Pretty sure we hit Simmo Press Conference Bingo inside the first 30 seconds of his post game interview. 
Get some new cliches at least.

Simpson on bringing back the 3 midfielders - ‘We don’t really have a choice’
Uh, yes you do, play XON coming off his best game for the club and bring at least one back through the WAFL.

You’re aware a decade has passed since he coached Essendon which has included him being a premiership coach in the VFL, right?
That's the biggest worry and has been for 2-3 years.
What I couldn't fathom was that in yesterday's press conference he said Shuey, Yeo and Kelly would all play reduced minutes. Then why pick all 3? Why the **** would you voluntarily nobble the team's chances when a young mid like O'Neill has just played his best game for the club?

Because he's no longer the right coach for this team.
Very simple - dumb selections! He tried it last year and it didn't work so why on earth did he think it would work this year. The stupidity is bizarre.

Watch the replay of last weeks game. Thats where they are.. .. they haven’t been to the credit bank.
No Nic Nat exposed how weak and pathetic our midfield really is. In fairness he has probably carried our mids for many a year.
There are a rich vein of candidates out there, however i'm concerned that if we move too late than we will miss out of them given that Adelaide, Essendon, G.W.S and Port will most likely have new coaches next season.

GWS and Port are definite possibilities I would be very surprised if Essendon and Adelaide turf their coaches.
Who are the rich vein of candidates anyway, Clarkson and ?
Jaymie Graham, Ashley Hansen to name a couple.
Miguel Sanchez

Amazing how none of these problems existed last week.

I just want to start the rebuild already. Don't care who the coach is.
If Simpson won't pull the trigger on that at the end of the year if we miss the 8 again with our ageing list, then get a coach who will.

When we played the team that finished 17th last year that butchered the 19 more inside 50s and 7 more scoring shots they had?
We lost the tackle count by + 20 & inside 50 count by similar. We executed better last week and Collingwood were off despite having numerous chances.
Does anyone truly believe that an existing coach can do a total rebuild and have success again? It has nit happened much in the history of the game. Sheedy did it, maybe Parkin? Can’t name many others but may be overlooking some.
If the club is going the rebuild path which most of us believe we should then surely it must be with a new coach with new ideas, new messages.
Schofield is the right man in my opinion.

only one would be Oscar but other than him and maybe Barrass we have little. Particularly in midfield the cupboard is bare

I think the hard edge Schofield seems to have attributed to him would hopefully extend to team selections if he was in the senior role.
We were always a big chance of losing last night but having 4 guys (plus some others who've had covid) in the team who couldn't run out the game was never going to help. It was clearly a ****ing dumb idea to bring all 4 of those senior guys back in at once, 90% of the plebs like us at home could see it and knew what kind of game we were in for.
And the problem is that Simpson has done this time and time again, how long have we been making credits in the bank jokes? It's been years now.
If he's not going to learn and he's not going to accept that maybe it's time he looks to the future then he can piss off, because at the moment it looks like he's going to leave us with a St Kilda after Ross Lyon quality list to work with if he leaves when his contract ends.

People are willing to overlook a lot of problems they know exist when the club has a good game. Doesn't mean they didn't exist.

I think Schofield is an excellent candidate, Simpson is finished, unfortunately we will probably have to watch the car crash in slow motion as the season unfolds.
I’ve said it many time Mitchell was the coach that earned us the 2018 premiership, the sooner Simmo is moved on the better.
