Perth's 96FM radio reveals Russell Clarke to replace Dean ‘Clairsy' Clairs as breakfast co-host with Lisa Shaw
After rocking the Perth radio scene on Monday with an on-air announcement of his departure from 96FM's top-rating breakfast show, Dean Clairs dropped another bombshell on Friday when he and co-host Lisa Shaw revealed Clairsy's replacement. Russell Clarke will step into one of the most coveted gigs in Perth radio, at the city's No.1 station, joining Shaw from Monday. Clarke is a familiar voice for 96FM listeners, having previously hosted the Afternoons show at the station before departing earlier this year. 'I'm really looking forward to returning to 96FM, after a little time off, and working again with Lisa, who I have known for many years,' Clarke told The West Australian. 'I'm also looking forward to reconnecting with 96FM's listeners, and, together with Lisa, getting the day underway, with just great songs and plenty of laughs.' Shaw said the departure of Clairsy was like saying goodbye to a brother, but she and Clarke 'go way back', so it was like reuniting with her 'other brother'. The all-new Lisa & Russell show will feature an increased dose of listener favourite Adrian Barich, with the Seven News sports guru upping his on-air presence to appear on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. West Coast Eagle Elliot Yeo and Fremantle Docker Hayden Young and the other regular guests from the Clairsy & Lisa Show will also be returning. The Lisa & Russell show airs from 6am Monday.

Fremantle legend Michael Walters says he embraced larrikin tag to bring out best in Dockers
There are few Fremantle players who could bring a smile to your face like Michael Walters, and the recently retired legend says it was always a key part of his game. The Dockers great and The West Australian columnist appeared on Channel 7's The Front Bar and fittingly explained why it's always important to have a laugh at the footy. 'I've always been one who likes to have fun and just enjoy myself, and I thought if I could rub that off on a few players, that would make them play better,' Walters said. 'Footy is a strenuous job, so if you can have fun on the weekends, those are the best two hours of your week. I kept that away from Ross (Lyon) though!' As the panel went through his playing career, there were just as many highlights of his goal celebrations as there were goals, even revealing how some criticism from the newspaper inspired one. After kicking a goal against Sydney in 2021, Walters turned and feigned writing in a notepad, which he said was in response to some feedback he had received. 'The first one I copped some articles in The West Australian, but I'm a part of them now, so I enjoy it,' he said. 'There was always some thought behind them, and it is something I worked on from time to time.' Walters famously grew up in Midvale alongside fellow draftees Nic Naitanui and Chris Yarran and he revealed who was the best of the trio at the time. 'When I play, I always go back to those times. We tried to keep Nic Nat away from the footy as much as we could,' he said. 'But Chris Yarran was the best of us at that age by a country mile.' While Walters had plenty of accolades to look back on from captaining the Indigenous All Stars to All-Australian honours, Walters said he would trade it all for a flag. 'Looking back on it now, I'm proud of that but as a footy professional, you want that main goal which is the flag,' he said. 'As you come to the end, you do look back on it only, but it's mainly something for the family members.' However, Walters believes this year could end Fremantle's torment in their wait for a maiden flag and give Nat Fyfe a fairytale send-off after he announced his retirement at the end of the season earlier this week. 'I do think they can win it this year,' he said. '[Fyfe] single-handedly put the club on the map, especially early days. He was a superstar, you see what he does on the footy field, he goes hard at it. 'He's an all-time great and someone who was genuinely there for you as a person.'
