Opinion Simpson to the Roos BS

[avishka5]

I love the fact that our club is so cashed up that we will always have the funds to retain a coach.

Financially Arrogant.

We should just buy North and make sure they finish 9th every year.

Mods, lock thread tks.

Love that from Simmo.

“Don’t even call me you irrelevant campaigners.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

“Ok, ok, I’ll hear you out. How much are you offering? Double it.

And my answer is still no.”

Gone by the bye, fold the club!

“I think they know where I stand with it all,” Simpson said.

“It’ll be old news pretty quickly for me. We’ve got a lot on our plate as it is. I’m really happy where I’m at.

“I’m contracted and I’m really happy where I am. I’m at the start of a four-year contract and we’ve just come off a premiership. So, I’m happy where I’m at.”



Enough said.

A bit different to Longmire's responses!

 

[Astro7]

Three peat first, then, begrudgingly, he may go.

my sentiments too...way to go!

North are nuts if they go for Horse. He strikes me as a bloke who is having trouble keeping up with the tactical side of the game and they need a coach who will mentor and shape a new generation of players - club stalwart and legend who comes in with the expectation of immediate success would be bad news. They need to go find the pick of the litter from the next generation of assistants etc.

It is pretty concerning. It's not like the Swans are suffering from a lack of young talent coming through.

 

[Boohemian]

So, from current assistant coaches, who would be most likely? Longmuir? Caracella?

Mitchell gets plenty of attention, but surely he needs to serve a decent apprenticeship first.

If Burns doesn't get a go soon, he'll miss his window. Surely he's a look.

Sounds like a big part of the reason the Kangaroos don't want Scott anymore is that they want to bottom out properly and rebuild. I'm not sure on what basis Longmire would be the best candidate for that. Sydney have picked up plenty of quality juniors over the last few years who aren't coming along as well as expected.

If I was in the Kangas position I wouldn't be looking at any of the current gettable AFL coaches. Pick one of the highly rated assistants from another club, give him licence to do his thing and if it doesn't work out maybe don't wait 10 years to try again.

I think you're right, but they should probably ask Melbourne or Carlton about how effective bottoming out is.

Of if they want to go global why don't they go and ask the 76ers about The Process.

I agree. There are too many other multipliers that offset the benefits of gaining the best junior talent. When you're a good team, players from other teams want to play for you, memberships and sponsorships are easier to sell, good experienced players make the transition to the top level easier for younger players, you get your pick of assistants etc.

Now look a club like Carlton. Even if you thought you were the best coach in the universe, would you want to stake your career on taking on that job?

Deeply, deeply held self-loathing.

I do have my tin foil hat on, and I reckon the Vic media might be throwing this up and around to throw us off our game.

An "I might move" situation, regardless if it's a real situation or not, makes for unstable team spirit. Not saying that it'd work but hey.

 

[Bender_]

North aren't financially stable enough to bottom out, they'll loose the piddly members they already desperately need.

But in saying that, luckily they have the safety net of our financial success to keep them afloat.

No media conspiracy with this one. It’s a natural connection for them to make for a past club champion successfully coaching elsewhere to be considered as an option for the now vacated coaching position

If they persist with it over the coming months however

Disagree. I don't think North are in as bad of a position as it is being made out.

To be fair, most of the media I have seen has been along the likes of "Simpson would be top of their list but no chance". And rightly so.

Think people are getting a bit tin foil hat about this one.

I think that the Roos need to have a complete clean-out of coaching staff and recruiting personnel.
The mindset over the past few years has been the main problem. They have tried too nab other teams players and have chosen badly.
Bring in a couple of young guns like Caracella and Burns and top up with a bit of experience like Ratten. Not necessarily those guys. but of that ilk.
They need to develop young talent and have the right eyes to identify it.

 

[bombard]

Disagree. I don't think North are in as bad of a position as it is being made out.

I don't think they're heading to a spoon or anything like that, but I do struggle to see how this core of blokes comes anywhere near pushing for a flag. Also runs in the finals at best I think. Gaffy wouldn't have massively fixed that, either.

 

[donpyke92]

Now we should not be too cruel. If you needed a date and had the phone number for Miranda Kerr/Kendall Jenner/Gisele Bündchen, would you make the call?

Of course you would - never get if you don't ask. Just ask Tom Brady.

Now what are my chances with one of them saying yes?

About the same as Simmo saying yes.

What more could Simmo want? Kids are settled, built a new house near the beach (and not to be confused with that shitty bay they call a beach in Melbourne), new club facilities, team play in front of 55k each week, built a winning culture, has a quality list (OK so we still need to learn to draft midfielders), more flags looking likely in the next 5 years.

Comparing Simmo to Gisele Bundchen...I can buy that with my love for the great man.
But North and Tom Brady? . Gisele might've asked him out?
Know that's not what you mean, just jokes. AFL example of 'you never know you're luck'...

North have less chance of landing Simmo, but may as well do a Clayton's offer.
Would be a miracle.

Better chance of getting kicked to death by a snake.

What kind of snake? One that bakes?
