Wrinkles in this am's 'Tier writes that he has no problem with us naming our players' race after Geof Motley it is just the way we went about it. "Conversely" the Cows did it properly and naming their race after a club official who never played a single game for them is just perfect.

The "way we went about it"? What does that even mean?

Wrinkles is only ever ready to grudgingly accept something we do when we go into it with much forelock-tugging and allow the cows to do it first so that when we do it he can say we copied them. I despise the man, and I use the word "man" in its broadest sense.

I saw the article and thought the same as others on here. Our race, no one else needs to be involved in that process.

If he believes the Cows have gone through the right process then there is a lot of improvement to be had.

According to Cornes we hadn't even told anyone about it, not even the SANFL or Oval authorities. Two things to say there, it was accepted there would be a race named after someone and why should we bring either of those authorities into that discussion? The SANFL for one can get knotted, they never had any right in any discussions at all, and the oval authority only need to be brought into it once the decision has ben made, after all it is their oval that Geof Motley's name is getting put onto. I don't believe that this was never brought up, rather I expect that when the naming of stands was brought up Motleys' name was mentioned as one that may appear somewhere other than a stand.
Cornes' article nearly makes it sound like Port sneaked in at night to graffiti Motleys' name on a race.

Cornes is just bitter that he hasn't got something named after him. Why don't we give him something? There are plenty of womens' toilets, after all.

If I had a workmate who put Port down at every single opportunity it wouldn't take long before I would cease talking to him or her for good . It's the same with wrinkles and the cowtiser in general, I just stopped any contact with it, apart from what I read here. wrinkles should just get it all off his chest and yell to the skies ' I hate the PAFC because they won the SANFL war and my sons are PAFC legends ' , then he should go to the bay football club, crack a coldie and get on with the rest of his life.
