Gentlemanly discussion on the coaching future of Adam Simpson

[Hap Hapablap]

You genuinely think his job is under threat?

if he loses every game youd think so right?

If it's not the whole board and ceo's jobs should be under threat.

We have an unnaccountable club it seems.

Rename the club to the
"west coast communist eagles"

Listen to the talk back radio segment.
I reckon there is at least one big footy poster in there.

It's not me.

That second last caller was a BF poster no doubt. He was pissed.

Nope. West Coast are a prudent and conservative organisation. A disappointing season impacted by injuries to our two most important players.

If you think Simpson will be sacked off the back of that, you don't have any idea.

just like how he has no idea to coach the side right and select players

We all know the gutlessness extends from the top down and eventually trickles down to what we see on the field - we know it won't happen at seasons end but we all want it to.

I dont think he will be sacked but i guarantee he will be under extra pressure and scrutiny.WCE supporters like success and i think we have had enough of the be good corporate citizens era.If Simmo is basing his whole career on NNs ability its a sad day for all of us.For goodness sake get this team organised so that when NN comes back he is the cream not the nuts and bolts.The GF year was probably the year of footy watching i enjoyed more than any other because we were written off and were FORCED to make changes and had great success against all odds.This year is probably the year ive enjoyed the least;even worse than wooden spoon year.We have gone nowhere..er ..yes we have, weve gone backwards;we have clung desperately to the old guard,constantly lost winnable games,havnt shown a lot of support for each other on the field re things like shepperding and physical clashes and generally this has been a nothing year.We have clung to a misguided belief that we are a finals side when blind Freddie could tell we are struggling.Yes weve had injuries but we had them in GF year.This side needs a change of direction and if Simmo is the one to lead it then he needs a change of direction.

 

[Gizza]

We are still in the hunt for a finals spot and therefore experience in the games matter

Experience means **** all if the players aren't performing, and even less if they're aren't even doing the basics like laying a shepherd. What kinda message does that send the less experienced guys? As it currently stands out experienced guys are doing us more harm than good.

 

[Gizza]

There's a whole thread on it that Fivestrings started today.
But also I've posted this numerous times on a couple of threads so people are probably sick of seeing it. It was accurate up until (and including) Mutimers debut iirc and covers from 2011-now. We've debuted the least number of players and of those that have debuted the players who we've drafted have gone on to play the least number of total games. Pretty damning.

God, the games played isn't even close. Excluding the Hawks we've put 40% fewer games into new guys than the next least amount. We've put 12% fewer compared to the Hawks and they've won 3 flags in that time. There's gotta be some serious questions asked about the way this club has been run of late.

Never. We're too nice and conservative. Do you think our board would have sacked Harvey for Lyon if in the same circumstances? No chance. This lot would never have sacked Todd.

Or Judge?

Wasn't Nisbett the CEO then?

"We can't dismiss our list and write off the season and bottom out. We're not far away, so we need a balance." Simpson


Bold surely he's taking the piss, we have won 3 out of 10 in recent times, same as Freo- Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Ugh **** the "player" bit off that contract. Actually get rid of the coach bit too, what is he going to teach anyone? Other than some leading patterns/blocking for JK, he is just pure skill.

The 3 year player/contract offer wasn't in the tweet. Chris_6678 is having a shit stir.

Load up on Brissie ($10 high roller that I am).

Did I write "board" Mr Pedantic? As previously stated, we've changed a lot since 2007.

Lecca can teach the guys how to do dribble goals from 40m out straight in front [emoji106]

You did write board, sorry I missed that.

Since the board is full of business types now, I doubt they'd have any qualms in axing an underperforming executive and giving him a golden handshake.

Very loyal man is Simpson, I like that .....Lecras is a beautifully skilled footballer and would be good to have him around the squad .

Read that of the WA based players Lecras is third fastest something like 18.7km/hr over the distance of his running during a game and Gaff was right up there in the top few also ...I think S Hill was below pace on Lecras as the name suggests Hill must of been doing just that running up a Hill or he just cant keep up now.

 

[RookiePick]

Poor old Simmo. He can't even feel the heat coming...

Depends on the KPI's tho, doesn't it?
