Maybe start with yours?Complete disconnect throughout the club. Heads need to ******* roll.

Yeah it's like the Vic media enjoy WC being shit so don't do anything about it. The WA media are probably blacklisted from WC if they report something the club hierarchy aren't happy withI don't think I've ever seen less pressure put on a struggling coach than I'm seeing with Simmo.
Heads have rolled for much much less

rofl we signed the bloke until the end of 2025. and because it was done a while back I'm not sure it falls under the new rule where you only have to pay them out at a fraction of their contract.
Interesting snippet at around the 15 minute mark acknowledging that there has been about 10-12 changes before this season new dietitian, GM, Development coach, Head of development and strength coach. Basically irrespective of whether he is there or not the pathway to getting back to being a powerhouse has started.
Don’t think anyone could get more/less from the available group, it’s just nowhere near an AFL 22.
But we’re sleep walking through our worst ever season on the heels of our worst ever season. Hard to be bothered if they roll the dice on a new voice.
Alternatively (which it seems they’re doing), keep him in the post to eat a mountain of s**t and the new guy gets a fresh-ish start.
Apathy isn’t really what you should be gunning for, but it’s what we’ve got.
You’re an overt troll in this thread but let’s pretend for a second you’re not and have an actual chat about stuff.Yeah righto, new dietician, GM, development coach, strength coach, head of development, * all them off cos they’re ****ed and Simpo is awesome!
The fish Rots from the head, when the * are you mental pygmies gonna work out that Simpo is the source. FFS!
Sack them all for all I care but yes, agreed that quite obviously wholesale changes at a club level are needed. Coaching largely irrelevant at this point, sack him for all I care, but the best coach in the world dropped into this situation without any material change behind the scenes won’t be any sort of saviour.A football side is always greater than the sum of its parts. Up until you don't have the parts to put together an actual side, and this isn't really down to injuries it's down to the makeup and quality of our list.
I think a few people rightly identify the fact that we shouldn't be as bad as we currently are and performances against GWS and Fremantle prove it. The reality is we're a bottom four side ruined by injuries and the net result is a historically uncompetitive side and you can't coach your way out of it.
West Coast does need a new set of eyes on the playing group and separately the whole football department. Getting people from outside the club to come in and independently review will go a long way in fixing our current problems before a new coach takes over.

The current situation is deplorable, imagine two and half more years of this.A football side is always greater than the sum of its parts. Up until you don't have the parts to put together an actual side, and this isn't really down to injuries it's down to the makeup and quality of our list.

At least it would show some change and potentially reinvigorate the team. Fans would be happy seeing something being actually done instead of the club putting their head in the sand and just claiming it's down "bad luck with injuries". Had enough of these excuses from the club the past number of years. It's a fact Simpson has produced the worst results in club history almost certainly in back to back years. In what occupation is that good enough and not deserving of dismissal?You’re an overt troll in this thread but let’s pretend for a second you’re not and have an actual chat about stuff.
If we sacked Simmo tonight, and replaced him with any coach of your wildest dreams, what do you think the general back end of the season would look like for us?
Nisbett also needs to go, any big business the ceo would normally have a shelf life of around five years.Even if a nuke hit, he’ll survived through to 2025. Nisbett will provide the bunkers.
Do agree but also disagree. This year and last year you can give Simmo a free pass in terms of results but the back half of 2021 was really where the rot started. In reality the last two years are just a continued trend of 2021 exacerbated by injuries.Sack them all for all I care but yes, agreed that quite obviously wholesale changes at a club level are needed.
