Sports reporter Brad Hardie could not hold back his frustration with West Coast, saying the players are ill-equipped, the fans are being sold a pup and management is not being honest about the state of the club.

Press PLAY to hear Brad Hardie’s scathing review of West Coast.

He told 6PR Breakfast hosts Millsy and Karl that even members of the media are “softballing” the situation for fear of being blackballed.

“Every time McQualter speaks now, he’s not speaking to the players. He’s speaking to John Worsfold, Don Pyke and the board, trying desperately to sell them a pup. And if they’re dumb enough to take it, they should be out of a job”, he said.
