TOPIC:

I thought Dorro's performance at the enquiry was quite remarkable. Great performance considering what he was up against - re his emails.

Swans throwing him under the bus didn't work. Like a cat with nine lives..

Surprised me.

Put the spotlight on the enquiry team and their agenda was the take away.

Had the pollies eating out of his hand.

Where have you heard or read this?

U can watch the videos online of the enquiry.

A bit of advice... Watch the WAFL CEOs video first. Acted like a bunch of clowns.

You have to be joking?

Shown up for what he is.

No knowledge of Parliamentary Inquiries, what a joke, having spent years on the Road Safety Commission, who buys that?

Dennis came across quite good I thought. Any reason why WP SF and EF not present or was that a different day.

FMD, just watched the Dorrington interview, had to stop before I threw up. Talk about wanting to rewrite history. What a self serving self promoting wanker, surely the committee can see through his bullshit, if not all is lost and the inquiry is a complete waste of time and tax payers money.

Agreed SS. You are Defending the indefensible Mr Dorrington. If he had any credibility he would have fallen on his sword and been honourable. Time for the captain of the titanic to wake up and realise he’s hit the iceberg and the ship in on the way to bottom of the briny.

Exactly my thoughts. I found it late last night. Dorrington came across as an "I"(eye) specialist, name dropper and spin doctor. He's been pedaling this rubbish for years and clearly thinks of himself as a kind of lobbyist/power broker in football and that is precisely the problem with the WAFC.

They think they know better than everyone else so they just say leave it to me, trust me and we will handle it. It's like an elite club.

I thought Tony Butti was outstanding and precisely on point in pointing out that despite Dorros spin on it, it is not a good look for transparency. His communications both verbal and in email gave a fairly strong impression of a don't bite the hand that feeds you threat.

Then Catania I think his name is also made a good statement about the perceived impression there is too much power at the top and members of the two AFL clubs and grass roots football don't get enough say and consideration.

Then Dean Nalder spoke, His opening was about how far back they go when Dean first played under Eddie Pitter (I assume at EP) and how often their paths have crossed since so straight away I knew there wasn't going to be an hard and fast scrutiny from Nalder of Dorrington.

Never the less I liked (though found it unusual in a parliamentary enquiry) that he discussed raising the age limit from when young players can be drafted. Again Dorrington went off into spin mode going on about his grand kids and talking about how most clubs these days have Chaplin's and of course Neale Fong gets another honorable mention about when he was Chaplain of the WCE. No doubt Dorro is anticipating Fong will be the new WAFC CEO and Dorrington will be guaranteed a seat on the commission. Lets hope not.

"I've been in this wonderful game this long and served in this, this and that...." Thanks for your time Dorro but it's time for a fresh set of minds that don't believe the WAFC has to operate like some secret high society.
