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

[Crimson King]

I hope you find a home at another club as an assistant somewhere, or else fade gracefully into retirement.

He probably has enough juice left in him to take a talented list to premiership contention again. He just can't do full rebuilds.

 

[DanWCE]

Don't be late, Simmo, I've got a meeting at 1!

 

[Boohemian]

I’d just like to thank all the members of the public that called for change. Thank you.

Oh get a grip. Or maybe loosen it. Whatever - stop dancing on a guy's grave.

 

[RookiePick]

Its time to change coaches but I am dirty at the senior players for letting the coach down.

The players have a lot to answer for. There should be more than a few having sleepless nights now the wheel is turning.

Just watching Hutchinson hit contests and stick tackles on the weekend shows how far off the pace the vast bulk of our players are in their mindset and approach to the game.

 

[Ghossein]

imagine if they announce a new coach and this dude walks out

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Imagine thinking for one second the club cares what the public think. They’ve not bowed to public pressure once in the history, they’re the most insular and financially insulated club in footy.

Take your victory lap and we’ll see you in a few years.

We are the wokest club in the AFL. We do care about public opinion… maybe too much given how much we bend over for the AFL and our complete lack of fight against the WAFC

just dont.

 

[Gazeah78]

I think this might actually be a wake-up call for a few blokes.

Simmo and his credits are gone. If you want a gig in the seniors you gotta impress the new guy, now.

There would be some nervous senior blokes right now.

I thought it ironic that apparently senior players were texting and unhappy. Well I hope the interim coach gives them plenty to text about. They would be bolstering the WAFL team if it was me.

 

[Bender_]

Sad but at the same time needed to happen.

Vale Simmo, you leave the club a true Eagle.

 

[Ghossein]

Simpson holds proud place in Eagles history

Simpson will forever be a West Coast Eagles premiership coach. He is Eagles royalty.

Lol. Jog on mate.

You’re free to be terrified of change, but I can absolutely assure we are not the ‘wokest’ club in footy. Embarrassingly far from the rest of the comp in so many ways on so many common sense stances, but let’s save that chat for another day.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Thanks Simmo and all the best

 

[Proeagle]

And get a heap of these underperforming senior players in the Beagles will hopefullly make the Beagles competitive and provide a good development environment for our youngsters.

 

[just ask!!!]

And atleast 3 guys doing the below

And those blokes might be the first out the door.

Wanted him gone, but feel for him. Will always be an Eagles premiership coach.

 

[larrikin]

I'm not sure what value there is in him coaching this week.

To give him the farewell he deserves
