Ok, rings a bell now. Was West happily married at the time?

Yes he was. I was just reading some threads on it from 2001 when the story first started doing the rounds on bigfooty, and some respected users who are still active on bigfooty 16 years later are adamant it’s not entirely true.. so who knows really
 
Kane wrote that in 2011, when Primus banished the older guys to the SANFL during his rebuild, That he, Chad, Pearce, Motlop, Surjan, Salopek & Ebert called themselves the 'Forgotten Seven'......
For what it's worth, Cornes said the other day on 3aw that the relationship between him and Primus "is still very frosty. We say hello, but that's pretty much it"
No doubt this is common knowledge, but he reckons he would've most likely been traded from Port, but then Primus got the arse, so things obviously changed.

Yea after reading his book I’m not surprised, basically half it was slagging off ‘Matty’
 
With respect to the West and Cox story "not getting out", I'm sure I remember the Bulldogs calling a press conference about it. Terry Wallace just made vague references to "some nasty rumours going around which aren't true", and then the two of them posed awkwardly for a photograph shaking hands and putting on a Gee Aren't We Great Mates vibe.

I believe it was true. Caro did a story on it at the time. I recall it had a photo of Scott West at the Shrine of Remembrance on St Kilda Road.

I guess that's what happens when an ultimate professional with winning attitudes and experiences mixes with a bunch of soft *****
Nup it was similar at Hawthorn. Have heard this from several AFL players.

Absolute campaigner they said, but it obviously worked out fine from a football point of view so good on him. Hodgey is the professional bloke every AFL player talks about highly.
 
No way something like that would get swept under the rug if it happened these days.
Smartphones, internet, social media etc as they've appeared and involved mean mean you $%^# up at breakfast time and by lunchtime it's a meme.
 
Yeah nevermind, read back further after posting.

Getting your post instantly quoted at 6am :rolleyes:
Yeah I know what/who you're referring to, and if I'm choosing to play here at the end of a boring shift that's my business.
 
I can confirm this would be the case. As I was told by a current players sister about issues with Sam Mitchell and the playing group. Obviously has a set way of doing things and standards he wants met.

He is apparently not the most liked bloke going around and they would be suprised if he stayed on coaching at the Eagles in 2018...
If he's so hated why was Mitchell the guy who took control before extra time against Port, and brought your team together, instead of the guy who's been captain for years?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. Stunning inditement of Hurns captaincy.

I'm not a respected poster but was around then.

It was a bizarre thing to see. West didn't just start on the bench - he never went on the ground. Club said migraine but rumours started swirling that Cox knocked his lights out before the game.

As I recall, Cox did an interview (I think after he left) saying it was all BS and I've always suspected it was something that started at a pub and took on a life of its own.
