Remember when Elsa was that little bub interviewing Simmo after the 2018 Premiership? The Pandemic really jumped us forward like five years in the blink of an eye.

Good write up on Simpson
Covers off what he did in the US and why and the change needed on his coaching as we begin a new phase
Great that he’s trying new things, I hope that translates into game day selections, and more positive attacking footy.
No more 100 point losses or 10 goals down before half time, I know injuries etc, etc, etc.
Chinese year of the Dragon, lucky colours for the year are yellow and blue, we could do with a bit of luck.

US College teams spend mega more. One doner to Uni of Missouri is $62M US (its for sport not education). 80k attendance at $2-500 a seat. Coach paid several time what Simmo is onGreat to hear that the modern day coaches acknowledge they need to learn how to communicate with a younger group. What worked 10 years ago may not work now as well and we seem to have a new generation being defined every 10 to 15 years.
Lots to learn from the USA and Europe on how things are done differently. Some US colledge teams likely have bigger budgets than we are allowed to spend so they would be years ahead of what we do here. And the Premier League club budgets are 100 times what we spend.
Let’s not get carried away! I believe that unless Simmo shows some rapid improvement, Pyke will have his papers signed. Any decent manager would already have contingency plans already well in place, and I’m sure that Pyke does.

Well of course, if he can't deliver any improvement then it'd be reasonable to look for someone else, especially considering the amount of off field changes that have been made.Let’s not get carried away!

Yep every off field change under the sun bar the senior coach!Well of course, if he can't deliver any improvement then it'd be reasonable to look for someone else, especially considering the amount of off field changes that have been made.
It used to, then Richmond did what no other club did before and changed the support staff instead of sacking the coach.Yep every off field change under the sun bar the senior coach!
The buck used to stop with the senior coach.
Hefty contract payout had a big say in this.
It’s step up or * off time!
Someone tell Norf and CarltankIt used to, then Richmond did what no other club did before and changed the support staff instead of sacking the coach.
3 premierships later, clubs are thinking that just maybe they can try other changes first, instead of simply sacking the head coach.
Times change.

Don't think so. When Gaff finally gets dropped to the WAFL then I can take Simmo a little more serious as a coach. Right now we have Gaff Cole Witherden and an underperforming Duggan in the line up. I want to see some of these seniors be shown the door. If not we are screwed and Simmo can go. We need games into younger players this season even if we done win many games. Same goes for Sheed. Perform or play WAFLCan we create a poll?
Will Adam Simpson be WC’s coach in 2025.

So let have a think about this hey! Let's show these Seniors the door and take 4-5 wafl players into the line-up.Don't think so.

Good points. Could add that 8 players on the weekend had played less than 20 afl games, 5 of those have played 0.So let have a think about this hey! Let's show these Seniors the door and take 4-5 wafl players into the line-up.
Firstly, that will leave a rather large hole in the wafl team to fill how?
Now we put these inexperienced players into the senior side to get smashed by hardened AFL players and annihilate their confidence and enthusiasm for the future ala Harley on the weekend. ( We are lucky he is living up to the hype) and set the rebuild back a few more years.
We need those AFL experienced players in the side to take the heat off the young guys we are already blooding.
It will take time to rise to the top again but let's do it properly, you just need to get used to losing for a while.
