This is what got up my nose - he has bagged the board for months - Simon Cook stands down and suddenly Kent reckons he is a great bloke and the only one doing anything. He forgot to mention that Cook has been on the board for the past 10 years and done absolutely nothing. He then goes on to say Dorahy has the runs on the board but his appointment is a ploy and he won't do anything. The guy is a wanker of the highest order.

"Earlier this week, board member Simon Cook, one of the few bright lights at the club, stood down from his position on the board to make way for John Dorahy.
From the outside it looks a cynical ploy to add an extra layer of cover between criticism of the football team and criticism of the board, where the true problem lies.
Dorahy is a cult hero from the days of the Western Suburbs Magpies, the days of a cloud of dust and a bucket of blood.
Dorahy is a class act. He has worked at various levels of local council and government, as well as holding board positions before, and his appointment will somewhat safeguard the board against criticism for its lack of footy knowledge.
The directors will just nod towards Dorahy."
