I wonder what he and his dad thinks of our recent success? I'm very curious to know...

I'd like to think that Matty would be happy for us, his father would be spewing.
Matty is extremely happy for our recent successes
He was very upset last week with the passing of Tucky . Was very close to him

Interesting Matthew White interview by a couple of the boys at BigFooty.


Topics covered:
-Matts slightly unusual way of getting drafted to the club and the lead up to the pre season draft
-His debut game vs Fremantle and that Joel Bowden hug.
-What went wrong in the 2007 season where we finished last
-The coaching style difference between Wallace and Dimma
-His very honest thoughts on the sub rule and how he coped being in that role a lot
-our 2013 season where we made finals but White injured his hamstring just before the final vs Carlton and the lengths he went to trying to prove his fitness for the game
-His departure from the club and the circumstances around it, very open and honest
-The goal of the year he kicked for Port against us and the Steve Morris chase
-The 2014 final against Port and how he felt in the lead up
-Some great stories / insights about players he played with and against
-Thoughts on the current rules / state of the game

Was it actually his Dad or just someone that stuck up for him?

I mean, I'm not Ray Chamberlain's dad.

Re first point, I think so.

Re second point, that's exactly what someone who was Razor's dad would say...

Nah, someone who was Razor's dad would say "STAND... STAND...... STAND..... STAND....... I'm Razor's Dad"

Said it himself. Most teams lift against us.

Sounded like a bit of a whinger at the club and mentioned a few negative comments, including not wanting to play in defence.

Can't make out who told him to f*ck off (sounded like "....okey")
 
I can't remember whether Rimmer hated Lids, Cotch or Dusty (or all 3)
Definitely had issues with Lids (called him a pumpkin), hated Dusty. Don”t remember him saying much about Cotch, but all sorts of things came out when rimau had a few.

Can’t remember him hating Dusty but he said his son had no time for Lids. Said there was a clique or a division at the club between the stars and the workhorses. Had some very interesting insights into the club. I agreed with him more often than not. I didn’t want Whitey to go to Port but he was offered a much better deal there than Richmond was prepared to give him.
