Also the whole "Simpson is a great strategic coach but not a development coach" is either face-saving bs to try and make the admin sacking him feel better or a flat out admission that Reid didn't want to play for him.

If you needed anymore proof that Pyke is a very weird man. What the actual ****. I'm trying to wrap my head around this, publically putting pressure on someone you just sacked to coach one more time for ????

The fans couldn't give a shit I'm sure, the players wanted him out, who are we doing this for?

They would have put it to him before the press conference he would have said 'I'll give it some thought' then Pyke decided to publicly pressure him into it in the most passive aggressive manner possible. Simpson all but told Pyke to GAGF, love it.
Simpson isn't Nathan Buckley, why on earth would he want a farewell game from the Eagles especially when this all came about because he found out a bunch of his players were talking about how much they hate him behind his back.

I'm impressed by how Simpson handles himself. He'll find a job at another club easy. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up reuniting with Clarkson at North.

He'll find another job easy. Would bet he'll be back as a head coach somewhere in the next 3 years. Maybe even sooner.

A team like Port who cant get over line with Hinkley might even take a look this year, they'll be keen on someone who can win finals you'd think.

Not sure it's Simpsons fault West coast is so shit, they completely ****ed their recruiting up. But if he's lost the playing group there's no coming back.
Don't think another coach is going to make any difference though, this team is in for a few more years of pain yet.

It's either "You had your say" or "you have to stay" probably the latter but either way a bit odd to single out Reid in that moment.

What I'm thinking is Reid could have gotten Goodwin sacked.

Great stuff.

Remember when we smashed them in Alice Springs and for the three quarter time huddle he just stared at his players for five minutes.

It’s amazing after that shit that he landed a job as CEO of one the richest and most powerful clubs. The AFL is such a fail upwards industry.

He seemed to to okay as a Swans assistant and you'd think that role made sense after the Adelaide fiasco since he can just be a strategist and doesn't have to people manage but I have no clue how he gets that CEO job.

Fun fact about Donny Pyke, he was born in Bloomington Illinois and when he was drafted he became the first US-born AFL player.
