WEST Coast yesterday announced it would launch its own independent inquiry into the club's culture just two days after the AFL appointed a retired High Court judge to probe the club's recent behavioural problems.
And the Eagles expect more damning examples of its players off-field troubles, previously kept secret, to be revealed as part of its review.
"Anything that has come to the table (but has been kept quiet) will come out in this review," Nisbett said.
The review team could investigate West Coast's handling of Daniel Kerr's repeated off-field indiscretions, including his charges for assault and forging a prescription, plus the revelation earlier this year that he had been caught on tape discussing personal drug use and the interstate movement of a dangerous sedative with a convicted drug dealer.
Of particular interest will be the facts and toxicology reports subsequent to Chad Fletcher's near-death experience on a players' trip to Las Vegas last year.
It will also concentrate on the club's previous inclination to sweep such incidents and drug and alcohol problems, such as those suffered by Ben Cousins, under the carpet.
