If they did as he does, the coaches box would be full as a fat lady's sock.
He is a coach- not a player or player/coach, so yes, do as I say.

Exactly. The guy isn't playing the game anymore. He's done his hard yards and is more than entitled to his pies and beers.
TBF, he wasn't in pristine condition when he played, so it's not surprising he's carrying a few.
As others have said, his playing record speaks for itself and demands respect.
Maybe...certainly don't have a problem with coaches dropping the f-bomb when needed!
Except in junior footy once there was a coach swearing at the oppo coaches+parents during the match, lowlife! (under 14's)
Anyway, it seems to work for Dew and crew!?
How dangerous is round 1..???
Need to be absolutely toey as all F# from Go to Whoa!

Betts, Sloane and NicNat stand out as great guys.
Seeing the stress Betts was going through away from his young family and then the Joy when they arrived at the hub just shows that it wasn't that easy on some of the players. Some would have done it easy but for others it would have been quite difficult.
Hardwick and Simmo were standouts with their professionalism and player relationships. Def well run teams.
Cameron on the other hand, OMG, Talks in riddles, get's puns mixed up and generally doesn't make a lot of sense. " All you guys sitting around here" everybody is standing?? Tell's Cog's they are dropping him, match committee decision you are not getting selected. Cog's basically cops it on the chin and has no response, not surprising. Then Cameron tells the playing group it was Cogs decision to be omitted. " We could have said he was rested or out with soreness but it was his decision to say he was omitted" ????
Poor Coniglio basically gets made captain to entice him to sign on for big $$$, even though he is not right for the position, then gets hit with Covid season as his first as captain while also being part of a reality documentary. Kid would have been so mind frizzled. I wish him a much better year this year.
Yep drop a decent coach into GWS and they would have won a premiership or 2 by now I think.
Nicks and Dew boy are pretty good fits where they are. Dew in particular is the type of coach you WANT to play for.
Matt Rowel............................FREAK.
F--K we wasted last year.

Did they ride that bike simulation for 18-24 hours?
Thats how i interpreted that speech also.
4 eps in Simmo has got to be one of the best speakers in the AFL. Always seems to know what to say.
We are so lucky that he is our coach.

So if Gov takes up coaching after he hangs up his boots!!
There's not enough money in the soft cap to support Govs post-playing appetite in a coaching role.
Riding 120kms on an exercise bike to keep an injured young player motivated isn't enough for you? Bit harsh!
In fairness I hadn't seen that episode yet. The distance wasn't even the impressive part of that, it was the elevation.
Great series. I hope all the Simmo critics who go on about him being too friendly with players watch this and see his willingness to give them a spray when it's needed. As he said, he'll always have their backs publicly - and his fierce loyalty to them is one of his most obvious traits as a coach - but behind closed doors he won't cop poor standards. And you could just about apply the same description to the bloke who's coached three of the last four premierships. Maybe there's something in that?
Other thoughts:
- Simmo's spray in the hub about there being no nutritionist and senior players just doing whatever they wanted was interesting. That was around the same time Jetta was dropped after - from memory - a shocking performance against Port Adelaide
- Interesting to see Oscar Allen, Waterman, Duggan and Jarrod Cameron from memory in the chaplain group with Nic Nat
- As others have said, the Coniglio/Leon Cameron stuff was painful to watch. Cameron seems like he's completely lost the group and in a more normal season you'd think he might have been moved on. Part of me feels like we dodged a bullet by not recruiting Coniglio given it could have resulted in him becoming our captain - just doesn't seem suited to it at all. You need someone who can motivate and engage their teammates and Cogs seems far too insular
- Rory Sloane will win a lot of admirers. Crows are fortunate to have someone like him as their captain under these circumstances
- NN is an entertaining dude. Loved Simmo telling him to bash Reilly O'Brien for disrespecting him
- Stuart Dew just about best on ground for me, seems like a very funny and down to earth bloke

Yep you can just see him or Hardwick standing in front of the board of directors of a billlion dollar company motivating them.
Cameron on the other hand would struggle to motivate the staff of the local Hungry Jacks.
I think Cogs will grow into and become a very good leader, he's a young fella and needs a bit of time, he'll get there.

Team Captain
To be fair, I think the greatest motivational speak in the world would struggle to motivate the staff at any Hungry Jacks...
Lol.. can't win a trick with the purples!

Richmond fan?
Saw a tweet from a tigers fan with the list of leveryone he’d want to be coached by and had Simmo clumped up with Cameron as a no.
From the purple heads board
He doesn't seem like a natural leader to me.
He may or may not make a good leader but he has been given the job too early IMO.
im dissapointed there is no Cognilio with the fill your cup statue memes going around.
