Cats fan and afl stooge.

Also has zero time for the Swans, unfortunate.
He's an AFL Stooge alright ... his 'State of the Game' diatribe a few years back which pretty much came out of nowhere and was championed almost unilaterally by Whately was effectively concocted so Steve Hocking could get his rule changes through.

Surely Simpson gets the sack this week? Surely. Out of the 10 biggest losses in Eagles history, 4 of them occured this season alone.


He won a premiership , seems to buy you endless credits.

They should get a new skipper as well imo.

They might go after Dean Cox

Sacking him now would be pointless and would set up the next coach to fail. Makes more sense to finish the season before tapping him on the shoulder. They also might realise there’s no quick fix and may give him another season rather than pay him out, since it probably won’t matter who’s in charge for at least another year.

What’s surprising to me is that Simpson doesn’t resign. Hanging around is humiliating and has ruined his legacy.

I'd be surprised if he gets another gig as headcoach after this? Dunno, he might feel that way and probably doesn't want to give up the coin by resigning.

The Weagles problems go way beyond the coach.

Having a senior leader say “I’m not going to play if I have to get a vaccine” (and the club saying that was ok) was the nail in the coffin.
 
Levi Casboult gets caught holding the ball.

Kelli: “free kick against the Swans”.
