Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Have never been impressed with Pyke and that presser confirmed it.
Hard to hate Simmo though.

Ever since I became neighbours/mates with a (now ex) senior Eagles staff member I’ve never been able to hate the Eagles the same way! He probably hates them more than me now!

“Maybe you should shut up and listen for a change, champ”

 

[mayne iac]

Harley the white ant!!

 

[Taylor]

The body language kind of looks like it wasn’t a very savoury exchange

Simmo walking to his own gallows would have that look if Harley had just said "love you coach".

Imho, he seems like an entitled twerp… wouldn’t be surprised if he gobbled off at simmo.

'You can't speak to Mitch Woodcock like that. He's the greatest journalist ever'

 

[Purple Jesus]

That shit-eating grin Harley has. What a punchable little campaigner he is.

 

[serial_thrilla]

on afl.com he had very different numbers

Longest-serving West Coast coaches​

	Games	Wins	Losses	Win %	GFs	Prem
John Worsfold	264	142	120	54.2	2	1
Adam Simpson	230	115	114	50.2	2	1
Mick Malthouse	218	144	73	66.3	3	2

Those numbers don't include finals.

 

[Rob]

That he thinks the media treats him and his players unfairly is laughable....they've been arselicking him and everyone else involved in the club forever.
Shows you what living in a bubble does to you.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Pyke is useless at reading the room and even more useless at dealing with People, he is the most pure of what the Evil has created, Ever.

My uncle went to uni with him and said he was an utter campaigner lol

Should ask Daisy…

heaven help the next coach who doesnt get on with Harley !

Very very sad day when that occurs

 

[MadMac]

He’s definitely ruthless and right now I’m unsure whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing for the Eagles. I’m leaning towards the good thing as much as I would have been pissed off if I was their supporter, just because the disrespectful way this was handled. After all, Simmo won them the premiership. The clean out will be huge though with a campaigner running it.

 

[Deathly]

Why are none of the media morons over here pushing for Sumich to take over Simpson like when we got rid of Lyon? Hopefully they can keep up the same energy for their mate to land at their beloved club!

 

[FreoGirl]

Schofield is the interim coach..

 

[Docker82]

Is AFL the only sport where they sack coaches and force them to do a press conf?
We had the right idea with Lyon having his conference off site.

That wasn't the club's press conference.

Take that back! Harley is a Saint!

Soon enough anyway.

He’s trying to be Nisbett. He was ruthless as they come

 

[Purpletown]

The only experience with that one was listening to him telling stories making Andrew Embley out to be a total simpleton.

Embley would lose a spelling competition with a seven year old, so perhaps he might have had a valid point there.

 

[Perfect Purple]

Imho, he seems like an entitled twerp… wouldn’t be surprised if he gobbled off at simmo.

He’s grinning like a cheshire cat at Simmo! Hardly the look you would expect from players knowing what is about to go down with their coach.

That little snot is not normal!

 

[hoss]

Schofield is the interim coach..

Well that makes me hate the Eagles more. Schofield is an absolute campaigner which I've never thought of Simpson as. I'll never forget doing a coaching accreditation about 10-12 years ago at Leederville Oval and Schofield just used his special guest speaking time publicly and openly bashing the Freo footy club. Was so unprofessional.

To clarify: We had the right idea by not holding a press conference and letting Lyon have his own one off-site.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

So apparently Simmo said to Harley “you had your say” as he walked into the press conference?

 

[thistimeforsure]

Lol Simpson , you’ve won 8 out of 60 with double figure 80+ pt beltings while playing consistently over age teams and you recon it’s the paper that got you ???

What a deluded idiot

The Boss smashed it, IIRC.

Turned up in a T-shirt and was casual AF.

It is also being reported as "you have to stay."

Which it was is unclear because it is hard to hear it in the footage.
