Pretty valid point imo, really bad optics from Gavin Bell that just gives the media unnecessary ammo, shows his inexpedience.

Not sure how hes in the footy manager roll. 15 years as WAFL assistant coach/WCE player welfare + high school teacher and all of a sudden into a really important roll. give me crazy Vozzo anyday

Was at East Perth during the alignment with WCE and never heard a good thing about him.
He's there because he's cheap and he doesn't challenge Nizzy, allowing Nisbett to keep control on footy ops.

Bell must be the least qualified GM of football in the league. That's ridiculous considering we're one of the biggest clubs.
 
I can't read the article but I was wondering how things would be going behind closed doors. If I was Simmo I'd be wanting to tear the S&C department down - they can't keep a team on the park yet it will be his head eventually if he can't improve the win loss record. The early season forms shows that they've probably turned a corner from last year, but that won't mean a thing if it's another 2 win season.

The Eagles have a lot of worries at this point in time including crisis talks over information leaks, writes The Snitch.

I mean, I've got a theory...
 
This is so silly. The way out is we do our time down the bottom of the ladder, keep our picks instead of trading for an easy fix, and hope we select and develop some good talent.

Every year 10 clubs don't make finals, it's okay to suck occasionally.

Far too pragmatic an opinion to be understood on Big Footy.
 
Lots to agree with here.

Yep - good article. It made me respect Cornes' work ethic though. His opinions might be shit but he's pretty savvy and devoted to his profession. I wonder how good he could be if he devoted it to proper analysis instead.

Gavin Bell seems to be one of those people that fails upward. He was our head of development for years when it seemed we had very few players drafted develop much, and now he’s been given a promotion. All this to a guy who was known for ending the careers of promising footballers while a coach at West Perth. He must have some dirt on someone to keep getting jobs like he has been. 👎

It's symptomatic of the Club as we in general, promote from within, rather than bring in new faces who may have new ideas and new perspectives.

It reeks of The CEO surrounding himself with known quantities who are essentially YES men.

As the old Richie Benaud joke went: ..... " Hey let's all work as a team and do it my way."
