Get Woosha in. Best human in WCE history. He can coach man on man and nothing else. Break from this toxic deadline s**t for the rest of the year then we can change it out at the end of the year. Get him to mentor these blokes and be accountable.

It's a graphical representation of team form from the Squiggle algorithm.
It's been suggesting we are garbo for quite some time, but we're plumbing new lows this year.
The discussion on height was triggered by the claim that Waterman is too short to be a key forward. The point I was trying to make is that if you compare him to the likes of Dunstall or Lockett, his height isn't an issue... it's his other attributes. IMHO, both of those guys would have still been great forwards in the modern era, because they were strong, fast, great contested marks and smart footballers who knew how to lead. They sure wouldn't have kicked 100 goals a season, but I reckon they would still have been successful.
Waterman has none of those attributes.
Yep;sad isnt it? Its been replaced by "THE DIVE".

Good to see Kane Cornes slamming our strength and conditioning staff, the clubs professionalism and the obesity epidemic our players are suffering from. Voices of big footy only go so far, but mainstream media should be hitting home at HQ

Cornes is a ******* idiot
Agree, but at the Gabba it was 35c and 95% humidity at 8:30pm.
I was there and it was almost too hot to get beers…………almost.
We weren’t winning that one.

Controversial opinion - I like Cornes. Come at me campaigners.
I think most of his silly hot takes come from his desire to be a 'shock jock', not necessarily his own personal thoughts/beliefs. He's a product of the haters!

Nah u were sweating bullets just sitting at that game.. was a shocking night
True, but he gets a few calls per season right.
It just so happens that him questioning our players' conditioning is one of his few broken clock moments this year.

Kane Cornes was a talentless hack, that managed to get himself to 300 games, win a premiership, four club BnFs and two All Australians. All on the back of hard work. If our squad had a fraction of his work ethic, we wouldn't be 17th.
There are many times that his opinion is worth jack s**t. But in this case, not only is he probably right... but he knows from experience.
Complete lack of talent but at his peak was an excellent negating midfielder, racked up huge numbers and was excellent for dream team back in the day.
I cant see wce sacking simmo. Especially with 3 years (this season included) to go on his salary.
I think his problem he is too loyal to our experienced players. I wonder if what kingy said is correct and when that REBUILD switch is flicked we actually make the harsh calls on older and B GRADE players.
I think hes safe for now.
If we're 1-5 next year with the same ******* midfield with the same lack of defensive accountability but abundant credits then i give up.

Simpson may be loyal to senior players but they are not showing loyalty back e.g. rocking up with love handles, not being able to run out of site on a dark night, not giving a s**t, darling and anti vax stand off etc etc

Jaymie Graham? (if / when Simmo decides its time to go)
Sheedy the only one I can think of. Clarkson won in 08 and then 3 peat in 13/14/15 so maybe he qualifies. Not a big list however.
Our problem is we are stuck with a 2 year contract the club put in place with Simmo. Wouldn't be any issue to me if we paid him out and let him go as it's chump change to us but not sure how all that fits in this off field spending limits?
Like him as well as he tells it as it is instead of telling people what they want to hear. He is offensive to many these days because people hate the truth now.
Exactly! what we wouldn't give to have a group of players with his attitude to playing. We don't even have one player on our list that does it.
I think it is a 100% tax on overspending on the soft cap. If we sack him with two years to go and pay the whole amount (assuming $700k pa) then we go over the salary cap by approx $1.4M (it might be a bit less as a Rookie coach next year would get less than him). We then have to pay another $1.4M as a tax. It would cost approx $3M all up.
Sounds like a lot, but it seems like the club usually makes an extra $1-2M profit when they're playing finals and hitting membership records etc. It might actually cost them more to keep him.
What happened with Clarkson? Surely its outside the cap I would have thought?
