Seriously htf would he know unless laidley told him.

Or is mike partial to that sort thing and has done the rounds?

Explains why he gets nearly everyone to open up to him with his open Mike series as people trust him. He would choose not to report lots of personal information over his time and imo shows his integrity.
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

What the bikies at Smiffy don't like cross dressers or feminine men? :o :lol:


Not too many cross dressers wandering down Anderson Walk I wouldn’t have thought.

Could be fascinating if he ever writes a book about it all one day. There’s so much he’s know but never have reported on.

You'd be naive to think people all over Perth didn't know about Cousins' drug use before it became public knowledge. No different here.

And good on Sheehan for not taking it upon himself to make it public.

Nah it was whilst I was living in the area and I moved here in 2016. Either last year or the year before it was pretty full on.

Yep absolutely!

As a regular town goer every weekend from 1999-2009 even i could tell a million and one stories of seeing AFL players behaving badly. Most of the time it was no more than what us regular plebs was doing, only they were well known.

The old Rise Nightclub was a hot spot for AFL footballers who wanted to go about their partying business without people harassing them.

Okay I was wrong this was the incident I remembered bullet holes in the hotel and dropkicks hiding in a backyard.

I must've just read about the latter falllout like court cases or whatever after I had moved into the area and mistakenly thought the incident happened then.

Majak Daw has torn a pec and if he goes to surgery will not play this year.

A very painful injury.
