    Yes ... pretty much. There's been a number of ex-WCE "legends" (medias term, not mine) come out and call for sacking and a clean out of Admin etc, but the media continually follow it up with the 2025 contract at $1M a year and the soft-cap palaver.

    The only newspaper over here is the West Australian ... commonly referred to as the WestCoast Australian. They never write anything negative about the Eagles, but if the Dockers put one foot out of place ... look out.

            If he leaves now there are very plausible reasons why they've bottomed out so he would still be employable with other clubs.
            Two years must be a daunting time to go to work if you aren't enjoying it especially for a results orientated career coach.

            I suspect there will a reasonable pay out come the end of the season and from some reports the soft cap might be increased again for next season.
            He may also feel a sense of duty to stick with his players. Money isn't the only reason to coach

                Yeah but money buys you that second house which is the ultimate goal of any self respecting AFL citizen.

                                        Chants and media speculation focusing about sacking the coach is put into a more realistic perspective. That isn't his fault
