DEVILS coach Daryn Cresswell has hit back angrily at Port Melbourne president Peter Saultry, who advised the Tasmanian VFL side to cut its partial alignment with the Kangaroos.
Saultry said in Saturday's Mercury Port was like a new club after cutting its ties with the Kangaroos at the end of 2005.
"I think he (Saultry) should stick to running his own footy club and not worry about ours," Cresswell said.
"I thought the Kangaroos players were terrific (against Port Melbourne) and I have got nothing but praise for our involvement with the Kangaroos and the way they have gone about things in the way they have structured things with players coming down.
"I challenged the players coming down and today they stood up, every one of them."
Cresswell had the Mercury article pinned up on the white board in the changerooms prior to Saturday's 26-point loss to Port Melbourne in front of 1825 fans at Bellerive, with Saultry's comments highlighted and under a headline of "Everybody Read!"
