Tony Liberatore’s been shooting off, as reported on the AFL’s web site.

To call for the coach’s head is one thing — it’s almost expected — but to call for Campbell Rose’s sacking is ridiculous. The club’s turning a pro­fit for the first time in years, we’re about to open the best train­ing fac­i­l­i­ties in the lea­gue, and we’ve got one of the high­est reg­ar­d­ed tac­t­i­cal minds coa­ch­ing our team. None of this would’ve been pos­s­i­ble with­out Smor­gon or Rose’s lead­er­ship.

Libber, we appreciate that you’re passionate about your club, but run­n­ing your mouth like this is far more div­is­ive and destab­i­l­i­sing than any­th­ing Rose has been up to. How about talk­ing the club up and giv­ing the young boys a sense of being part of a his­t­ory?
