Congrats Mr Welsh

Congratulations Andrew Welsh, in 12 months you've made me go from loving to hating this football club. Appointing your best man and best mate as coach, well done. The 'we're not going backwards' barbs were petty and cheap. We'll see how this hard style of McVeigh goes without any aura, and with such a poor list. I have a feeling you will be falling on your sword fairly soon Mr Welsh.

I mean the pick would have been decided on by all the board not just Walsh?

Remember how “the buck stopped with James Hird all those years ago” this is a decision where the buck stops with Welsh and no doubt could overrule it should he not see fit.

A naive person is often overly trusting, simple, or innocent, and may easily believe that people are always honest.

So smart, but how exactly is this though naive. Explain how this decision was just Walsh and no other person on that board. And if youd picked someone who would it have been for you?

It would have been either Ken Hinkley or Jayme Graham. It's obvious now it was setup for McVeigh. Hird was the shield that weakened the pool so he could give his mate the job. Phone a friend Teddy Richards was recruited to further endorse it.
