It's been a strange week.

The Perth media would swear blind (obviously it's a Monday morning so they'd probably only swear tanked at this stage) that they could tell you what Heath Black had had for breakfast, where Shaun McManus buys his underpants and, last year, the inner most thoughts of Matthew Pavlich and his future contracts. Yet they didn't get a sniff that Pavlich might not play on Sunday. I would have thought that was their job but I'm obviously wrong because this morning we get to find out what everyone can pretty much work out - McManus will retire this year at some point.

Fair enough though, if you can fins an easy way to do your job then why not take it.

Which brings me around to the Eagles and their cone of silence.

They won't say what they're doing with Daniel Kerr's punishment, they hold closed training sessions on Monday and Tuesday nights and now they've signed up Lynch and Rosa (God knows why) but they won't say how long for. And when I visited their website, the only thing that loaded up was an ad for something called Eagle Eye. Should I be afraid?

Now I realise that the Eagles form has dropped because of AFL sanctions sapping their confidence (I know because the radio told me) but is there any chance that someone in the free press might put this mob under some degree of scrutiny?

You know, like the do with everyone else.

the pavlich thing was odd and with so much money riding on his taped shoulders there should be an investigation into when and if freo knew he was out. now before people start with "but we won anyway" do you think freo would have been $2.30 with pav out in pre game betting? i was filthy (literally as well as metaphorically as the wife had me planting trees in the rain) when i heard as i had a multi bet with the eagles (dirty, dirty money) dockers and the mighty blues. i'm naming my next child fev by the way.

You're a brave man lemon.
Or psychic.

I heard the budgies had re-signed Rosa and Fugly. I just couldn't work out why it was considered news worthy.

I suppose the resignings were considered newsworthy because the articles they had prewritten about Freo losing had to be thrown in the bin.

It obvious that they wouldn't be able to find a story in a library and had to look to the scum for more soft puff.

And..... by keeping Fugly on the books they keep their lead in the AFL's ugliest footballer comp.

19 goals in 17 games @ full forward,

and he gets a new contract, tell me they are not tanking for next year also?????

The heaviest sanction that Eyebrows gave the MUTR ...re-sign Lynch

Not casting any aspersions on the character of any future progeny Lemon, but "Fevola Foley" is a name tailor made for a career in cheap, exploitative bongo flicks.
