Soccer is the greatest and by far the most important sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Soccer is the universal language that every nation on this planet loves. Afl is massive in 4 out of 6 Australian states. Still and always will be a minority sport in Qld and NSW. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 and every suburb will love soccer and every suburb will have its own soccer club rudgc

I know. How good was footy then.

[@damienbray8796]

Best interview on Open Mike 😂, the line about “ I had no plans on Monday nights was gold “ 😂😂

[@vaughanscott7308]

Love this guy soooo tough and skilled with a great sense of humor.

[@wespaul9345]

Good summation

[@georgemcardle260]

what a great interview. I like him a lot more now

[@jamesmcintyre4103]

Legend,loved to watch him.

[@tago69mago]

Know fuck all about aussie rules but loving these interviews and highlight reels. Very entertaining and down to earth. The 80s sounded like a blast!

[@tago69mago]

@god from england mate. Just sounds like a good down to earth game for the working man. No bullshit, just get on with it, get all that aggression out then go for a beer afterwards. But this game seems to attract some very interesting characters

[@tago69mago]

@god yes I've heard it's a bit more civilised nowadays lol. The old school guys moaning about how it's turned into a poofters game but I guess it had to become a bit more respectable with the sponsors and the money men. Was something like gunfight at the ok corral at times. Unbelievable but very entertaining none the less!

[@tago69mago]

@god I have mate. They're the ones I started with and just ended up binge watching a load ad well ad highlight reels of all the fights lol

[@tago69mago]

@god dont know anybody who really knows too much about the game here. Most guys know about it but not so much the rules. Funnily enough when I was a kid they used to show a game every sunday morning for a while so I kinda got into it but then they stopped showing them and I lost touch. Just went on youtube a while ago and found a vid and then went on a binge!

[@tago69mago]

@god ???

[@harrypenhall3722]

Thanks for this

Surprise, surprise West Coast on the juice in the mid 80's.

[@WAMAGPIE]

This guy has held his own from day one in his career. Colourful and despite what mike's spies tell him, he could hold his own well. (Banksy got him a good sneako though). This guy is one of my fav's for no backward step. could play a bit as well.

Dam great footballer, great skills, very light on his feet and great vision. I always felt that Rhys was defending himself most of the time.

Gee I miss the days where you could punch a bloke in the face, expect one back before the siren and then shake hands and have a beer.

Seems like a good dude

likeable fellow seemingly in this interview

[@neonbluez-is2es]

A true blue !

[@Fyfe4life07]

Watching these interviews they just don’t breed personalities like this anymore in footy sad but I guess we are in a lot more different times these days. No social media back then either and I really really think that was the best thing. Now you have to put up with all the footy moles complaining about broken finger nails or whinging and whining for not getting attention 🤣

[@marilyncatterall402]

What? West Coast and drugs! I don't believe it.

Made Dermie look like he was running backwards

[@brandonlee1330]

Mike didn't seem think that rys was a fighter ,should done homework,into his junior footy

[@wespaul9345]

Agree. Mike went into this with preconceived ideas. He almost thinks his opinion is the authority without regard to his subjects opinion or response. Thankfully David had enough class and personality to make this interview a classic which Sheehan almost ruined.

[@depressedessendonfan5702]

Dermie was defo on steroids

[@paulohara8967]

10 st 7 lbs in the old money is not 63 kg in the new money. He might as well have been a jockey.

[@adriang6259]

Sorry, this is not about David. I never liked Mike before now. This is a wonderful series.

[@sentimentalbloke185]

Sheahan has a rude habit of wanting to know what guys were earning, it's none of his business.

[@dockerdave]

Diesel Williams.. one of the dirtiest players I've seen

[@_User333]

More so than Leigh Matthews?

[@dockerdave]

@@_User333 Probably not more so than Lethal, but dirty nonetheless. It's amazing how players as dirty as Lethal and Clarkson have been rehabilitated and become elder statesment

[@_User333]

@@dockerdave I'd imagine they would have been at each other's throats but Diesel entered the game right about the time Lethal retired (from the field).
