Des does not like outspoken/loud players who have an influence on the playing group, be it a good or bad influence.
Its the reason he got rid of Ennis and Pritchard and one of the reasons he has turned Graham into a softcock.
I have never heard of an ex-player who played under Des give the bloke a wrap. You hear multiple players wrap there ex-coach's to the likes of Bennett, Gould, Bellamy.
Whenever Des' name comes up, all that is referred to is his a Manly boy thru n thru and some mad scientist bullshit
