  1. The embattled Thai cabinet minister who lied about serving four years in a Sydney jail on a drugs charge has changed his story again, admitting for the first time that he was sentenced in Australia.

    After spending the weekend in a "war room" to combat a growing series of scandals, the legal team of Thai government enforcer Thammanat Prompao issued a statement insisting he was fully qualified to be an MP and cabinet minister.

     

    The Herald revealed last week that Thammanat, then a young soldier known as Manat Bophlom, was jailed for a minimum of four years after pleading guilty to conspiring to import 3.2 kilograms of heroin.

    Essendon assistant coach Ben Rutten is being “primed” to become the Bombers’ next senior coach — and the club has reportedly already taken steps to canvass support for him.

    Just over one week before the Bombers’ elimination final against West Coast in Perth, veteran AFL journalist Caroline Wilson said there was a looming replacement for John Worsfold as the club’s senior coach.

    Rutten joined the Bombers’ coaching panel 12 months ago with high expectations. Foxfooty.com.au reported at the timethat industry insiders believed Rutten was a senior-coach-in-waiting — a label that hasn’t changed in recent times.

    Well put there Chooks....i have a coach i could swap you for as i dont mind Ratts...

     

    The Tassie Demons did try and loose it by swillions today problem was North were just as awful in the end with a kick of 6 points in it Mr Maggo/Neal-Bullon hit the goal post with about his only kick of the game.....with just seconds to go to remind us of the season we just had...

     

    Billy and Jay put in again this week...some outside run we been missing all year and it may have saved them from Madam Guillotine in the coming weeks...i would be suprised if Neal-Bullon isnt looking to join his mate at the Saints next season and i will personally throw in a 3rd round pic im so confident that its the right move for both Alex and the Saints...

     

    On a brighter note im looking forward to who the Dee's swing an axe over in the coming off season as i strongly belive its not all the coaches fault, there are several list cloggers (WILL's fav termonolighy) who wont make the grade, i do hope we dont go pilliging FA rather go back to the draft...

    the dees have picked up Alan Richardson

    2GB broadcaster Steve Price has suggested basketballer Ben Simmons doubled down on claims of racial profiling at Crown Casino in order to boost prospects for a documentary about Adam Goodes he helped to finance.

    During his show on Tuesday, The Project host raised the question of whether Simmons was using the Crown incident as a marketing opportunity for his film.

    Simmons is a financier and executive producer of an Adam Goodes documentary that he wants screened in the US market.

    Well it's official Jack Steven definitely wants to go to Geelong.   Put in a request last year but Richo had it squashed so Steven pulled the mental health card and not playing.  He has again requested a trade even tho he's still contracted to the end of 2020.  If he doesn't will probably take a sicky next year on full pay.  If he does get it just watch the miraculous recovery. 

    Saints champ still wants trade to Cats, Richo thinks
