Great news but no flag sees him behind Woosh as coach.

woosh only won a flag because he had without a doubt the greatest midfield to ever play in the league

his results from 2007 onwards proves that point.

simpson winning a flag this year would put him ahead of woosh in terms of coaching achievements.

Completely agree.

Be interesting if woosh wins one with the bombers though...

Are you taking the drug fiasco and Juddy leaving into account..
Don’t want to talk about it too much but impact on the club was disastrous ..

Kinda wish they waited until after the finals series to extend his contract. Can envisage some epic melts if things don't go well
 
Simmo gets a good pump up by Malthouse in the HS.

Adam Simpson, to me, was only just pipped as coach of the year by Hardwick. The Eagles were expected to slide this season. Instead they’ve blooded several young players and adjusted to a new home ground. They lost Nic Naitanui again to injury, and had last year’s Coleman medallist Josh Kennedy in and out of the side, and still excelled.

Simpson has a calming influence on his team. No job appears too big, no loss too great. He enjoys a win no less than his players, but he is able to refocus very quickly.

He has unearthed some ripping young talent this season — Liam Ryan, Liam Duggan, Daniel Venables, Tom Cole and Willie Rioli, and in the absence of Kennedy, Jake Waterman has been excellent.

The Eagles are expertly led on the field by quiet achiever, Shannon Hurn.

With the growth of Scott Lycett, Jack Darling, Brad Sheppard, Luke Shuey, Elliot Yeo and Chris Masten, West Coast has a complete team.

Simpson is defensively minded and defence wins finals. Importantly, the Eagles know how to kick goals, too, having averaged 91.5 points per game. But they also know their finals opponent has a wonderfully credentialed and multi-pronged forward line that must be nullified.

Suma and Hardie on 6pr mentioned Schofield more than likey going to WC instead of Port.
Is Schofield that big a deal? Not a rhetorical question - genuinely interested.

He’s left Subiaco hasn’t he? Yet didn’t they just go the whole season undefeated or something? Is it because of him or are they just inherently dominant?

He's still coaching them this year but will be leaving to pursue AFL.

His record at Subiaco is stupid good. Yes, they've been dominant and brought in good players, but Schofield has been a significant part of their dominance, of that there is no doubt.

This blokes coaching win/loss record is incredible.
2014: 9th : 11W 11L
2015: 2nd : 16W 5L 1D
2016: 6th : 16W 6L
2017: 8th : 12W 10L
2018: 2nd : 16W 6L
Average finishing position: 5th
Coaching W/L Record: 71 W 38L 1D : 65%

He has had an influence on Ryan, Venables, Rioli, Cole and Duggan (drafted from 2014-2018) making our current best 22.

He has assisted the club in making trades for Redden, Jetta and Vardy.

He is responsible for telling gov he is too fat.

What can this guy do?
We need a flag to top it all off

Even if we don't win a flag under Simmo's reign I'd back his tenure to be more successful than the purple cousins down the road with Ross The Sexual Harassment Boss.

With 18 teams it's not reasonable to expect flags every year, and this season shapes to be Richmond vs the rest.
