Coach Adam Simpson Megathread est. 2017 - Staying for 2024, Lyon’s Cryin’

[Miguel Sanchez]

Was a joke back then but could eventuate

Bit of a sad state of affairs when we’re looking to Freo, of all clubs, to find some much-needed front office acumen to poach.

Duggo would be a great captain. Not sure on Barrass though, as it seemed to affect his game whenever he took the reigns this year.

Two important thing me about choosing a captain is are they good enough to be selected every week and can they change momentum mid quarter.

Duggan will be likely be best 22 for the 2 years but is not screaming absolutely. There is nothing I have seen on field to suggest he is nothing but a nice guy.

Can never really know from outside looking in, but to me it would look like Oscar (for captain) is a no brainer.

Changing momentum mid quarter doesn't have to be his own play but recognising a problem and rallying the boys to adjust. Nick Maxwell is a premiership captain after all.

What if the problem is the captain shanking the ball every second kick and turning the ball over?

I'm not advocating for Duggan to be captain

 

[DanWCE]

Duggan a nice guy on the field? Maybe only because he executes the bump to perfection without catching opponents high. He was absolutely flushing people this season and leaving them broken on the floor. Was great viewing.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Oscar should be a lock as skipper with Barrass as his deputy. Forget Duggan.

Would have been nicer if he did this first qtr and set the tone instead of sniping blokes off when we were 15 goals in arrears in the last qtr.

Good, clean hits but they just seemed unneccessary by that stage.

Agree - ever seen signs from Liam doing that?

Wot.... We won the game he rearranged the GWS guy's shoulder.

Have you heard barrass talk? The guy is a drongo. Good at football, but can't be captain. Maybe deputy works but that could elevate him to full time going by history

That's interesting. I have always enjoyed listening to TB, to me he comes across as a well considered person who thinks a little differently to other footy players and gives honest insights.

TB was a smart cookie at Hale, and had an ATAR score of 98.3. A dumbarse he ain't...

My youngest used to mix in the same circles, and said that Tom was one of the good guys.

 

[kaII]

The club has a hard on for backline captain's, but Allen is the obvious choice. Duggan may be internally rated but he isn't consistent enough on field for it to be an inspiring tone setter for the next generation of the club. Anything other than Allen as captain is a disappointment for mine

Allen has to be the captain IMO.

Nothing more uplifting than seeing your captain take a mark and kick a crucial goal.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

Had a chat to my immediate relative who works at 7/The West. The Garlick story is total bull****. Pure clickbait. Even the editor was laughing at what a stretch it was. As much as it would be good if it was true that we had an highly rated and experienced operator on the line to replace Nisbett.

Further to this

Tom is studying a double major in chemistry and philosophy at the University of Western Australia. His interests in the physical sciences lie in the fields of neuroscience, classical physics and quantum mechanics. His philosophical interests are concerned with ethics, epistemology, philosophy of mind and metaphysics. Despite their confronting descriptions, he appreciates and intends to understand the real world application of these topics in his own and others lives to uncover personal or organisational systems of value.

He is no dumbarse......

Agreed, no arguments there - but the OP implied that TB wasn't smart enough to be a leader. This plainly is not true.

Good listen in it's entirety but interesting little bit on Simmo around the 55min mark, albeit brief.
