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

[eagles rule]

If and a Big If we can manage a few 4 quarter games we will be competitive and possibly win a few games and build self belief and confidence on the way to becoming the Baby Eagles ..

If we can limit the injuries I'd say we will have more "good" 15 min periods in games.

Whether we take advantage of that is to be seen.

V Adel in the 2nd and 3rd we controlled decent chunks of the qtr, kicked a couple but then we're scored on heavily when they got momentum.

Hopefully we can take advantage of momentum when we get it and notice when teams have a run on how to address it.

Simmo doesn't seem too quick on that one

Interesting he said last year (concerning our list) that our plan last season if we could get Nic Nat fit and get the others fit namely Gov, Shuey & Yeo that we could have another tilt at it.

Tilt at what a flag? the guy was clearly deluded about the state of the list.

I think we might start seeing this in the back half of the season IF we can keep the majority of the starting 22 on the park.

First half of the season I expect to see a clusterfluck of inconsistency. Wouldnt be surprised to watch us jump a supposed premiership contender one week only to get rolled by Norf by 100pts the following week.

It 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.

Yes times do change and one now has to wonder why senior coaches are being paid so much yet they have such little responsibility. It's always someone elses fault now.

Surely they don't pay these senior coaches huge money just to talk to the media.

Am wondering with Sydney ticking along nicely in contention if it means that Cox will be thinking Longmire won't be in a hurry to hand the reigns on to the heir apparent. I wonder if that means he's gettable?

I know we're trash but we're WELL into the rebuild and a good coach might enjoy taking us from the bottom to the top, especially a club legend.

I wonder if he is a good coach - I have seen no discussion of his ability.

The rebuild is going better than we could have hoped.

Percentage behind last year's grand finalists with a game in hand.

Lock the man in before Tassie poach him

Truly courageous decision to announce early that he’s dropping Gaff, what a man!
Only 2 years too ****ing late Simpo you useless ****!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Consistency is important for posters too.

 

[Shuestar13]

Absolutely charming Embarrassing to be honest. I would be ashamed to produce such garbage, even on an (mostly!) anonymous forum such as this.

You need to go support another team Brother.
Concerned about your health following WC, they are going to give you Ulcers.

 

[Forward Press]

Quite amusing as well considering their username is directly related to the guy that was at least partially responsible for it.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Has anyone yet posted something like Simmo still hasn't dropped a best 22 player because Gaff isn't best 22?

Nah, you're welcome to claim that one if you like.

100%
They'll still flog us though

We were flogged by Hawthorn by over 100 last year. Any team can flog us imo, we're that far behind the pack...can even see North beating us by 40+. Hopefully that changes at least. My main hope for 2024 is we just go from being historically terrible to just regular terrible.

Give yourself an uppercut you muppet

 

[frenchconnection]

Personally I think the only way we win a game this year is if the other team is having a very "Off day".
My only hope is that the floggings will stop and we are competitive.

One just has to wonder how we got this bad (injuries aside) considering we won a flag in 2018. It’s okay to slide but to slide this bad beggars belief. I just can’t help but think this lies at the feet of Simmo and his style of coaching.

Simmo talked earlier this year about expecting us to challenge for a flag last year when waiting for nicnat,Shuey etc to return.
He's deluded and still thinks his game plan works and the old players are going to deliver again.
Time for him to move on with them.

Link or is it all in your imagination again?

Of course Simmons thought we were a flag chance after finishing 17th

What?

He’s repeatedly said we’re in for some tough times and he’s just dropped one of those old players.

He said it on 7 news last week - one more chance of getting the "band back together" if everyone was fit.
