This is all on Simpson for not shedding tears post-match.

 

[jdeezy]

Unironically Hinkley would be pretty good for West Coast.

West Coast like to be successful though

 

[Bump Bailey]

In the end, all it took to get rid of Simpson was text messages from three players on a list of 40+. Gone days later.

Goes to show how complicit the Port players have been in their own unfulfilled careers by staying loyal to Donuts.

You get what you deserve.

 

[malcheski]

It's the West Coast cycle. New coach comes in, contends, snags a flag, cycles to the bottom and hoards picks. Rinse and repeat.

This time round the TKelly trade stuffed the cycle by 2 years but they will accept a bottom out as they will be back in contention in a year or two again and this will all be forgotten.

Meanwhile at Alberton we are content to wait to see if maybe next year will be our year, without any meaningful change.

 

[Doctor Feel]

So jealous

While our GM publicly declares the list might not be good enough, despite every move he’s made over the past decade being geared towards an all-in tilt at the flag.

The industry: “his honesty is so refreshing, why are they mad?!”

Its bizarro-world. Imagine presenting a business case to investors and then blaming the investment as to why they have no returns, like they should have known in the beginning it was snake oil?

 

[gbear]

Jarrod Walsh sooking about a young girl going up to a Port player at a footy clinic & telling the player "My Dad says you are a crap footballer" lol

Sounds like my girls but interchange the word dad to mum!

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

 

[El Zorro]

You'd think Carr and Schofield will be in the mix to replace him.

Far too dignified post game.

Obviously has no clue on how the media game is played.

 

[davesnothere]

But West Coast can’t get rid of Adam Simpson, that’s ridiculous! Don’t they know that there’s nobody available to replace him, who exactly do they think they’re going to get?

Don't think there's even a selection process which is a shame.

Dean Cox.

 

[TazD]

Chad Cornes in the frame surely

 

[FishingRick04]

Where's the outrage from Caro? Simpson only had 11 years - surely he needs more time....to make a third grand final.

Caro and Kane would argue it’s obvious the players aren’t playing for Simpson unlike Ken

We can’t afford to bottom out apparently

The coach said it’s his best list ever

 

[Us against the rest]

Great opportunity for Carr, hope he he throws his hat in the ring so Koch can start shitting his pants.

 

[TazD]

Lmao

 

[MrMeaner]

The key part of that statement is the mutual agreement. In contrast, we have a GM who feels the need to run protection for a coach who will not recognise he is not good enough. So, unless our board steps up and overrules CD, we have a mutual understanding but it is to keep the failed coach.

 

[FishingRick04]

Hope Schofield gets the interim gig so we can see how he goes

 

[JayPea14]

Lmao

hahah how embarrassing but not surprising considering the way old crooked head dealt with issues at WCE-Lite

 

[PowerBaz]

Meanwhile at Alberton...

 

[Coobk001]

Adam Simpson, 11 Years, 6 Finals Series (7W, 5L), 2 GF's, 1 Premiership
Ken Hinkley, 12 Years, 6 Finals Series (5W, 7L), 0 GF's, 0 Premierships


And.... They've gotten into the market ahead of us. A good brave and smart call by a ruthless board. Meanwhile don't touch Kenny boy.

 

[Marmozet]

 

[Coobk001]

Lmao

Lol Adam just shook his head when the farewell game was offered.

Just move on Pykey, that's a ridiculous idea.
