It’s a habit difficult to break

Thank goodness for another Swans loss. Only have themselves to blame for poor goalkicking (4 rushed behinds too). I reckon they are starting to feel the pressure now and that is a good wakeup call for them. Premiership wide open and could be won by several teams (Carlton, Sydney, Brisbane, Geelong, Pies, Freo and even Essendon and perhaps the Giants or Port). Gold Coast are done, St Kilda won't be playing finals but are giving it their best and Hawthorn's % is probably too low. Bulldogs and Demons too inconsistent. The bottom 4 is sealed. After a slow start to the season the Lions have taken full advantage of a recent favourable draw and if they finish top 4 they are a chance for sure.

I'm not so sure that the "bottom 4 is sealed". Norf, Weagles & Tigers are all a lock for the bottom 3 positions. Adelaide & St Kilda will definitely finish 14th & 15th, but the order in which they finish is anyone's guess.

If you'd said that the "bottom 5 is sealed", then I'd agree with you.

After they play us Saints have every game in Melbourne & includes playing Richmond & West Coast. If Rankine is out for any length of time I feel 15th place has our name on it - albeit in pencil for the moment.

We're effectively playing them for pick #4 this week.

• If they win, they go 6 points ahead of us on the ladder. We'd need to win 2 more games than them to take 14th position, and that's unlikely.
• If we win, we go 2 points ahead. We have Essendon (A), Hawthorn (H), Geelong (A), Dogs (H), Tools, and Swans (A). We won't be starting as favourites in any of those games, though we're an outside chance of beating the Hawks & Tools.

We're locked into positions 14 & 15, but which team finishes in which order is anyone's guess.

Get the feeling this is Simpson’s last game at the helm.

Players have given up on him.

Yeah but shouldnt they look at replacing his assistants

 

[aabp1978]

Left field. Simpson to become our new Head of Football. Then can be appointed coach when they show Nicks the door mid next year. I know about a 1% chance he will move to Adelaide, but wouldnt be the worst outcome.

Wait, you can do that?

True, their statement only says they've parted ways, so I guess he might get a farewell game

 

[aabp1978]

M Ricciuto needs to do one thing...ring Simpson tomorrow.

LIVE from 12.25pm AWST: Eagles, Simpson part ways

West Coast and Adam Simpson have mutually agreed to end the coach's 11-year tenure

Adelaide take a tip from West Coast. Sack an underperforming coach after a lengthy time.

Simpson won't come to the Crows, but you would hope calls are being made. Not necessarily as a coach but any other role would help.

I think he would want to get home to Melbourne but agree with your sentiments.
