TOPIC:

Having a chat to players at our game the consensus of opinion from them was that Simpson is a really good coach and that blame for much of the issues should be laid fairly and squarely on the recruiting and list management people. 

One of the players who had been on a VFL list suggested that this had been predicted elsewhere sometime ago. 

Without going through the names mentioned it was clear that they thought players had been recruited that were perhaps ''gunna be's' and haven't and should have been delisted, players who have been played but just aren't not up to VFL standards.

The issue now is for the CEO to accept that it is role to manage this part of the organisation and accept that they failed and have failed dismally. 

9 players in the top 55 best paid list

Hey Grump. I just saw your byline attached to your posts and thought how true it was.

"We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so stupid people won't be offended."

These days it could also be extended to include where the silent majority is being sidelined to placate the vocal minority. We live in a different world from when I was a kid and I don't necessarily think it's a better one.

Truer words were never said BC.
I weep for the future if this woke sickness isn't stopped soon.

No coach in any sport in the world has survived with his insipid record. It's a boys club.
The buck stops with the coach.....

I suppose they want every-one to all have a cry about it?
And just wonder if big business is sparing a thought for the Wafl, which has been in the doldrums for donkeys years? With very poor attendances on a weekly basis and no real future plans to arrest the current dire predicament. And the Wafl receiving little support it must be said!
 

and so the sham begins again
Nisbett doing his very best impersonation of the invisible man
and the first casualty is a low leveller not the filthy prick that hired & oversaw him
wonder when the CIA spectre Gepp will pop it's head up again
 

Just to put things in context. West Coasts current percentage is 47.3. The lowest % in VFL/AFL history is 45.4 (St Kilda 1955), GWS in their first season were 46.2 and Fitzroy in their last season (1996) were 49.5. This indicates not just a normal cyclical "bottoming out" but a complete fall off a cliff which may take them 5 years to recover from.

The rebuild hasn't even began yet.
Shuey wants to play on next year, spare me.
