WEST Coast coach John Worsfold can't understand what all the fuss is about.
In fact, he's become quite bemused about all the talk surrounding his future, joking there are probably even betting markets offering odds on whether he'll re-sign with the Eagles.
West Coast chairman Alan Cransberg has publicly declared Worsfold is the right man to coach the Eagles beyond this year.

Cransberg went as far to say he couldn't imagine a scenario where Worsfold wouldn't be coaching the club next year if the club great was keen to continue into a 13th season.
The only problem is, Worsfold is yet to make up his mind on that front.
Worsfold says he's more than comfortable to wait until the end of the season before having a chat to chief executive Trevor Nisbett and Cransberg about the situation.
But in the meantime, Worsfold will have to get used to the 'will-he, won't-he' speculation.
"I love what I do. I've loved my involvement and I'm loving the challenge we've got now creating something out of this season and achieving some really good results," Worsfold said on Wednesday.
"So that's my focus. And contract talk? People can create talk and they can take punts.
"Is there a (betting) market? Yeah there would be. I'd be interested to see where all the money's going.
"But that's just out there. It doesn't faze me. I'm really clear on where I sit and why I'm doing what I'm doing.
"Come October I'll sit down with Nizzy and Alan and talk about where the club wants to go."
Full steam ahead for Nic Nat
Worsfold was surprised his tenure was attracting interest in Melbourne.
"In the east? What do they care? They really care that much?" he said with a trademark Worsfold smile.
West Coast (2-4) are still precariously placed following their stuttering start to the year, but will be aiming to make it two wins on the trot when they take on Brisbane at the Gabba on Saturday.
Star ruckman Nic Naitanui is ready to play close to a full game after making a successful return from groin surgery in last week's 70-point win over the Bulldogs.
Naitanui played around 40 minutes in that match as the sub.
But the 2012 All-Australian will start on the field against Brisbane, alternating between ruck and forward-line duties in around 90 minutes of game time.
Worsfold was also confident star midfielder Luke Shuey would recover from a corked calf in time to play the Lions.
Wingman Matt Rosa, Andrew Embley and Adam Selwood will be pushing for selection, but vice-captain Beau Waters (adductor) and Sam Butler (calf) have been ruled out for another week.
Brisbane are set to be boosted by the return of classy veteran Simon Black, who has played three games in the reserves since recovering from off-season knee surgery.
