“[I] did receive a call from the big raging bull yesterday,” JB said on the Saturday Rub.
“I didn’t get many words in in the first couple of minutes!
“I did have to, just a couple of times Duck, say ‘Ricciut, I didn’t have the intention of landing you in the brown stuff, I’m very sorry that that’s what happened’, and the message I got back very clearly was ‘so you should be’.

Wayne Carey said it wasn’t JB that Roo was most annoyed with -- instead, it’s Damian Barrett who copped his ire after writing that Ricciuto should step down as an Adelaide director.
“There’s a bloke here he’s not happy with,” Duck said, referring to Damo.
“But I said to him ‘you’re gonna have to get in line!’
“I said there’s a big queue, and the Rupert said ‘I don’t give a shit about the line!’”
Earlier this week, Roo had explained the circumstances around several Adelaide players moving on from the club on his show Roo & Ditts for Breakfast.
He had been open about the financial circumstances of the deals.
