for those going back to 2018, I couldn't give two F^&*'s about 2018.
It was 6 years ago.
Today was putrid.
The only players that get a pass are Yeo because no one should have expected him to be on song with his week, Barrass and Gov because without them we would have been destroyed and had the first ever mercy rule, and Harley who had the highest disposal winner from all our Mids even after 28 days off.

Really wondering why the hell coaches are so well paid when they apparently have very little influence on how their team plays

Our work rate was abysmal. I'd say it can't stand but the last 4 years says different.
Havnt we been over this already? Weird that you can’t read.
Yeo was very likely to struggle given what has happened. But who really cares about that. You act like his performance is the important thing here. If Yeo wanted to play it would be very strange for Simpson to block that.
Kelly always struggles after not playing. It was always likely to happen but he needs to get back his AFL touch somehow. If we had AFL quality depth playing wafl I would be fine with Kelly playing wafl but we don’t. A shit Kelly is still better than Culley / trew.

Could just outsource it to Chatgpt
They also have a way better team and are much further long in their rebuild. At the start of the year when they looked hopeless people were questioning Mitchell.
People wanted Longmuir sacked at the start of the year as well.
Still waiting for your multiple examples of coaches completely changing a teams performances.

Wtf are you on about? I never said I had multiple examples of coaches completely changing a team's performance.
I do have an example of a coach who has presided over some of the most horrible, effortless games in AFL history though, but apparently (luckily for him) he bears no responsibility whatsoever for it:
Ya look, it's just time for Simpson. Familiarity breeds contempt or whatever, it's just diminishing returns and we need change.

This! And then on the field for game break you can see the difference in intensity when explaining and directing the game plan
Nobody has claimed he doesn’t have responsibility over our position. He has made countless mistakes over the year.
But arguing that one of those mistakes is allowing yeo to play today is just brain dead hahaha
Got to be able to judge each decision in isolation and not allow your overall hatred take over.
The question I'd ask you is what would warrant a change in coach for you? I'm being genuine here
I've been pro-simmo for a long time but at a certain point you need a change
Same thing happened with Woosh, it doesn't mean he's a bad coach or that the players aren't responsible
basically twitter's version of talkback radio hosted by the backchat boys, has had some good perspective from different fans. anyone with a twitter account can join and request to speak

Even putting our dismal last few years aside, a decade is a decent innings for any coach. If you're not contending for a flag at that point it's time to freshen things up.
I would be happy to move Simpson on over the offseason if we were getting a high quality replacement. As long as they were going to play youth more than Simpson has.
The problem is the new coach will likely be a downgrade.
Yep best job in end world, paid a crap load money to have zero responsibility, I'll take that job.
Long term coach who has a game style that has lost all structure and function, senior players who are up and down (and desperately little development from young players). Rucks and midfield have sucked for years. Our defence is shocking despite having two elite intercept markers. Acceptable AFL level efforts are running at around 1 game in 4. Simpson has lost the players and needs to go asap
Yeo's father DIED this week and Kelly is returning off a significant injury. Ginbey is 19 and shown heaps. Chesser however is only getting games because he is a high draft pick, he isn't AFL level and looks like yet another horrific draft failure.

I've got a greater chance to magically develop a third testicle than Chesser has to ever have more than 20 disposals in a game.
There are too many nothing players in this team.
Gov and Barrass were good.

I've been a defender and advocate of Simmos throughout the past few years but hard to defend him after todays effort.
It's not the fact we lost, it's HOW we lost.
I think it's time to complete the transition to a new era.
