He'll say he was offended by the inappropriate use of the aboriginal artifact, and the questions around confidential personal information the organisers used on them.
If you think he's going to confirm all your wild fantasies about tied naked to trees etc then you'll be reading a book for no reason.
Imagine that, reading a book for no reason!!

Apparently Eddie Betts biography has now been delayed on the back of the recent media retraction. Allegedly this has irritated Betts and his book will now expose some further truths which he was going to avoid telling.

Is this true or not who knows but one thing is for sure he has a decent publicist using the situation to generate further interest in the book.


Simple arithmetic tells us Betts told McClure, McClure told the world, McClure has egg on his face = nobody believes him > Betts.

If Betts is unhappy the Age / 9 retracted some comments he's clearly the source and I can't wait to read his book.


The other somewhat interesting part is I believe the original author was Ali Clarke (Matt Clarkes wifes)

Since the delay and additions to book she will be not the author anymore...……...….

A very low key mention of Thebarton as potential new site. Nothing new there. Making it sound like they are very much looking at other, more desirable options.

Maybe, although you would think the cost involved would be prohibitive. It is owned by Lion Nathan I think who won't care about community space :)

There is no chance any club could afford to buy the brewery site.

Reach out to the Sheikh, change your name to Adelaide City FC and your jumper to Sky Blue, that'll do it.

Has the preseason changed any ones thought on where they will finish?

Obviously only two games but for mine probably reinforces where most think they are at...…very much on the rebuild, very physically small side. Hard to see them finishing above the bottom four.

The bright side is though they appear to have a few kids who will be very good in a few years time and Rachele who has all the makings of an A+ player eventually.

The preseason should not change anyone's mind as to where anyone will finish.

Adelaide lost 5 games last year by less than 2 goals. Young sides are almost always inconsistent. This time of the year everyone looks like they have improved at times.

FWIW I think they will be in the 10-14 bracket.

Agree about Rachele. He looks quite comfortable already, but like most young blokes, a season against men will take it's toll.

I liked the way Rachele “gave it” to Keays for blasting at goal instead of passing it off

Walker won 2 off his own boot too. Forward half, in fact the key forwards, are a long way off. Fogarty, Frampton, Himmelberg, Walker, besides Thilthorpe none of them are the answer going into 2023.
