After his hit-piece on Pav I might have accused Brendan Foster of being a Mickey Mouse reporter, but he's got a real scoop here.
I'm with GS. Why would the mascot bloke cop to this? It's mascot career suicide. No mascot has shins tough enough to endure the shin-kicking this bloke is going to cop.
It reminds me of the family of four that has the unfortunate luck in life to sit in front of me at Subi. For years the Mum, Dad, son and daughter would turn up to games, we'd have a chat, they'd laugh at my hilarious banter*, and all was good in the world. Then, last Derby, the Mum and daughter turned up in Eagles gear.
I'm not going to lie, I felt betrayed. Now it's just awkward. Sure, I'll still talk to the Dad and son, and the daughter is too young to understand her sin, but it's all I can do to not give the Mum icy glares.
I always knew there was something off about Johnny Doc, or whatever his name is. I assumed it was because he was a soulless focus-group inspired idiot that had nothing to do with Freo - a Poochie the Rockin' Dog of our times - but turns out that he is actually an Eagles fan, which is worse.
And if we are going to have an Eagles fan dressed up like an idiot and paraded around in front of us to be taunted, why can't it be Rosich?
This is an outrage..
*May be an exaggeration.
