How long does Adam Simpsons have left?

[mcfazza28]

You'll have spoon #2 to remember shortly.

You take the rough with the smooth. We’ve been spoilt as a supporter base. I hope you guys get your turn with some success.

lol many could have said the same about us for a long time.

 

[maskmcgee]

Maybe the premier of WA can threaten to nationalise the Eagles if they dont sack Simpson

hasn't been the some player since he knocked Brayshaw out!

Nobody should be scoring 200 with today's defensive setups.

This is an equivalent to a 300 point smashing in the 80s.

 

[Blue1980]

The tanking is becoming pretty obvious with the lack of effort, selections, poor coaching and players missing for illness/injuries other clubs would play through. AFL probably needs to start thinking about what punishment WC tankers should get, lose 1st or 2nd round pick or both?

People throw around tanking word too offen. What possible reason is there to tank?

 

[Mikey13G]

He needs to go. You can't be getting flogged by 100+ points consistently at AFL level and expect to keep your job. West Coast are an embarrassment.

 

[Cuzz09]

Port Adelaide 2011 territory now, 122 and 171 points in succession, Port had 138 and 165 in succession. And at that point for Port there was serious talk of them folding.

That's coz they were poor.

What if he is burnt out and/or the players are tired of him?

I’m what other industry would they sack a manager because the workers are ‘tired’ of him?

What a weak excuse. It’s something you’d expect Carlton to do.

 

[wagstaff]

Only thing that is keeping him in his job is that the home crowds gave remained strong, showing that fans have kept faith.

 

[Truetiger]

Would have to ask Melbourne and the AFL that. Good question though.

 

[Gavin Excell]

The whole football department and club executives too. How can a club as rich and proud as WCE crash and burn so hard. I think if this club ever recovers in the future, they should change their name to Phoenix.

Because they have woefully managed the list

 

[Maylandsman]

Is the clock even ticking?
The Eagles board have their heads so far up their ring holes they won’t see it.
All matey mate a we’ll be right.

And you will have another wasted season to rue shortly

Clearly the guy can coach.

The fall from there in two years has been cataclysmic

In 2013 they were 13th, in 2015 they were in a GF and had beaten the premier in a QF.

It’s in the space of two seasons that this has gone truly pear shaped. 4 losses by over 100, but by quite a lot over. I think he can coach, but something is seriously wrong there.

I keep hearing about the injuries, but what is it exactly? Is it that? I wouldn’t really consider Sydney that good this year. They may just sneak into the 8, MAY sneak in. WC are at crisis levels.

Apparently two sides prior to WC of this year have had a percentage below 50 since 1956; Fitzroy in 96, GWS in their first year.

 

[Foucault1989]

Can't believe there's talk of priority picks. Never a more undeserving team for a priority pick.

Well a managers responsibility at a workplace is to get their team to perform. If their team isn't performing, then ????

 

[Young Redleg]

If Dean Bailey lost his job after the 186 point thumping against the cats in 2011, then Adam Simpson should step down after tonight's performance. Melbourne were actually semi-competitive throughout most of 2011. I can't say the same about West Coast this year.

It's drafting plan in simple and list management

 

[Yellow Feathers]

It’s not like the list doesn’t have talent or leadership. Complete lack of effort and disregard for their follow team mates.

Is that the coach’s responsibility? I’ll let you decide.
