News Simpson sacked

[TheKanga]

Yeah, Hamish Brayshaw said that on his podcast with Will Schofield a few days ago. He said it's gonna take like five years for the list to even be competitive again so good luck to the next bloke who takes over.

Hopefully you nail the rebuild coach at least and don't end up with a dud or the wrong personality to develop young players.

 

[TheKanga]

Yeah, it was definitely Bailey Williams, Simmo almost brushes the paper he had in his hand past Bailey's shoulder on the way through and everything. Had absolutely nothing to do with Reid and whoever does say it's about Reid are just bad faith arguing him into another angle to bring him back to Victoria.

Yeah Bailey's body language says it all and a the people in front turn around to look at him.

Must of been one of the players texting about Simmo.

I have a pair of $4000 studio headphones and he definitely said 'you had your say'.

Sennheiser guy:

You overspent.

 

[Beerfish]

You overspent.

Sure did.

 

[matthew_s]

Sure did.

I wanna know what imaginary pair of “studio” headphones you “bought” so me and all my audio nerd friends can snicker.

 

[MadMundy]

As fun as it is to see West Coast in shambles for once, seeing Simpson call out The West was good to see, it's about time people started holding them accountable for their "journalism" if you can even call it that.

I think you're missing the point.

No, I’m just invested. It’s infinitely more interesting than the rest of this thread

, they aren't doing anything for 3 years anyway so they might as well destroy another club at the same time

Yeah, those are hearing aids, brother.

I was astounded about how much everyone went on about it, at the end of the day what did he actually say?

Simpson cited COVID again yesterday. At the end of the day COVID impacted the Eagles more than most clubs at the very least and the Eagles response at the time was certainly questioned. Surely thats about the leaders at the time. If you were happy with our clubs leadership during that time then that's fine I guess.

How the West Coast Eagles went from AFL premiers to the wooden spoon

The Eagles were kings of the AFL in 2018 but have sunk to the bottom of the ladder.

MM were on the same side here but I don’t agree with your view. The relationship between West Coast and the West Australian has been nothing short of scandalous. The West has carried the Eagles for ever, discarding their souls of fair and balanced reporting. All I saw yesterday was Homer having a sook and the West letting West Coast know who’s the boss. If Freo weren’t in the top 4 and behaving the West would have diverted attention away from Homer put it on Freo. Homer brought this on himself because his employer is in bed with the devil, he should have known better.

I rolled my eyes when he brought that up again.

That was the turning point for them. They whinged much more than Freo about getting stuck over in QLD. It may have impacted them more because they were older and had kids and a wife back home, but Freo had a bunch of teenagers and 20 somethings. Melbourne then had more extreme lockdowns than the rest of the country.

I don't think leadership was even close to the main reason why we struggled that year.

More players got dropped by COVID than any other team - remember when they could hardly field a side?

Then a huge spate of ‘injuries’…although that could have been positive tests, every young mans way of dealing with a loss of liberty.

I remember these articles from Covid! The headlines varied wildly depending on if the players were Vic based or “interstate”.

 

[Rotayjay]

All will be forgotten in 18 months once the next big coaching job is available. Theres multiple head coaches at their 2nd job in the league right now, most didn't win a flag either.

I'd take Simpson in a heartbeat.

 

[Eternal Schism]

Simpson will get another gig. It'll be at a stage where no proven coaches are available, honestly he wouldn't be a bad fit taking over an experienced list that needs a change in plan. You'd rather go for someone like him who is a premiership coach over people who are untested.

Focal Utopia?

I'm a sennheiser guy, HD800. Also LCD3 (2013 so classic), HE6 & a KEF LS50 Bookshelf speakers.

Does beerfish seem like the kinda guy to put up with the broken headbands?

 

[Toump Ass]

All subjective but I really like my dt990s, $150 second hand. Sennhesier HD25' are cheap as shit and I really like those too.

not a fan of the studio sennys I had.

Tried ultra spenny cans but not really worth it imo.
