And people wonder why I have a chip on my shoulder about the media bias against the Fremantle Dockers.

Craig O’Donoghue take a bow. You have just taken out the “Markedly award from shrimp most needing to be BBQ’ed”. His ‘journalism’ in the Age Newspaper is clearly the result of too much cheap chardonny and a free set of windscreen wipers from John Worsfold. Read this line from his article and let it sink in for a moment……

“The Dockers were clearly the worst behaved team in the AFL last year “

Now if you were an illegal alien having just arrived from Botswania I could understand you saying this, if you just read one copy of “The West Australian” last February when Farmer did the wrong thing, and Michael Johnson did nothing wrong, but both, in true AFL Tribunal fashion, had the book thrown at them.

But Craig, bless his heart of integrity, lives and resides in Western Australia, the home of the West Coast Beagles, friends of various underworld types and who Worsfold admitted had “up to eight players taking illegal drugs”. Thrown in Kerr’s assault charges, Selwoods racist and derrogatory comments, Michael Gardiner getting the boot and Braun’s flatlining in LA…and well, I think his comment is at best ill informed, at worst, typical of the media stupidity we Dockers fans put up with on a daily basis.

Journalism???

By the way, did you know that the rehab clinin Ben Cousins attended in the US is now shut down because of the negative publicity attracted to it by Ben??

I have had some serious pain in my abdomen the past 12 months, which at one point involved a stay at RPH……

Now I have to visit a surgeon this afternoon with the possibility of having my appendix removed. I think doctors are great, but I dislike hospitals when I am the one getting treatment…..Have you seen the coffee they serve there???

If you are the praying type, send up one for me……

You know there is a problem when Woosha goes in denial mode. Kerr has done his hammy, and John Worsfold has said ‘no problem’.

No Judd, no Cousins, now no Kerr…….mmmmmm no problem????

Pretty sad to see Michelle at Heaths funeral today.
Mother of his two year old daughter.
Sad to see his dad, mum and sisters….

Two young to die. Like so many young Australian males of his age, who for whatever reason find their life cut short….

The WA government have once again displayed an extraordinary lack of vision in their announcement today that Kitchener Park will be the sight of the new stadium.
The visionary option was East Perth.

East Perth is at present hosting a deserted electricity factory with beautiful views of our cities best assest, the Swan River. Can you imagine the stunning views as people from all over Australia saw the new stadium with the setting sun and beautiful vista of our river in the background? The train line would have mean easy access for many people, and the Polly Farmer freeway would have provided easy access, with no need to drive past whinging Subiaco residents who have meant that Subiaco can only host limited night games.

What is more residents from 93 houses and units along Subiaco Road will forced to move for the new stadium development, most of them Homeswest tenants. These people were being given a chance to see their children grow up in a safe and advancing suburb, now they have to move to please a money hungry WAFC.

This is a stupid short sighted decision.
I suggest you email our Premier.
