Was Ratten involved at North prior to this week? If not, why isn't one of the assistant's stepping up?
Whoops, there goes another year. Whoops, there goes another pint of beer.

Has been working part time at the club, three days a week plus game day?

Makes sense then. The way it was reported sounded like a call was made to bring Ratten in.

Did I just hear that the accused have been exonerated?
Or did I mis hear that.

If correct that is one serious leak. And probably deliberate if so. Quinn's press release of last week saying there was no deadline etc, may have killed it.

Hopefully that will save 37000 pieces of paper.

Heard some of Jeff Kennet last night, he said the original info came from Cyril Rioli a Hawks legend. Surely there is a level of truth to all this as I can’t see Cyril not telling the truth.

Everyone seems to be jumping on the poor Clarko bandwagon but for Cyril to come out there has to be something in it.

Clearly there's something in it.
The sentiment for Clarko/fagan has certainly changed since the beginning and that's due to the inactivity of the investigation.

I think you’ll find the Rioli’s issue was mainly to do with Kennett rather than Clarkson, Fagan & Burt.

Was Cyril issue about Kennetts poor attempt at humour about the ripped jeans of his partner?
