theres only one thing that i would like to know about the whole matty johns saga, why did tracey grimshaw single him out and virtually ruin his career, but convenietly forgot about anyone else invovled, if other people were involved why not name them as well, sorry 2nd thing what was the outcome of the whole story, no follow up on the others guys no news on how the girl ended up in fact a now dead story, i do believe in justice for all, miss grimshaw you clearly only believe in ratings and feelings for yourself only

He’d still be at Nine if he did the right thing and apologised to the woman unreservedly rather than fudge it before the 4 corners program. Has no one to blame (e.g. Media etc.) but himself and the morons who were also there.

FJ: I have deleted the comment you have referred to. I take all comments submitted on the basis of good faith and broadly speaking I don’t drill down into IP addresses and email addresses unless required. 99% of the time most comments are submitted genuinely, though not everybody uses a valid email address (which is actually a requirement of Comments Policy). Thus far I have not required people to register / log-in and would hope it doesn’t need to be introduced.

Can I ask why some numbnut is allowed to pose as myself?

You have my email addy and it’s the same for every FJ comment.

Revealed by Four Corners? lol

This made news in 2002 except no names were mentioned. Victorians really need to wake up.

That is a sad loss for Nine. Despite the controversy, Matthew was great on both the Footy Show and as part of the commentary team. Wonder if Wendell Sailor will take his place if he doesn’t play next year.

Let’s hope the rumours are true about him coming to Triple M Sydney.

Sensible decision Matty.Miss ya heaps but family comes first.Sadly sh*t sticks as they say & while you almost lost what some people only dream of, what matters most came through.
All the best Reg,Trent & all those hilarious characters we loved,you old shagger.
