I too heard that saga unfold.
I thought Harvs had a fair point, the team had just played out of their skins against a very slick Geelong, down to the wire and could have been the winner. So what sort of questions do you think you'll get?

"pphhheeewww Mark what a game last night eh? Must have been mixed feelngs afer the game?" -- no not that question from Mitchell, it was "so you screwed up in the second quarter, did you screw it up or was it one of your players?"

then next question.. could have been something like "you must have been happy with 211's efforts last night?" - but no.. Mitchell comes out with .. "so your President said you could win a flag.. all that's impossible now! Are you angry with the President?"

and that's the point where Harvs pulled the shutters and thew a serve at Mitchell.. who.. as pointed out by Swan.. cowered in the corner until Harvs was off air before laying out his own serve.

So we need two awards - cowardice in journalism, and ignorance in journalism

Plus the ugliest person in journalism and Mitchell would take all three

I think the side-burns are a nice touch - they scream "coprolith"

The performance on Sat morning on the ABC was a classic, Gwen only wanted to take the lead in the Hackdorn and get in early before Haggers could think up something even more biased.

You could hear Bitchell choking on the foot he had firmly in his mouth. Gwen removed it pretty quickly when he realised that Harvs had made a goose of him and the audience were biting back as well.

The "light hearted" banter later capped it off. Gwen recounted the standard of catering at the various football grounds and how quickly he has to down a plate of lamingtons when he is at Bassendean Oval (I think he mentioned 8 in one sitting), and also where he can find the best hamburger (Bassendean as well).

I think we have a winner - and so early in the season.

As said before - STAY AWAY FROM THE PIE CART!!!!!!

Ellement - I believe that would be what is referred to as the Triple Clown.

I didn't hear the Mitchell interview, but have listened to him a lot in the car when travelling to and from games. He has a definite bias toward the egirls, is arrogant and belittling to anybody who has an opposing opinion to his and is a genuine tool (perhaps his award could be named the Sidchrome, or my latest personal favourite tool, the fubar.)

He had no right to even occupy the same space as Wally Foreman, let alone survive him and take over his mantle.

A few things about Gwen's performance this weekend have really incensed me. First was the comment during the game where he stated that Ryan Crowley had deliberately stomped on the foot of Baby Ablett and it was this kind of treatment that was making the Cat's really angry. Now, I have viewed that piece of footage relating to Bablett's dive quite a few times (mainly because of it's comic appeal) and at no point have I seen any evidence that such an act was committed. To further fuel the fire Bitchell repeated this nonsensical statement on this morning's programme on ABC radio.
If Gwen has proof of his allegation well then let's see it. If not then he owes Ryan Crowley a public apology.

The interview on Saturday morning only confirmed Bitchell's arrogant stupidity. Especially when after the interview he started furiously back-pedalling by saying he wasn't being negative towards the club or Harvey but felt sorry for the guy. Sorry my a***.

Fat, lazy, biased and incompetent. If he can't observe a degree of objectivity in his commetary then he should give up the gig.

I have a different take on it. I usually like Glen. I didn't think he handled Harv's well on Saturday morning, but....

It was a legimate question, which I did not perceive as negative. He asked, why the change in play 10 minutes before the end of the 2nd quarter? Was it planned? Harv's reacted poorly I thought. It was a legimate question, and one I certainly wanted to be asked.

To go on further about what Rick Hart said at the season launch wasn't necessary. How is Harv's supposed to treat that? "Your president said you can make finals - was his comment a mistake?" Surprisingly Harv firstly said he didn't think Rick Hart had repeated exactly those words again, AND sure it placed pressure on everyone, that's why we play. He didn't concede the season, nor would you expect him too.

Freo need to pick their game up with ABC Radio. Too often they have refused to make themselves available, leaving the wild speculations to take the negative path.

....and if Harvey keeps wearing those short skirts he's going to have to get used to the sexual advances.

Rather "Quinella" Mitchell - as I now like to call him, thanks Addicted: (fat, lazy, biased, wing-nutted and incompetent) - needs to pick up his game.

ABC Radio has form here. I won't speak ill of the dead but the braindead get no such slack. For donkeys this contraceptive of a gentleman has begun his calls of a Freo game with the words "Another disappointing crowd in today." What he obviously fails to realise is that after the call there was a disappointed crowd.

Disappointed in the lowering of ABC standards. Disappointed in the laziness attached to setting up Freo and then sinking the slipper over and over again with the same lame complaints. Sure they dig in in less outlandish a fashion than the other buttlicking toadies, but they dig in nonetheless.

A few years back Schwabby got stuck into Wally Foreman and the bloke reacted with all the shock and lack of grace you'd expect from a sideline sniper, finally called to account.

I am hoping Schwabby takes some time out from boxing up the office to give Quinella a little tinkle on the blower.

The heat from his ears will probably get an Al Gore doco made about it.

I blame Geoff.

Liam and Wally had a double act going. Liam was the lounge lizard slipper sinker masquerading as supporter, Wally was just an Eagles man from way back who could never hide the fact.

They justify their lack of objectivity because Freo are losing. Yet I notice when talk turns to Woosha, he's a big man for conceding they won't make the finals, and they allow him the luxury of 'rebuild' mode in his absence. Never mind that the whole cheap suit of WC is falling apart because the only stitches holding it in place was its awesomely awesome midfield of 2.

The new morning presenter is more ABC than Liam-show me the cheque and I'll give you chequebook journalism-Bartlett, and is actually a real supporter to boot.

He needs to stick it in.
