  • Feels the AFL commission should intervene with the West Coast situation and punish Cousins
  • Not sure that Cousins deserves to play again, not in the short term at least, as he is affectively a cheat (he didn't say cheat, but he implied it and compared Cousins to a cyclist who gets caught using drugs and is punished with a long suspension).
  • Said Headland's reaction on Sunday (kissing the tattoo), was inciting the fans
  • We got fined $7,500 for the runner getting in the way of Sandilands on Sunday, no explanation or a 'please explain' given either. We've obviously asked why the fine is so heavy, when Braun only got a $5,000 fine for swearing. (My 2 cents worth: What a friggin disgrace, $7,500 for a silly runner mistake. Gees! :rolleyes: )

  • Said he expects Daniher to coach us in 2008, but there will be no contract discussion in the press.
  • Also said Daniher may not necessarily want to coach us next year, as he may want a break (will this be the excuse for a mutual parting?)
  • Wants Neale to be our next premiership coach, and believes we are still in a premiership window. We're capable of winning a flag in the next 18 months according to PG.
Just quietly, I don't think Daniher will coach us next year, but PG is showing public support to try and get the media off our backs.

I'd be very surprised if Neale is still there in 2008.

Good on Paul Gardner, I can just guess what some will think of this. Compare his response to that of Joe Gutnik's when he stormed into the commentary box in 97 at half time against the Saints in Rd six and we were looking at a fifth straight loss.

Hutchy is a rat but at least he asks a few real questions, which is probably why everyone hates him. Remember him ripping into Don Scott a few years back..haha...but anyway

Whilst the interview was positive I can't halp but feel Gardiner is overly optimistic. We are last on the ladder and he says we can win a flag in 18 months. If a president of another club in our position had said that I would laugh. I think that ON OUR DAY AND WITH OUR BEST 22 ALL PLAYING WELL we can win a premiership. But we have no consistency, we have no depth and let's face come season's end when the contenders start to present themselves we start to unravel

sort of a shame he didnt just come out with the you know what ...'Unequivocal support " for the coach !! :-) ..as we all know what happens next!!.

but honestly..wish ND no malice.. hope he continues on a happy road.....maybe as a "rev' he's more suited to elevators going up as opposed to where elevators going down lead !!

Fully agree Graz. Another professional and mature performance by him. Its a far far improvement on Gutnick.

I cannot put in words how much I dislike Craig Hutchison.

I used to love him but now, I couldn't even begin to describe how much of a dirty, sly rat he is.

I completly agree with you. The moment he went to 9 he said on the footy show "they dont have enough cameras and i kinda got sick of their mediaoka footy coverage reports". This may be true but working at a station that has trained u and given u that profile for 7 years...doesent seem fair to slap it back in their face. I hate the guy so much and i seriously hope his career ends due to some unfortunate (forunate for me) mistake

I've no problem with the runner being fined, he interferred with play. That said he ws blindsided and didn't mean it.

If the runner cops a 7 grand fine, then surely the umpire should too. His mistake was worse than the runners, he had a clear view of the incident and was negligent in not paying a free to Freo. If not the umpire, then the AFL, as his employer, should be fined :lol:

If the runner, by being negligent in his duties get fined 7 grand then surely the umpire, who was even more megligent in his duties should have to cough up the same amount.

You are probably right there Rod, but do you want lay odds on that actually happening ;) ?!!!

They did get a free kick. We actually kept playing and kicked a goal that was disallowed and the ball brought back to the centre and Freo got the free kick. They got a goal as a result of that forward entry play!

I thought that decision was for something else - maybe a push in the contest paid against Miller? Not sure.

I really like PG, I like the way he goes about it and I like that he's a bigger picture sort of guy.

That said, his comments about Cousins were way off the mark.

Let's focus on us before we starting worrying about Ben Cousins.

That is exactly the way I was left thinking as well Hards......

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
