End of an era. Sadly it came time to part ways. I didn't get to see the presser due to work and now can't find it anywhere. I hope its posted by the club at some point. If anyone comes across it i'd appreciate if they could give me a heads up.

Lose, that's what they can (and will) doLook at how much Hough has improved, playing week after week in a suited position.
Takes time.
Hope we keep the same/similar side rest of year and see what they can do

I disagree on one part of this… coaches absolutely can control intent. You could argue that controlling intent is the difference between a good coach and an average one. It’s what makes Lyon a good coach - even though the saints are shit it’s not due to a lack of intent, for example.Look, when McGovern is the best kick in the back line, you know we have a lack of depth and skill in our side. Frankly we got molested with bad luck, lost multiple high pick players for nothing in return and due to early retirement.
We have zero depth. The players play, the coach can't control intent.
Again we are a team playing just how the afl would dream the game be played, low contact, non aggressive football. The players lack balls and shame, blind Freddy can see it
Yeah no doubt we'll keep losing but I'd rather lose with a bunch of enthusiastic kids building to something than this patchwork quilt of whatever we have.Lose, that's what they can (and will) do
Agree completely, this half arsed "rebuild" where Simpson just drops Gaff and thinks jobs done is very annoying.Yeah no doubt we'll keep losing but I'd rather lose with a bunch of enthusiastic kids building to something than this patchwork quilt of whatever we have.
Hough has played 45 games for 6 wins.
Hopefully by the time he's played 100 he has at 25-35 wins
For example North have guys on nearly 100 games for 10 wins

You have to get games into kids even though they may not do much to start with.
Look at emac…he spudded the place up but they persisted.
Yeah I agree with you, the intent, hardness, brutality and effort needs to be there every week.I disagree on one part of this… coaches absolutely can control intent.

Simpson is failing in his mastery of this. He’s a very supportive guy, this is evident, but the players don’t fear him in that he’ll make changes if their intent is poor. Sheed is an example of this.
I agree. Too many people say the coach isn't out there missing tackles, slipping over, putting in half-arsed chases or failing to convert shots at goal. That is true but reductive. The coach is responsible for the state our team is in and the performances they put out on the park. At some point you have to stop selling "reasons not excuses", "we'll learn from it"s and the like and actually stand by the performances on game day. That's what matters. Sure we appear to be slowly improving our percentage based on the last few years, but the blowouts and non-efforts are still too common.I disagree on one part of this… coaches absolutely can control intent.

Buckley needs the money and has already sold some of his memorabilia so he would probably say where do I sign to a good contract ..

All I get in that link is some serious Bombre gobbling?After hearing Luke Hodge on crunch time going after the Eagles players this morning I’d be offering whatever it took for him to coach the club….

He didn't have to sell half of everything - if he kept them, it would mean he'd have to give up something else of equivalent value (of half their worth).I got the impression Bucks was forced to sell those medals/awards because his ex was taking half of everything in the divorce settlement. They had to be liquidated and then he bought some of the stuff back.
ABC this morning has been a good listen
Not just on Simmo but the whole list. It is fair to say that the wheel has completely turned on Simpson. Not alot (if any) support for keeping him on at all
There wasn't much last year either.
Until it seemed like we actually were outing him when the narrative became 'I can't believe how bad the eagles are treating poor simmo"There wasn't much last year either.
Na disagree completely. Most Eagles fans wanted to keep him at the end of last year, there was even that weird lame petition that went around
Almost no support at all now
Of all the hilarious stuff in this thread the thing that has made me heartily chortle is the "Hodge and Seldwood are in the media coz the money is better than coaching."
They aren't in coaching coz both are either as thick as pig shit or so deep in their CTE symptoms that they can't string a coherent sentence together. Great players with an advanced understanding of the game? Sure. Able to think and instruct a team full of players, develop a gameplan and communicate it clearly? LoL![]()
