Cameron Schwab Quits

Cameron has quit as CEO of the Dockers….personal reasons.

Cameron is without doubt the best performing CEO in the league.
He came in when the club was a financial basketcase, in debt for millions.
He has overseen the best increase in membership of any club, and tranformed us into a very well sponsored club…..and one of the financial powerhouses.

Well done Schwabby….thanks.

Beautiful roast chicken, nice bottle of red….and a derby win….

My wife is a seriously good cook, and with her doing a chef course, she has taken it up a level or three….she cooked the most beautiful roast chicken, some friends bought around a great bottle of Margaret River Red….and she made a exquisite pavlova roll thingo…stuffed with rasberries and coated in a passionafruit glaze….seriously good.
Then I made some good coffee with some new beans I found at the local grocer….

Now I am just kicking back and looking forward to reading the paper tommorow…and enjoying the afterglow of a Derby win.

West Coast Eagles excuses….

1. Its Freo’s grand final….they always try harder than the Eagles for this game
2. The umpires were bias
3. Freo are Pavlich centrich
4. Josh Carr is mean to our players
5. Jeff Farmer celebrates too much when he kicks a goal
6. We don’t get no respect from the Freo coach
7. We are still ahead of you on the ladder…..aren’t we? Surely we are? what??!?!? Well we should be….
8. Its not fair, I don’t watch much footy anymore anyway….leave me alone.

All that matters is the following….

12.15 (87) to 10.13 (73)

Looking foward to Sunday…

So nice to be looking forward to church on Sunday….its has been exciting the last few weeks….what is God going to show us this week as we gather together for corporate worship?

There is so much to look forward to in life, God gives joy, purpose and meaning….
I am in a great place at the moment. Compared to how things have been, I just need to be grateful for a while.

I also am experiencing what Hybels calls “Holy Discontent”. There is so much opportunity around at the moment for our gathered community, the fields are ready to harvest….we just want the harvest to start coming in.

The cracks are starting to appear at the West Coast Eagles

Exhibit one
The Eagles’ senior players were criticised by chief executive Trevor Nisbett following last weekend’s nightmare against Adelaide. Nisbett took the unusual step of going public with his dissatisfaction following the Eagles’ demoralising 74-point defeat to the Crows, calling the last quarter effort a disgrace and warning senior players they needed to improve out of sight. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s western derby, Worsfold said he expected them to do just that against the Dockers, making talk of sweeping changes redundant. “I doubt it will happen this week, and I doubt it will happen down the line because we expect our senior players to get out of that,
Worsfold said. “We know they will bounce back, so that will not be an issue. And Worsfold said while Nisbett was entitled to voice his opinion, it held no sway inside the match committee room. “Trevor, certainly as CEO, is entitled to make his opinion felt, but he has no impact on our match committee selection,” Worsfold said.

Exhibit Two
But Worsfold was quick to remind his chief executive about who held the ultimate responsibility of picking the side.
“Trevor’s entitled as a CEO to make his opinion felt but … he has no impact on our match committee selection,” Worsfold said.

“I doubt it (wholesale changes as Nisbett voiced) will happen this week and I doubt it will be down the line because … we know how good they (our senior players) are and we know they’ll bounce back and that won’t be an issue.”

They weren’t the only comments Worsfold was forced to counter this week.
Worsfold, as shown in my post below….is also defending his assistant coach, Sumich, who one suspects has sour grapes after applying for the senior position at Freo, but failing to even get an interview….

I think the fallout from the Gillard report is far from over…..
