The AFL is investigating the illegal distribution of explicit images of AFL players that have been shared online without their consent.
So what's the story with West Coast?
They lost today to Adelaide by 122 points.
They lost to Collingwood last week by 63.
They lost Essendon the week before by 54.
They got smashed by 116 points by Hawthorn.
Let that one sink in.
Hawthorn. In full rebuild. The club everyone said was tanking for draft picks. Still dealing with the AFL investigation. Widely tipped to win the wooden spoon.
Before that, Gold Coast beat them by 70.
Again, the Gold Coast, who have still never played in the finals, and don't look like they'll make one this year.
So what's going on? Is it an issue with list management? Or fitness training?
Is it time for Adam Simpson to go?

Can Carlton finally break their losing streak? Will the Bombers fly up, up?
I think it's now safe to say West Coast's coach, Adam Simpson, has the full support of the Board.
We're still somewhere between "he's under contract" and "the club will review all it's personnel at the end of the season", but "we wish him well in his future endeavours " is not far off.
Looks like it will be a long day in the office for Hawthorn this afternoon against Melbourne...

Public transport options thin on the ground around Hobart's proposed AFL stadium at Macquarie Point
Perhaps it would be better if the new Tasmanian AFL team used existing stadia, such as Bellerive Oval in Hobart and York Park in Launceston, and the money for the new stadium was instead spent on public transport?
From the ABC:
"Hobart — a city with no passenger trains or trams, a single ferry route and limited bus patronage — is about to get a 23,000-seat stadium close to the CBD.
"The proposal for a stadium at Macquarie Point forms part of the state government's plan to convince the AFL to grant the state a team.
"The business case for the stadium predicts the multi-use entertainment precinct would annually host "at least" 44 events and see 587,000 people walk through its doors.
"So how does Hobart, a city of just over 200,000 people, move that many people in and out of the CBD?"
