Prediction Next Coach Sacked (2024 edition)

[Joao]

Yeah I'm not that silly to think it solves everything and even late last year thought it's better to just keep him on as a new coach is on a hiding to nothing.

But I'm starting to sway towards just get someone new in with some ideas and enthusiasm.

It's a lose lose situation

A rebuild coach that won't win more than 2 games in his first 30 games is on a hiding to nothing.

It pains me to say it, but I think your administration has absolutely nailed this. Letting Simmo wade through this muck rather than paying him out and dooming his replacement is 100% the correct decision. Getting some short term gratification at the cost of torpedoing the next coach and costing the club $1m+ just isn't value.

Yeah I can see that side of it.

I'm sure that's what we're doing too.

There's the contract side of things and also the "leaving the club in a slightly ok state to takeover "

Definitely. It sucks for the fans because I am sure it feels like you have nothing to enjoy beyond the odd Harley highlight, but I think you'll benefit long term.

TBH there's not even many highlights from him.

I'm more pleased with the effort.

But the skills and fitness for AFL players are horrid

In the case of West Coast, even promoting one of the assistant coaches to caretaker coach for the rest of the year and seeing how things go surely couldn't be any worse than the status quo? He at the very least could provide some new ideas and directions to the young Eagles players.

Horrendous situation for eagles supporters and the younger players.
The club don’t want Simpson or the older players but they are contracted and won’t pay them out.
Simpson and the older players don’t want the Eagles but they are contracted and won’t walk away from their money.
So we have the coach and the senior players just turning up, collecting their pay cheques and going through the motions, meekly accepting their weekly thrashing’s.
Terrible environment for the younger players and the supporters would obviously see the hopelessness of things as they stand.
A stand in coach now would be thrown to the wolves but around mid season, the situation will demand that the club pay Simpson his money and piss him off …

 

[TheKanga]

I think if West Coast lose to us and Hawks and get a few more 100+ thrashings.

They might let him go.

 

[Purple Suit]

Does that relate to existing contracts though, moreso the one Simpson has locked in?

It’s to the cap so the tax won’t be the same. I heard them talking about it on a podcast, no excuses from it’ll cost too much point of view anymore.

Yeah I can see that side of it.

I'm sure that's what we're doing too.

I think your development is to blame also. Stuffing the draft from 2014 onwards (besides 2017) can’t just be down to picks as you have barely found a late pick in that time. The whole club has gotten stale and needs the Broom to who ever has been just collecting pay checks. The replacements will be cheap so it’ll be cap space well spent both on and off the field.

Leaving Simmo in charge will just stuff up the next gen. 2021 draft starting to look shakey already for WC 2.5 seasons in.

2024 Coaching Changes at all 18 AFL Clubs:

Adelaide Crows - Matthew Nicks dismissed at end of season as Crows rebuild stalls mid-ladder.

Brisbane Lions - After becoming the latest side to miss the finals albeit narrowly after finishing runner-up the previous season, Chris Fagan is replaced at season's end.

Carlton Blues - When a minor form slump at season's end sees Carlton lose their top four position and then narrowly lose an Elimination Final, the Blues make the decision to replace Michael Voss as senior coach.

Collingwood Magpies - After one of the worst premiership hangovers in history that see the Magpies win only 4 matches all season, Craig McRae leaves the club.

Essendon Bombers - Despite Essendon unexpectedly taking 7th with more consistency and being gallant in defeat in a thrilling Elimination Final, the failure to end a finals win drought at 20 years sees the Bombers replace Brad Scott with James Hird at the end of the year.

Fremantle Dockers - After a late season fade-out sees them miss the finals, Justin Longmuir is given the heave-ho by the Dockers after Round 24.

Geelong Cats - When Geelong finish mid-ladder again the second year out of the finals in a row sees the Cats decide that a new direction is needed for the aging team, and thus end the long tenure of Chris Scott.

Gold Coast Suns - Damien Hardwick and the Gold Coast Suns part ways on mutual terms after the team again fails to make its finals debut. Hardwick then moves to Tasmania to become the Devils' development coach ahead of its debut later in the decade.

GWS Giants - Adam Kingsley's tenure ends when GWS lose the Preliminary Final again despite being hot favorites.

Hawthorn Hawks - After a review following a poor season, the Hawks are disappointed with the rebuild so far and dismiss Sam Mitchell in favor of a coach with more experience.

Melbourne Demons - Despite winning the premiership with a crushing win over the Sydney Swans in the Grand Final, the Demons believe the off-field controversies following the 2021 flag are too much and make the 2024 Grand Final Simon Goodwin's last match for the Dees.

North Melbourne Kangaroos - Alistair Clarkson becomes the latest coach to depart the struggling Kangaroos in a revolving door of senior coaches at the club since 2019, but the reasons for his early departure are never disclosed by himself or by North.

Port Adelaide Power - After finishing Top 4 and again crashing out of the finals in straight sets, the Power lose patience and sack senior coach Ken Hinkley.

Richmond Tigers - Despite better than expected results for the Tigers and a mid-ladder season with an even win-loss record and some promising signs ahead, senior coach Adam Yze's tenure at the club lasts just one year, similar to Tigers' coach Paul Sproule back in 1985.

St Kilda Saints - Ross Lyon is dismissed immediately mid-season when the enigmatic Saints are beaten by 180-points by a team that isn't going to make the finals.

Sydney Swans - After a hiding from Melbourne in the Grand Final, the Swans decide that a new coach with new ideas is needed to take the final step after four grand final defeats - three by big margins - and a dozen years having now passed since the Swans 2012 premiership so ending John Longmire's long coaching career at Sydney.

Western Bulldogs - Bulldogs management lose patience with the team's wild inconsistency not only this season but most years since the 2016 flag and show Luke Beveridge the door mid-season.

West Coast Eagles - Last by a long way, the Eagles become the first winless team since Fitzroy in 1964, having a percentage of just 42, getting within 5 goals of an opponent only twice, with 16 games lost by 10 goals or more and 8 of these matches resulting in thrashings by more than 100 points. Despite all of this, the Eagles maintain Adam Simpson is the right senior coach for West Coast all through the season, firmly stating at the end of the year that he will remain at the club in 2025 and even mooting a new contract extension should West Coast improve the following year.

If the eagles were to finish botttom again this season, would Adam Simpson be the only coach to have an achieved a Premiership and 2 wooden spoons?

 

[Toump Ass]

Yes.

Denis Pagan.
Won two flags and two spoons as coach.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Dennis Pagan been there done that

 

[HugeJohnson]

Kevin Sheedy also been there done that.

 

[JayJ20]

Kevin Sheedy also been there done that.

He won a spoon at GWS but didn't win one at Essendon. Essendon only have one spoon since 1933 which is 2016.

Two spoons at GWS.
2012 and 2013.

 

[Shane Heard]

Two spoons at GWS.
2012 and 2013.

We all know that doesn’t count ffs

 

[Frank Grimes]

We all know that doesn’t count ffs

The OP didn't specify that it had to be at the same club.
Also note the Denis Pagan spoons mentioned above is from Carlton and the premierships from North Melbourne.

 

[freo1]

I forgot about Pagan.

I even forgot Sheedy started GWS off

Pretty crazy that it’s never happened at 1 club before though. Speaks a lot of the eagles staunch support and also the regard that simpson is held in

 

[Engimal v3]

I forgot about Pagan.

I even forgot speedy started GWS off

I think it's more unusual to go from being premiers to winning 2 games within 4 years

Adam Simpson has until 2029 to turn fix the sinking ship!

 

[PhatBoy]

Barassi won two spoons at Sydney

 

[TheKanga]

Simpson probably gone soon

Wonder if Sydney will do better than their 170pt win they got last year.

 

[Freomaniac]

Barassi won two spoons at Sydney

your point?

Yes Barrassi got a spoon at Sydney swans in 1993 when the swans got 1 win. Swans got another spoon in 1994 when they only got 4 wins. That swans side eventually made finals in 1996-99.

Barrassi coached the demons from 1981-1985. 1st season he got the spoon, 1 wins and 21 defeats. next 4 seasons.... demons got 8 wins in 1982, 8 wins in 1983, 9 wins in 1984 and 6 wins in 1985.

that demons side would eventually make finals in 1987-1991.

 

[Freomaniac]

If the eagles were to finish botttom again this season, would Adam Simpson be the only coach to have an achieved a Premiership and 2 wooden spoons?

No. Ron Barrassi won 3 wooden spoons as a coach. one with demons in 1981 with a 1 win season. Got spoons as the swans in 1993 and 1994 at the swans.

doesnt take away the fact we won Premierships as a coach at Carlton and North Melbourne though.
