Shane Yarran goes whack at Fremantle

Recommended Posts

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.

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 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.

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?

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

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.

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...

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
