Shoulder chip...... get over it

Unka2 you can stick up for your Geelong mate as much as you like. However, the facts are the facts. Of the 8 clubs' coaches and captains interviewed in the lead-up to the finals last year which club's coach and captain did G Whateley not interview?

OMG no. How bad is that?? Dont care who Whately supports to be honest. I think you represent the section of the WA public, who suffer from what could be called short mans syndrome. Ohh and just to put the shoe on the other foot, i remember when ted Whitten passed away, and ALL other teams played in a black arm band as a mark of respect, alas not the Eags, cos Guy Mc kenna said he wasnt a legend in WA football.

When Toddy, J.Sheedy or Steve Marsh etc pass do you think Vic clubs will wear black arm bands for him??? No they wont

Well i will put it simply for you.... reckon ALL footy fans had heard of Whitten, reckon about 20% ( max ) would have heard of the people you mentioned, maybe Todd more cos he coached a team in the PREMIER competition in Australia. As i say 80% plus of people knew VFL, that leaves 20% who had a GOOD knowledge of wa/sa footy. Bit like all business its the 80/20 principal.

Ok then with that analogy of the VFL being the PREMIER league you probably don't think Barry Cables record as playing more games than any other indigenous player stacks up then against the so called "record" from Adam Goodes??

They rave on about Whitten but the only footage you ever see of him is when he has belted someone, was he overrated or what? I think the reputation that precedes him might be an embellishment

Fox can do both, ABC cant....that's the point, ABC have made a choice and run a lame ass sports show like offsiders.

What about the guaranteed 8 Fitzroy players that had to go Brisbane as part of the deal, and what about the 3 Fitzroy Reps that had to be on the new board of the Brisbane Lions???

Where did I say the players never worked hard,?? but if you honestly think the Brisbane Lions project would of ever of even got off the ground with the dire state the Bears and Lions were in on and off the field without huge help from the AFL your deluded...

You just repeated what I told you, plus added it little bit
