"I did have one memorable run-in with him, though, an infamous phone-throwing incident, back in 2004 at Subiaco Oval. I'd given away a 50-metre penalty and then another free kick, and he decided to get me off the ground. I didn't think there was anything in them, it was ridiculous why they had been given and I came off the ground very wound up.
When I got off, someone said Roosy was on the phone, and I just grabbed it and went for it, telling him it was humiliating taking me off the ground because I knew I had stuffed up, but he should have just left me on. When I had said my piece, I just threw the phone.
It was on the news everywhere that weekend, but it turned out Roosy wasn't even on phone. I had been talking to myself. He had a bit of a laugh the next Monday with me and asked me what I said on the phone. I told him I just wanted to know how he was going up there."
