Even John Todd 1989 is looking like a coaching great compared with Simpson since the bye of 2021.
I think he should cite mental health and save us the soft cap payout

Completely agree, but try telling that to Simpson.
He's quickly approaching Worsfold levels of fan animosity. Shades of 2013 when he was completely cooked as a coach and undid all his hard work by rolling out the 3 ruck policy, not playing the youth and having us break record after unwanted record getting smashed that year before he finally called it quits.
List got rejuvenated (McGovern entered the scene, Duggan, Yeo), new game plan got brought in, and we played in a grand final 2 seasons later.
Personally i think Simmo will do whatever he can to scab a few wins late this year by rolling out his aging list, and we'll end up finishing 11th instead of 18th.

I wonder if the AFL would send a please explain to Simmo on tanking or match fixing I`m being ridiculous to emphasis how stupid the MC were being by adding not just 3 but 4 under done players ..And expecting the rest of the team to pick up the interchange rotations slack ..
Contracted to the end of 2024…
I think if we get some semblance of a “healthy” list and the season continues to spiral without any real change to game plan etc, then the club may act. It will be a very expensive exercise, but they may be willing to do it, particular if crowds fall away and we start losing money in the key metrics. A change and all the invigoration that comes with it may be a better option…
Personally, I'd be giving Jarrad Schofield the top job, and I'd be going after Dean Cox as an assistant.
This whole "we had no choice but to play them, they're senior players" coming out of the club is nothing short of embarrassing and lacking any fortitude from our leaders.

Here’s a quote from one of our premiership players.
Though he was just one of a dozen coaches among 40 players, Schofield was full of praise for Mitchell’s influence, declaring he was the best assistant he played under in 14 years of AFL football.
“Put it this way, we wouldn’t have won in 2018 without Sam Mitchell as an assistant coach,” Schofield said to foxfooty.com.au on Wednesday.
“If you asked any player who was at West Coast in 2018 they would speak very highly of Sam Mitchell. He’s highly intelligent with a high footy IQ. He’s a great educator who can teach young and senior players. He’s a direct communicator.

I found the last year of Woosha to be sad. He was completely cooked. Believed in something that the whole nation didn't see. Cooked, we knew it, the players knew it, the nation knew it, it was the world's worst charade.
The last few years of Malthouse were sad. He was like the Alpha Father. But time had passed him by. Infruriateted me, with the game plan of play it along the boundary line all game, at all costs.
Simmo. I just don't know. He's not helping himself. We'd cut him a lot of slack if the list was turning over, phasing the older guys to the periphery of the starting 18. Giving youngsters a go in the midfield rather than shunting them all to rot on a HFF flank. The recruiting has been pretty bad. We are crying out for mids but refuse to recruit any.
It's all on Simmos shoulders. Accept and change and he has a chance. Stay resolute and not see what most others are seeing and he'll be a dead man walking soon enough.
Pretty sad when people don't accept change.

A lot of Adam’s pressers right now come across like a scene from the last episode of Game of Thrones, where Jon Snow tells Tyrion he can’t justify the actions of his Queen, before immediately launching into several justifications for her actions (wrItInG iS HuRD).
If you’re going to say there’s no excuses for the performances, you probably don’t need to explain them and just label them as ‘reasons’ instead.
The failings of selection, gameplan and performance weren’t just on show on Friday night. They’ve been endemic for the last 3 and a bit seasons. Why doesn’t he learn from the heart and desire shown last week?
As an example - Shuey should be barred from centre bounces for the rest of his career to make way for XON, West, heck even Duggan. Show us you have the stones to make these moves which may hurt in the short term, but wil actually give this side some direction going forward beyond saving your job this year.

WC have won 3 of their last 17 AFL games, broken all sorts of statistical records including lowest tackle count.
We are in desperate need of a new coach, I hope Simpson steps aside.
Thanks for all your efforts, and in particular getting Sam Mitchell to the club which got us a premiership.
Time to move on.

We lost this game on so many levels. Selection, credits in the bank, a coach who doesnt reward good performances, lack of interest in older players.........its a long list.
So a fair bit more to complaign about than last week. And last week the selection problem was taken out of the coaches hands due to players not being available.
O'Neil is being jerked around like Brander. We have parents of young players posting about rules and standards for some but not others. The Brander fiasco was just terrible.
The core values of building and selecting a team have been erroded away and we now have a fractured playing group and a coach who has lost the trust of some of those players and others arent listening.
Next coach is either Don Pike or Dean Cox. At least at the Swans they know how to build strong work ethics and playing culture.
So with us that would be 5 coaching changes?
When has that ever happened?
Crows and Essendon will have the same coaches.
Port, will land Buckley, Giants will make a move and Clarkson will coach somewhere.
Dew may survive unless Clarkson is interested.
Simo will get one more year to show something.

We are in desperate need of quality youth and many of them.
A spoon or close to it and a few years of it, achieves that.
Do I want to tank or be at the bottom? Of course not but that's where our list is at.

I am still dirty about Hurns 300th and what followed. After serving up one of the most disgraceful efforts I have ever seen, in a club legends milestone game, every one of our senior players played that following week
That basically encapsulates Simpsons entirely flawed selection mentality

Jarrad Schofield must be a good chance .....
There's a rumour that we hired woosha in a similar circumstance. Freo was very interested so we shit canned judge and signed woosh before they could. Worked a charm.
