    Are we certain there's just smoke and no fire?

      Of course not but the smoke shouldn't be started by a player manager.

        I recall when Ricky Olarenshaw was boundary riding for channel 7, the bulldogs had just won and he interviewed Adam Cooney after the game. At the time I couldn't help but think that he clearly wasn't the best or most influential player on the field and it was obvious for anyone who knew that he was simply interviewing his 'own' player for alterior motives. A perfect example of a player manager / media personality being compromised.

          Yeah that Leon Pickering drives me bonkers. His brother Liam is even worse.

          Sorry, I'm being facetious. But everything you said, barring his first name, is correct.



          If you listen to SEN, Liam is regularly referred to as Leon.
          It is a running joke.

          Like Finey being referred to as "Viney", which he now ignores.

          Olarenshaw manages one Richmond player, Daniel Jackson. How good is his relationship likely to be with Ben right now?

            Hmmm I have noticed that and didn't consider it. I may have double smartarsed myself!

              Awesome term. Sounds a bit "Roy and HG"-ish... "Oh look HG, he's just double-smartarsed himself"!!!!

                I'm sure this is a gymnastic move.

                  Quite possible Ricky was trying to prevent this.

                    Cousins among four suspended by Tigers

                    FOUR Richmond players, including star Ben Cousins, have been suspended for inappropriate behaviour after a club investigation into a late-night incident in a Sydney hotel on Saturday night.

                    Geez, they are going great aren't they. 4 more experienced players missing this weeks (now un-winnable?) game vs Melbourne. They are becoming the Carlton of 2010

                      Round 4 is pretty early for a team to start tanking.

                      Jokes aside, smart move by Hardwick and the Tigers. Wield a big stick and weed out the cancers. Will take time but needs to be done.

                        I understand Conners did the full monty version of Alfie Langer's tabletop dance.

                          Greart leadership shown by Cousins to punch a drunken teammate.

                            Poor decision but by all accounts Conners had to be quietened down somehow.
                            If he's been suspended for 8 weeks the club mustn't be happy with him either.

                              Quietened somehow? I know, how about getting him in a headlock and dragging him to his room? Or better still ringing the coach to speak to Connors?

                                Cousins punched Conners? I heard it was the other way around.

                                Funny either way really.
