The article mentioned that Archie was on GC17's list for potential CEOs together with others including the CEO of the GCCC who would be the favourite because of his local knowledge. I think this was reported some months ago (Hutchy's proberbly short of news items to stir about) and Archie stated he...

Why the wider white stripe? It sucks big time! Should have just had the traditional home jumper with a white back! Is that too hard? Perhaps the AFL knobpolishers/Demetriou knocked this back and we were once again forced to modify BUT if not, then IMO they've stuffed up! The wider white stripe look...

The thing about having criminal friends is that 10, 20 years from now if he gets into trouble with the law he would be written up in the press as "former (insert club here) footballer Ben Cousins was ---------" . The potential for him to do damage to a club's reputation exists for the rem...

The flipside is we have one of the youngest lists in the AFL with one of the biggest number of <23 players of any team. So if a few of the kids turn out ok then the club's success can be continued for many years to come. Some people only see the negative. Mate, I could not have said it better!! the...

At no stage did the Board state they would take him but by their very actions of meeting with him, assessing him, discussing the circumstances under which he would come to the Club if they selected him over 5 months you would be hard pressed (at thye least) to deny that the pa...
