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

[Deplorable trumpster]

More likely what they draft than who they draft.

I don't think they should have much say at all.

You employ a bunch of (hopefully) highly skilled and experienced people in full times roles going around and watching all the junior games, making notes on the players as both players and people, talking to their coaches, attending draft camps, pouring over the data and details of everything that can be measured and coming up with their advice and best judgement call on said players. Which then all gets collated together and looked at and further debated by the people in charge of them who similarly have spent years acquiring skills, experience and judgement assessing junior football talent. And in the end you come up with a decision tree defining the best option available in each scenario pending who the clubs before you take.

Why would you then allow a coach, who likely hasn't seen any games, nor seen any data on the players, not spoken to any of them, nor do they have a background of having spent years developing the skills to assess teenage players, to come in and second guess or over rule the people who do have the experience and have spent all year doing exactly this for you?

Always hard to know exactly what’s going on internally but most our issues have been injury or contract management related. Very hard for Simmo to coach a team of B graders and rookies. I think the priority for roles that should be under more scrutiny should be:
1. Gavin Bell
2. Warren Kofoed
3. Trevor Nisbett (obviously)

PS I kinda miss Vozzo

Well mate, that would be why I made the distinction between what vs who. I'd say it'd be more likely suggestions like "we need outside run" or "tall defenders" and they'd work that into their recruiting.

The Simmo haters are out in force today. Screaming from their armchairs, beer in hand and chips on their pot bellies.
Ahhhh, gotta love being a WC supporter..

Yeah and they all have such good ideas....sack everyone, drop everyone!!!!
That's how you fix it!!!

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Sam Mitchell won us the 2018 premiership.
Simpson has been that shit since then it’s not funny.
So many mental pygmies on here, pretending to have half a clue, attempting to mock anyone who said Simpson wasn’t up to it…….pathetic and you know it!
I don’t hate Simpson one bit, in fact as a human being he comes across as an incredibly caring and loving person who deeply cares about his players, as must as that is admirable, we don’t need another club chaplain, we need a strong communicator who can lay down the law and motivate players in tough times.
His decision to play Gaff as an inside midfielder has turned the best wingman in the country into the worst ****ing player in the country and stubbornly refuses to change.
Adam Simpson you will always be remembered as an outstanding person, and a premiership coach, but please **** off.

And what's his coaching credentials?

Any experience at a lower rung. Any experience as an assistant?

Apologies I assumed Will

 

[ziad]

Tragically, somebody needs to go as a reset and send a clear message to players that this trash level of effort is not accepted and big list changes will occur.
I feel for Simmo - you cannot coach a mismanaged list of B graders and WAFL players and expect to win.

Pretty sure Simmo was senior coach in 2018 and Mitchell was merely the coach of the mids.

Didn't see Mitchell on the dias either.

I'm sure he had a very strong influence into winning, however.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I kind of feel the best way to get a response is to email SGIO and Hungry Jacks about it

Cancel your SGIO plans and actively say "After watching the Eagles play, i dont want to be seen with anyone associated with them".

Go to Hungry Jacks, get the free whopper and then give it to the next person in line on the condition they dont spend any money in the store

This is the kind of thing that could impact. Telling Stocksy, Simmo or Nisbett you arnt happy wont change shit because they have no passion, desire or need to change

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Cool.

So please tell us yout fix then. Who comes in as coach?

In what sense does it matter

Can you explain how that who could actually do worse?

We would just need someone to promise they wont go around attacking our players with tasers and that would be enough of a resume to get in ahead of Simmo at this stage

 

[Priddis Is Done]

I completely agree it doesn't matter.

I'm calling out the people asking for everyone to be sacked as if that fixes everything. The "just do anything" crowd.

We are at the just do anything else stage.

Its a stupid stage that’s without logic for sure, but it’s better then the reality

Just an FYI big fella, been a while since SGIO has not only been an Eagles sponsor, let alone existed.

I don't think you have to work to hard to avoid their services honestly, they seem like the kind of company that will be out of business in the next 5 years anyway.

Working at the club, weren’t you?

 

[Spod]

At least the west is (correctly) including Nesbitt in their suggestion of changes which should be made

 

[Quinz]

If Nisbett is a truly a great CEO he would achieve one or perhaps both of these things by season end

1. Resign
2. Get us the priority pick package North got after a couple of terrible seasons

Wait... one of the guys on the coaching panel that has served up this shit... deserves to get promoted?

If he has brilliant ideas that could get us playing competitive football, why aren't they already being offered up?
