If you haven't read Peter Fitzsimmons piece on Graham in the SMH, don't.

The guy is ***k snot.

 

[samshark]

I actually think the article makes some good points.
I get the players will have little time for ASADA but Graham did himself no favours with his dress and reported comment. Just makes him look arrogant and unprofessional.

 

[Nulla Boy]

Good on wade for the way he is handling himself.
I'm
Taking the view that's he is acting like someone who is far from guilty.
I think a guilty person would dressed in suit and given respect to ASADA.
This is his career on the line, of he was guilty I would see different behavior IMO.

 

[Gumby]

Exactly! ^^ ain't nobody got Time fo dat !

 

[Blair]

I'm with the above comments. Fitzsimmons whole article is basically an 'admit defeat' stance. Why should the boys give ASADA an inch when they aren't even clear what they are being charged with.

 

[slide rule]

Hmmm... I don't know.

I realise he doesn't think much of them, but sometimes it's more effective to be firm but polite. I don't think it's a good idea to stir the ants nest more than you have to.

Sorry to be logical but where was Wade quoted as saying that. I mean Danny Weilder said he said it so does that mean its true?

I'll put it down to snapping under pressure and a lack of experience. The bloke is still a kid and probably wasn't prepared for a half baked question like that to be
asked off the bat and responded like a kid would. It's obvious they where trying to play the good cop\bad cop routine. (Samshark can you verify?)

Yes he is leadership material, but not at this point in time. As we have seen he still has a lot to learn.
But go ahead media, slander and rail road the kid just like ASADA are trying to do.

Yeah. It is a tough gig. Particularly for someone of his age. I'm not too down on him for it.

It's just maybe not the best tactics to get the desired outcome. You have to play the game a bit.

That too.

This.

I can tell you from experience that when dealing with someone whose a smart arse and disrespectful only annoys you and makes it a bit personal, hence you fire up and dig even harder to nail them.

I wouldnt want to give too much away, some of you blokes might be in the hot seat one day.

I actually dont see this as being that disrespectful, and certainly not as a smart arse. He was there to answer direct questions about the period of time / people / supplements in question, and thats not what they were asking.
They were trying to get him to relax and create a (friendly?) environment where he'd later be caught off guard when they tried to hit him hard, or alternatively get a back story to which they could later quote and try to misrepresent or confuse him.
It seems to me that he was onto it, and hit the nail on the head by stating thats not what he was there for, but rather answer only questions directly related to the matter.

Howzat for a f***en picture! lol

 

[Addy]

If anyone has any artistic ability, can they please paint a picture of Wade giving Ferguson a roundhouse kick to the head in time for Sundays game?

 

[fishermanaxe]

I would not be surprised if Wade thought they literally wanted him to "paint a picture" lol.
