Easts were gifted a major sponsor through ch9, gifted huge amounts of prime time free to air coverage (at the expense of more worthy teams), they have raped and pillaged other clubs best jrs by finding money the other clubs just don't have, they have been a blight on the game with Carney, Friend, Myles, Fitler ect all bringing the code into disrepute. Carney is in the 'Guinness' book of records for being the quickest ever ape to recover from alcohol addiction. I personally think he played better when he was pissed, he's useless sober, a bit like Joey, if you know what I mean?
Anyway, Easts should merge with Souths to form a super crap club. With unlimited cash, no salary cap, two of the most transient coaches in the game, a dictator in Politis at the helm that has never personally been held accountable for anything other than when Easts make the GF, a movie star with links to Oprah and a bunch of guys signed from other clubs looking to cash in on the boom, more than to play footy, how can they not at least improve from their present standing?
