only team he actively supports is West Perth (player & coach), with soft spots for the Scray (played reserves) and Freo (loved Clive).

If there's any affection for the Eagles it's as part of a general WAGR8 sentiment.

Dunno about that. My mate who is WA born and bred reckons dennis used to host some eagles shows pre-freo. The very fact his support is debatable is a good sign he has hidden bias well. Unlike some of these modern day *******s.

Bruce Abernethy hosted The Crows Show pre-pear.

The one-team town period was a strange happenstance in the nascent AFL world.

Exactly, it wasn't as if he went all Nick Stevens on us.

This may belong in the unpopular opinions thread but if Shaun wanted back in for one or two years, and he was still capable of playing at his current level, I'd have him back in a heartbeat.
In 2 years we might have a Burgoyne on our list ... Earlier in the year their was an article about Peter's son Trent who at the time was playing really well in the indigenous kick start program

this is what was said:-

SANFL indigenous program co ordinator Shaun Ford believes he has what it takes. "Trent is a very smooth mover and is very similar to the way Peter goes about it ? "I think he will be outstanding when he goes away even against the older boys""In 2 years time he will be something special" Trent will be eligible to be a father/son pick for Port in 2 years

So nothing in today's advertiser about Fages ???????????????
There was a small article buried on page 18 next to the picture of the Royals - William & Harry.. the heading of the article is:- "Fagan's old club in land probe"

Their isn't any mention about how he is the CEO of the crows until the end of the 1st paragraph

Just read the AFL sites article, then clicked on Barrett's twitter link to have a look at what else he's been going on about...

View attachment 177308

Haha don't even know when that happened :confused:
I just checked too. I've never even posted anything on Damian Barrett's Twitter and I'm blocked. What the hell? Maybe he just blanket blocks everyone Jon Ralph blocks. Weird.

Isn't Barrett a Richmond fan? If so, I can understand why he hates Port after last year's final.
Think he is a roos supporter
Yeah he's a Roos supporter but either why it explains why the likes of him & Jon Ralph tend to be overly negative about our club at every opportunity more than any other they report on.

Here's a suburban club with a rich proud history entering the big league & winning a flag without half the concessions the Lions had, they go through a few years of uncertainty involving financial issues & somehow manage to turn it around with a few quality appointments to the board & footy/coaching department.

They've now strengthened a club culture that not only attracts star quality recruits that weren't even born in the state but managing to keep hold of almost every A grade player that is getting pursued from rival clubs offering almost 1/4 more money on longer term lucrative deals.

I can see why our club rustles the Jimmies of a few rivals none more so than our big/little brother the AFC who try their hardest to emulate us whether it be poaching IP, marketing ideas, catch phrases etc. They hate us because they ain't us.
