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

[eaglevision]

Hawthorn we able to pay $500 000 a year over 2 years for Clarkson.

I assume we will be the same.

Yeah it will depend on our soft cap spend. I’m sure the bean counters are smart enough to re-jig a few thinks to minimise the tax which would otherwise go straight to Norf. Pyke may as well do a direct bank transfer to them and cut out the middle man.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Simmo you have conducted yourself with absolute class especially last few weeks. Pity others within didnt so the same.

Garbage.

Apart from 3 players, club has been as classy as can be. Too classy infact

 

[CursoryMercenary]

His time had come, in fact it was well past due. Well done to him on his efforts, greatly appreciated.

Who will coach?

most likely an interim coach like schofield to the end of the year ...and then the club can put its best effort into finding the best candidate for the role

 

[Schmedit]

Cheers for the flag, imo always represented the club well. Sad the way it had to end but every great coach gets sacked in the end.

Onto the next one

 

[squashface]

Farewell and thank you, Simmo

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Playing group failed him tbh

Everyone failed each other

List managers, medical staff, players, hell even the WAFL staff

Simmo isnt the first or last person to get the sack here. He is and should just be 1 of many

Shortest statement in history

to sweeten the deal.

 

[just ask!!!]

Garbage.

Club has been too classy? Hmmm ok. Explain the fitness of players since covid? That leads to injuries and less fit players. Players couldnt run out games . Too many leaks to media over the time and not ONCE did he whinge moan like certain players do. Good luck for the next 10 years . Watch how many you lose over the next 3 years

 

[Crimson King]

Thanks for the premiership, Adam.

Will have a whopper today in your honour.

 

[Ghossein]

"he will coach this weekend as a farewell game"

can almost guarantee you he will be sinking pints at the pub instead

 

[ghostbat12]

Yeah it will depend on our soft cap spend. I’m sure the bean counters are smart enough to re-jig a few thinks to minimise the tax which would otherwise go straight to Norf. Pyke may as well do a direct bank transfer to them and cut out the middle man.

what if contract is substituted for a couple of HJ franchises. when they say mutually departed, its not sacked and therefore not paid out, right? mutually departed = gave up money....for HJ franchises

(seriously, how many HJ franchises is there left to open?)

 

[flyinghi64]

sad, disappointing but ultimately inevitable.

I was a Simpson supporter but the past month has proven, even to me, that the club and players need a new voice with new and fresh ideas at the helm.

Thanks for everything Simmo you will be remembered fondly, don't let how your time here ended be any reflection on what you achieved through the entirety of your time at the club.

Literally no leaks to the media. He was sacked without any leaks. Not even Caro knew

Rest is a coaching problem. If a coach isnt responsible for the training standards of his players he isnt much of a coach.

Based on your logic he shouldnt even turn up Mon-Fri. None of his responsibility?

hmmm he pretty much was the last person in that entire list you mentioned....some players have contracts but they will be gone soon too.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Thanks for the premiership, Adam.

Will have a whopper today in your honour.

Im having mine in Jack Williams honor. That guy is a walking Whopper goal

 

[DanWCE]

Thanks Simmo. Had some very fun years with you at the helm. Down skiing demolition jobs, an unlikely run in 15, an even more unlikely premiership in 18 amongst them.

Obviously an extremely talented motivator and communicator at his best, and I'm sure he will do well wherever he ends up.

Time for a fresh set of eyes, new voices and takes on the game. Let's see what these green shoots can become.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

hmmm he pretty much was the last person in that entire list you mentioned....some players have contracts but they will be gone soon too.

We still got 4 board members, entire WAFL staff and a few assistants to go. He is the middle of it all... I hope

 

[BeornJ]

Thanks for everything Simmo.

You'll forever be a club legend.

 

[WCEswift]

Was guaranteed really, much like in science, Nothing changes if nothing is changed

 

[larrikin]

Thanks Simmo. Class all the way

 

[new breed]

Schofield should have a six game trial surely , M Knights has had chances previously I think Schofield is a tough task master , give him until end of 2025 on lesser wage ..Might all be surprised.

 

[Ghossein]

Shortest statement in history

expect there will be more details to come

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Schofield surely until seasons end. Good chance to prove his worth.
