The Stupidity of Eagles

Purple-hearted Mark will love me for picking a fight with his arch-enemies the wee-girls, but when I read this on The Age (stolen from the West Australian) I couldn’t let it pass without comment:

“WEST COAST chief executive Trevor Nisbett has accepted responsibility for the scandals that have rocked the club but defended his job and said calls for his sacking were naive because no single person could change the player culture at a football club.”

So it’s naive to suggest that you should remove a significant part of any problem, because it doesn’t make up the whole problem. Nisbett is right though – no one person is able to change the culture of the football club, and so as a result the entire management of the club should resign if they are serious about changing the culture.

    I’m hoping that the whole club gets de-registered… :)

    No, really, I really am…. :)

    Seriously, through sheer embarassment Nisbett should resign. Did you know that the ex club president, who was the only one I though carried himself with any character, was denied a place on the AFL Commission because of the problems at the club?

    Hmmmm wouldn’t it be a great day if the players could, and did sack the management!
