Duggan walking as fellow players ran past him was telling for me. He also picks and chooses when to make effort.

Yeah he won't coach WC beyond this yearWould I be right in saying g now that there are so many voices now talking Simpson being sacked that it is actually happening whether it's now or the end of the year?
Why was that call on him?Why isn't it his fault? A lot of rewriting history. The injury crisis was completely on the club. If simpson had his way, then the same old boys club would have been running the performance management.

Yes that's exactly when it happened.Wasn't it after the Bulldogs game and then we went on our little run of being competitive?
One of the modern mysteries like us beating the pies in 2022.If any can be ****ed, look at the matches vs Dockers and Dees at Optus. Stark contrast to the last two games. Wonder what happened![]()
Umm, I think you said exactly that -Lol I never said it was sumich or Simpson and nobody else.
Run along little child.
What was the timeline like with Simmo's appointment/Woosha's departure?If the club decide to move Adam on I hope they wrap up the new coach appointment well before the trade period. We need some certainty within the ranks if we intend on being active in bringing players across.
The club would already have a little folder of prospects they've been keeping tabs on, to do otherwise after the past few seasons would just be reckless.
Agree, or the club makes a public statement saying he will see out the remaining games and exit. But we might still have to endure deplorable performances for that duration?I kinda liked that we’ve never sacked a coach mid season and the reality is that since we pushed Todd out at the end of 1989 we’ve only properly sacked one coach (Judge) since.
Malthouse bailed to Collingwood with a year still to run on his contract. Judge was judged and was properly sacked. Worsfold was a mutually agreed parting of the ways that was presented as him resigning which saved the club from firing him.
There would be very few people anywhere that think Simpson will be coaching West Coast in 2025. I don’t think even he believes he will be
So the only question now is what can be gained by him staying on for the last 7 games. I don’t think it’s doing the club, the players, the coaches or Simpson himself prolonging this any longer
Give him this weekend to coach what will be his 243rd game in charge, drawing level with Malthouse for games coached at West Coast, and the fans can thank him for what he has done before the club moves on
Get the ball rolling in the search for his replacement and roll out some different looks to see what players can offer when given an opportunity or played in a different position
Questions on his coaching are only going to grow louder if nothing is done
I’ve always been a fan of Simpson’s and supported the decision to keep him on for this year but sadly the time has come for a new coach to take over

Disagree, we need to be playing the long game with list management, a new coach would be more keen on a short term sugar hit for their own sake.If the club decide to move Adam on I hope they wrap up the new coach appointment well before the trade period.

First week of October - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/oct/04/west-coast-eagles-appoint-adam-simpsonWhat was the timeline like with Simmo's appointment/Woosha's departure?
I feel like Simmo was in place by the time the trade period came around so at least it's been done before - but could be wrong.
Listening to SEN now and a listener wrote in to say that the Eagles board members are arriving at Mineral Resources park....
Make of that what you will.
May be nothing in it.
This is worth a watch.
I was there, still can't work it outOne of the modern mysteries like us beating the pies in 2022.
They'd probably yell back "we'll own it"I actually saw Paul Fitzpatrick and Ben Wyatt walking up Jolimont Terrace outside the ‘G after the captains run on Saturday. Was inclined to yell out “Gents, what happens to Simmo if we get towelled up again tomorrow?”
Kind of regret not doing so now. Though I’m sure they would have either ignored it or played a straight bat with some “we’re expecting a response” platitude.
I'd almost prefer this midfield mix right now. get all the lazy players out. at least we got effort out of that lot.It's pretty obvious how we won.
We had a stacked midfield lineup and bench take a look. We can only dream of having this midfield.
We had Redden, Nelson, Edward. With XON and West rotating through.View attachment 2043080

Stellar journalism
So many examples of poor efforts.Wow.
I knew our pressure and care factor was low but that really shows how bad it is.
He basically ran through 7 players and not one changed trajectory to tackle on the wing. All ran past him.
Whether or not that's a coaching issue or not is t the issue, it's going to cost Simpson his job because it's been a consistent thing Simpson has been unable to or unwilling to deal with.
