Bit of Off Season banter here but Shane Yarran who retired from Freo took to Facebook and wrote this about Freo and Nat Fyfe. The journos think ots legit but you be the judge.

I think he needs to learn about spelling and Grammar.

All is not well in Lala  land. The Dorkers are done and dusted for quite some time. Doubt across Lyon has the people skills to pull this rabble together

normal docker's behaviour

nothing to see here

Certainly his account, but maybe not him posting. Although you'd think if it wasn't him there'd be a strong denial.

Hard to read much in to the drug stuff. That's not really anything we don't know about AFL footballers.

The Fyfe stuff was the most shocking to me. Certainly there's always been rumours he isn't well liked by a lot of his team mates but this is pretty vicious treatment, you'd have to really dislike someone to write this about them.

That's pretty intense!

That was written by a very troubled person who needs help.  He is carrying around a lot of hatred and bitterness and this is coming out in his assaults and other incidents in his private life.  

Interesting the resentment at some clubs about players who set themselves high standards, some thing has happened to others such as Rockliff.  In the past you would work to match them, it seems to today they resent them when they work so hard to succeed. 

Written by a man on assult charges. Perth must be some place...

You'd have to think he wrote that with a bottle of jack Daniels in hand, vindictive. And Freo gave him his shot at AFL after jail time.......sour grapes from a troubled mind.

I'm sure that'd sort him out no doubt. Maybe a couple of years at Melbourne Grammar.

It has pockets of excellence, SWYL.

I'm in one of them of course.

Anyway, that rant is loaded with gold. ?

Agree in general but I doubt anyone would be hating Rockliff for his purity as a 'virgin dog'.

Also 'ratf...er', which is confusing. Can a dog still count as virgin if it is f...ing rats?

This is not an edifying moment for anyone involved. I do wonder how the $1.7m man will handle it?

Ross Lyon picks his best 22, doesn't vary it too much, but gets the most out of them. The problem is, those outside the 22 simply don't improve under a RL coaching regime.

He is not very good at managing the entire playing group. He is the antithesis of a list manager.

He said a swear.

Either is he good at managing his assistant coaches too is what i heard.

Well, after reading the FB posts I must conclude that he is certainly no gentleman!!!

Poor guy. I hope he is OK.

Life can go off the rails pretty quickly for a lot of people.

He needs a good support network around him. An AFL club environment would be a pressure cooker for many people.

Given the chance of a lifetime to play AFL at the top level, continues to screw up with two assault charges pending, [censored] on the club and all of the players accusing them all of being on drugs and, if I read it right, wants Fyfe to 'die a slow painful death'. The icing on the cake is the complete lack of punctuation. I find it hard to have any sympathy.

But it's someone else's fault didn't you know...

and if not someone else, then it is society's fault, so we are all to blame

He raised some good points.

They are totally divided,which is nice.

I hope Freo do the right thing and support him through this tough time. With the right guidance, they might be able to cajole him out of retirement.
