Past #7: Adam Simpson - 306 games for NM (95-09; 5th AT) - NM captain (04-08) - current WCE head coach

[TwentyNine]

Can I just say that Simpson is a terrific bloke and has done wonders for our club. You may hate us, but one of your own could well win coach of the year if we keep this up.

Stoked to have him here in the west.

Rightly so. He's an excellent coach. Would love to have him (and Rawlings) back at the NMFC.

We can never, NEVER let Boomer leave North.

Hear that Geoff, You must never let Boomer leave, because he'll never come back.

He'd end up coaching the tigers or the scum or some other bullshit like that and NMFC fans en masse will have to endure their games record holder rocking around in some s**t clubs colours.

It'd be too much to bare I tells ya.

Boomer coaching the Tigers is probably the worst of all possible future scenarios I can imagine. I would preferr a terminator style uprising any day of the week.

Probably ruck coach

Has beaten Nic Nat in a ruck contest.

 

[HTPunter]

Nothing will take away the pain from the loss, I'm not trying to say that.

But this guy bled for our club for 15 years, captained us, and helped bring 2 flags home to Arden Street.

I'm guessing I won't have much support tonight, but I'm sure through the week, we can all be happy for a guy who I for one have loved for the past 20 years.

Congratulations to Adam, all class he is, you can see the blue and white still in him with his pre-match interviews and post-match respect for Dal. Good luck next week.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Should still be in north colours *stern look*

 

[LT Smash]

Yeah big fan of Simmo, always have been, always will be. Tonight hurts, but I won't stay bitter for long. Simmo has done a great job with this team.

 

[Benno_900]

I wish Simmo all the best, but I can't accept his team winning the flag after tonight.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He's brought some class to that franchise.

 

[DarwinRoo]

At the moment "* Him"

 

[conwaynmfc]

I can still accept them beating the ******* Hawks.

 

[Dodecahedron]

Umpires were sheisen housen but I will be going for WC next week. A) because of Simmo and B) Hawthorn have 1 flog and 2 sniping dogs. I don't need to spell it out.

 

[King Corey]

Couldn't give a *.

I support North Melbourne not the franchises our ex-players coach against us.

 

[nelroo]

Couldn't give a s**t about Simmo..
He coaches the opposition. When he finishes his coaching career, I may congratulate him and remember him as a North great.

 

[triplegee]

Classy thread.

Thank you HTPunter - as a long time Eagles supporter I wasn't sure what to expect with Adam Simpson.

Thank christ he was a principled man with ethics.

Your club played a role in that & we will be forever thankful.

 

[wer2big4qld]

At the moment "**** Him"

I for 1 2nd that

 

[Gasometer]

His helicopter blind kicks at North has left a legacy that is evident in our mids today.

He is the Coach of the best resourced team in the AFL.

What do you expect?

I can't believe I am even wasting ink on posting here...and yes thats the taste of sour grapes.

 

[Groucho]

* him! Though my wife still says "captain oh my captain".

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Might still have to face a Senate inquiry into corruption in the AFL yet, not saying it's his fault but could be a witness in the investigation.

 

[HTPunter]

I wish Simmo all the best, but I can't accept his team winning the flag after tonight.

Why? His side didn't make the umpiring decisions. Hell, even the Shuey high, which was terrible decision, he didn't duck or whatever. I thought the Eagles played well, nothing against them tonight?

[Whereitallbegan]

He can GAGF'd. Any ex player that defects to another team can get stuffed, any player that coaches a club that knocks us out of the finals (particularly a prelim) can doubly get stuffed.

If you are not at North, you are not worth shite

 

[Northworth]

Congratulations Simmo
good luck next week!

 

[numchuks]

Loved him at North but he stooged us with McDonald.

So stuff him.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Too soon.

 

[Roo-Boy]

It hurts when we get burt by ex North Melbourne people

 

[GazzaRoo]

We weren't good enough tonight so congrats to the eagles. Simmo is a great bloke that owes us nothing and for the many years of great service an overwhelming joy he gave us he'll always deserve our respect.

 

[Spitta09]

Good bloke from a good club now the enemy at a scum club. At present hes now irrelevant to us as far as im concerned
