Coach Adam Simpson Megathread est. 2017 - Skip to 2024: Simpson coaching tenure officially ends

[CursoryMercenary]

I'll always wonder about Simmo's last contract, it was even addressed on AFL 360 last night. Seemingly it was given during the 2021 season but it was so hush-hush and not addressed publicly. That contract was a killer, it's right alongside the Kelly trade in my opinion.

IMO absolutely disgraceful behaviour and a total lack of respect for a Premiership coach and someone who apart from anything else seems like a decent human being.

Yep his tenure ended poorly, but obviously The West making it clear you don't mess with Pinnochio's penis.

The pic at the top of your page of Simmo holding up the Cup is a proper tribute and one that if The West had any class could have replicated, you know 'thanks' rather than 'see ya'.

It's unnecessary yeah agreed.

It was totally brought on by Simpson himself though, you don't mess with the newspaper as they will always have the last say.

Having a go at woodcock in the press conference however true or meaningful it was brought this on.

And lest face it...when you look at it in plain black and white and red like that....geez
It was ****ing dire and deserved his sacking a hundred fold. The only surprise is it wasn't sooner.

Thank you to you (here) and other non-Eagles fans (elsewhere) for calling this out for exactly what it is - utterly disrespectful garbage. I have low expectations of our tabloid of a paper but somehow they managed to even fail those. What a disgrace.

Seems that Simmo’s request fell on deaf ears. Which is unsurprising as the flogs at the West were likely affronted by his broadside at Woodcock.

I was going to have a crack at their Twitter post but realised that is exactly what they want in terms of engagement and clicks. Just don’t engage and let them continue sinking into the media mire.

Simpson needs to wake up

 

[UseR2006]

is this his real account though?

Yes it is, can confirm the post is legit.

Why do eagles cry Covid and Freo dont? What were the eagles exposed to that Freo wasnt? Seriously it's embarrassing.

Once the dust has settled and Simmo has had some time off and away, what I would love is for him to give an in-depth recalling of what happened within the walls of the club since the '18 GF from his point of view.
All the decisions that where made to get us to where we are today.

I have no issue with him and think he has been a wonderful coach but the time came and the right call was made. I just think there is a fascinating story to be told here, and we the supporters, not deserve, I think that's the wrong word, but need an explanation from those actually involved and who were major decisions makers of how the club got us to this point.

Anyways thanks Simmo all the best with whatever comes next

If I’m don pyke I’m restricting any access to players the west has and telling the new coach to refuse to answer any questions from stick dick at any pressers next year.

It’s a two way street, you want access show some respect.

Absolutely that would be great to hear. But knowing the man he wouldnt lower himself to the standards of some within the club.

We can only hope that is the case.

That's why Dusty has very little to do with the media. The media earn an income by "sort of telling the truth & sort of lying"...

Having said that, some people in the media are good but some.....I have no words.

Players & coaches just cop it from the media and it's relentless. There's a human element involved here and the media simply don't care.

Plus, likely to be a NDA in place after his payout.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Curious to see if there are any clear changes in selection policy and game plan under Schofield for the rest of the season.
Surely he will want to audition for the top job next year.

They don't care because they make money from it, and they make money from it because people keep reading or viewing it.

The only winning move is to not play ie don't give them your money or website hits. Everyone that posts a news.com.au or West Australian link is contributing to the problem, even if it's solely to laugh at the audacity.

It's obviously not legal to post ways on here to get around a paywall, but I am sure you can figure out what you need to do.

Because absolutely nobody cares or remembers what Freo were doing between roughly 2016 and 2022?

To be perfectly honest this is how I felt about Simmo by the end.

The flag was a distant memory.

Sure, the see ya is a bit harsh but felt like he just didn't seem interested or willing to try anything.

"Thanks for the premiership, but farewell" it should've just said maybe

If he wasn't signed to that weird contract he'd is probably sacked end of 22, mid 23 latest

From memory I think we were the only Afl team to have to play top up players a couple of times and barely fielded a full Afl team at other times. Some media suggested some games should have been postponed and unfair we had to play.
We lost against the Kangaroos with i think three top up players.
I don't think Freo had to play Wafl top up players.

In b4 Schofield brings in Gaff and Sheed....

As a Pies supporter with no dog in this fight, this is deplorable. The media in Perth certainly set the standard for bottom of the barrel scum.

Imagine it.

The nuffies would keel over.

 

[Cuzz09]

I really hope Schofield makes a statement dropping guys, giving young guys a shot for long stretch, etc

but ready for "we need some stability and senior heads bring that"

I just listened to it backwards and it’s clearly a Satanic message…

It said "Adam is dead" over and over

Black armbands for Simmo this week?
