Coach Adam Simpson Megathread est. 2017 - Staying for 2024, Lyon’s Cryin’

[The_Gambler]

Genuine question: Do people actually believe Clarkson is currently a good coach? Hasn't done anything for 6 seasons, gone backwards in fact.

It'd be akin to asking Malthouse, Blight or Pagan for one last hurrah. We all know how those tenures ended.

Seriously, game looks to have gone well past him.

Please stop mentioning him. Do. Not. Want.

BAM

 

[The_Gambler]

Really? Even the bloke whose team is second last and has looked useless for years?

BAM

 

[The_Gambler]

I dont see the point in getting Clarkson. Simmo was his apprentice so it would be more of the same.

BAM

 

[Obeanie1]

Completely agree... I only laid off him because he's a rookie recruit that has snagged four All Australians. It's fair to say that by anyone's measure, that's been a good return on investment. But yeah, ever since his last big contract, his performance has been dwindling. I'd be interested to know what sort of effort he puts into training, because he consistently looks like he is out of shape, but relies on his talent and good game sense to coast. It's not good enough for a professional athlete.

Good return on investment?

He's our highest paid player this season on over a million.

What return has he provided this season?

BAM

Hey Bam-bam, where have any of those posters said Simpson is better than Clarkson?

You haven’t learned from the other day, you’re insisting on thinking that anyone saying “no thanks to Clarkson” is defending Simpson. They’re separate questions.

 

[bzparkes]

BAM

Bam what? What is your actual point?

 

[Tugga27]

I would imagine more than 1 person would have suggested that reasonable suggestion. Something is seriously rotten in the club, to roll over and give, not tackle, not chase, no defend, not change anything up playing at the MCG, hurns 300th, finals on the line, against collingwood… go watch the press conference, Simpson is a dead man walking

Sacking a coach the day after a loss, with his record and with a team still in the 8 is not a "reasonable" suggestion.

It's a knee jerk reaction which stinks of desperation.

One might say The_Gambler is preparing to double down.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Do you ever wonder that when the vast majority of people on the board disagree with you that you might need to take a step back and reassess where you sit?

I don’t find that to be the case at all and receiving life advice from you is about as useful as listening to Hitler.

You're in the big river in Egypt mate.

You're in denial.

Stock standard response from you as expected.

Do you have anything of value to contribute to this discussion other than petty insults?

Just updating my ignore list. Bless threads like this for the nuffs pointing themselves out

 

[EagleEgo]

Godwin’s Law in full effect.

Simpson definitely has to study hard on the Goodwin‘s Law with a double o because Simon is coming to attack. We better be proactive this time.
By the way, the Demo has modified their running game to a bit more kick and mark since 2018 final. This might suit our game style better.

Not this week but it’s coming. Will walk before pushed

 

[Tugga27]

Not this week but it’s coming. Will walk before pushed

You're delusional if you think a coach on about a million dollars a year, will walk when he has 3 years left on a contract.

 

[Biggie]

Despite being 7th, West Coast's premiership chances look extremely slim.

With an ageing list and a recent history of blowout losses, could Adam Simpson find himself fighting for his job?

He has got 3 years left on his contract hasn't he?

Or am I wrong?

 

[WCErevival]

I dont think even West Coast would do a 3 year pay out

On "Despite being 7th, West Coast's premiership chances look extremely slim":
1. Robert Walls and the wiseman say: zero chance.
2. Eagles‘ fans wish: 100% chance.
3. Random Walk Theory predicts: 6.25% chance winning the premiership.

New coach, **** this rubbish!

Hey Bam Bam, how’d you go finding that quote of mine that doesn’t exist?

 

[KERRPOW]

The off season needs some very tough decisions to be made and I dont think some of these will be popular.

Josh Kennedy retire to allow Oscar Allen to take the reigns. Oscar is a genuine power forward but hasnt been given the opportunity with JK and Darling.
Shannon Hurn to retire, has given us amazing service to the club. We trust Alex Witherdon whose had injuries this year to come in and take his spot.
Mark Hutchings to retire as well.
Venables, we did the right thing by him but he hasn't played in 2.5 years, he will have to be delisted.
Nathan Vardy, sign him for one year but on a reduced contract, hes just a back up. Would be on 300k just a guess, reduce that to 175k plus match payments, free up some cap.
Brayden Ainsworth - Has shown hes not up to AFL standard and his disposal is suspect. Delist
Andrew Gaff - Do we go to him and say, we will trade you back home if you want too. This would attract a first round draft pick giving us 2 1st rounders and 2 second rounders for the draft which will energize the list.
We have 2 new recruits for 2022 and they are on our list. Jarrod Cameron and Willie Rioli. Imagine a forward line of Rioli, Cameron and Ryan.

HOW WE COULD LOOK LIKE ROUND 1 2022

ROTHAM BARRASS WITHERDON
COLE MCGOVERN SHEPPARD
DUGGAN YEO SHEED
CRIPPS DARLING PETRUCELLI
RYAN ALLEN RIOLI
NIC NAT KELLY SHUEY
I/C WATERMAN L EDWARDS, B WILLIAMS Reddan
SUB CAMERON
EMERG. Brander Ah chee C.West Nelson

Agree with all of this but id push hard to trade gaff and delist vardy.

Your just interested in dragging out the inevitable, most coaches move on after 8 or 9 years. It’s no shock, the ability to motivate wavers.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

The club management have one very simple question to ask, do they believe Adam Simpson will be our next premiership coach? If the answer is no then we may as well move him on now.
