What a pathetic state of affairs when a 28 year old grown man, needs the guidance of his parents, who are concerned with his off-field affiliations, what the hell is wrong with these Eagles players?

I'll tell you
For far too long the eagles hierachy has perpetuated the behavioural standards which have landed their players in so much trouble. Why have they?
Because on field success is held in higher regard than moral integrity. West Coast are a successful club, no one is denying this, but the notion of being humble victors has roared passed faster than Cousins on a night out on the Canning
For too long Trevor " I'm a doctor, and you are depressed" has continued a performance/beavioural policy. That is, if you are performing on the field, we dont give a stuff what you do off it.
What does this do, it makes people believe in their own self indulgent legend, it facilitates a notion amongst a player group, that we are " Bulletproof"
But what happens when this myth catches up the players, and the club?
We are soon to find out, Daniel Kerr is on his last legs and mark my words, he is that dumb, and he will go to jail.
The club itself, forever proclaiming to be a flagship both on and off the field is nothing more than a cheap fishing vessel, which upon closer inspection, reveals leaks, no stability and a penchant for doing the wrong thing.
And the question I pose, if their are so many issues amongs the player group and staff members, why havent heads rolled?
West Coast are an embarrasment to the AFL, Western Australia and the sponsors and fans they represent.
So who is to blame?
Look no further than a mirror.
