The alternative is that you live in a bar. Eventually with my option you start to ignore that there's even a beer can there at all.
Or you die. Both ways solve the issue I guess.

Who are these people you speak of who expect us to significantly improve this year?Just on Simpson what exactly did people expect this year. We were actually lucky to win 3 games last year and that was with Kelly and Allen having career years. The two of them matching that output was 50/50 at best for this year. In those games we won or were competitive in senior players like Yeo, Shuey, Hurn and Cripps had big impacts.
So many people seem to expect the team to perform significantly better this year but we just don't have the cattle to execute the game plan. The game plan is seen in passages and the only issue i've seen so far is trying to push too far forward with the zone on behinds.
I've been saying for 18+ months that following the natural cycle that 2024 and 2025 will be our worst years.

Yeah same, I just don't care whenever he speaks now.He's very likely finished, and regardless of the cattle he doesn't have I'll be glad to see him go.
Let the tail wag the dog for too long, enabled poor standards, we need a new voice/face desperately

Yes. But you asked specifically “where did he speak of that?”Yes. And he disagreed with those people.
I agree. As many have mentioned, there are a bunch of players on the list that appear too comfortable and run a lot slower back to defend than they do to attack. That all comes down to coaching and standards.He's very likely finished, and regardless of the cattle he doesn't have I'll be glad to see him go.

I provided his exact quote.
Yep, and all those new Coaches are standing outside the gate just waiting for Simmo to go.He's very likely finished, and regardless of the cattle he doesn't have I'll be glad to see him go.

He starts badly? There is a big gap in logic here. We largely will have a colts team backed up by a few aging good players (but not superstars) and a bunch of WAFL level mid age players. The aim is to build a strong list over time (re-build) not to go well now or in 2025.There's no point sacking him with one year to go of his contract. Judge him on 2025 as that's the year I expect we do better.
Then if he starts bad in 2025 then sack him middle round.
I suppose that depends on the definition of reinvigorating.A caretaker can start the process of reinvigorating the list and shaking up the status quo.
Simmo seems checked out to me. I want the young guys to develop with the coach that is taking them back to finals.I suppose that depends on the definition of reinvigorating.
I take it to mean replenish the list with new faces, and those players now are held to standards and have youth / enthusiasm. My view is incorrect compared to the textbook definition.
However, the older players are cooked. The credits have been running too long. There is no reinvigorating of these players.
It's the draft, new players, and standards. There is no short-term fix. It's years and years.
May as well have Simmo, the caretaker, as whoever comes in now is on a hiding to nothing.
All I know is that pick 1 & 30 for years on end doesn't even come close to cutting it. You can't even replenish the (past quality) players going out.
I'm proud that we don't trade out aging stars.
All we have left therefore are handout picks and having to nail FA for quality every year.
And I do get that point of view. I just think finals is ummm... a fair few years away...2017 / 2018. Who knows.Simmo seems checked out to me. I want the young guys to develop with the coach that is taking them back to finals.
I agree that 2027/2028 is most likely. That would mean the coach has had two to three seasons with his team. Similar to Nicks at Adelaide (who should have played finals last year)And I do get that point of view. I just think finals is ummm... a fair few years away...2017 / 2018. Who knows.
