Do we get him in as an assistant coach in 2025?

Depends, will it help or hinder a potential pursuit of Harley Reid in two years? 

 

“OMG! He’s done it again!” “How does he know so much?” “Who’s his contact, I wonder…” “Handsome and amazing” “He really is the #tradewhisperer”

Ok ok.. calm down. Not one to blow my own trumpet, peoples.

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Adam Simpson departs West Coast

After his weekend presser I'm not surprised. My guess would be Don Pyke is next in line.

open season on meth coke players now, or does this actually make it less likely that they'll leave?

middle aged blokes i'd be keen to have a chat with:

  • tom barrass
  • jake waterman
  • liam ryan
  • jack petruccelle (vic lad)
  • alex witherden  (vic lad)

young'ns:

  • harley reid (vic lad)
  • rueben ginbey
  • campbell chesser
  • jack williams

a lot of their players are wa born-and-bred - given our sheer number of wa lads, they might feel right at home with us, weather aside

he's the ceo, so he's going to be appointing the next coach, not taking the job


Time to start putting some respect on Simon “Oppo coach career-ender” Goodwin 

I'm all for getting ex-head coached as assistant coaches.

Dew, Sanderson, Simpson would all be good people to have in the coaching staff.

Suspect Simpson will be a head coach elsewhere though.

Isn't he CEO? I'd think Dean Cox

Before the meat market begins, I'd just like to pay tribute to Simmo.

10 years coaching in the west with a flag to his name. Like Goodwin, a philosophy based coach who doesn't like to swing the magnets around on gameday but believed in his system. I don't know what the overall feeling was among the fan base but the few WC members I know very well were right behind him until the very end.

He was up for the rebuild and seemed to do the best he could and up until recently it looked they believed in him. Don't know what happened behind the scenes but a good coach has lost his job and that's never nice. All the best Simmo.

How many is that now Smokey?

That'd actually be a good question for SirSwamp...

seconded

i expect he'll be back as a senior coach by 2027 or so

Lets not forget he coached the Eagles to a flag against the pies by under goal. Glorious day. We all should love him a bit

salient point

depends on who was sending texts to whom...

Most of my dodgy messages seem to come from Linkt or Medicare offices. They seem to originate somewhere near Bangalore. So I think WC should start their search there.

Can he play Ruck????

Nah. He just goes around kicking them in the leg. Just as bad as Darcy Moore.


After Tanking during covid years 

he was never going to last

Unless he’s headhunted by the AFL for a certain area they have been having trouble getting to grips with? 
I think the kids are pretty well grown up so he should be able to re-locate.
Might have to leave his dozen Hungry Jack’s franchises with a management trust for awhile.

Rich clubs like the Eagles can afford the million dollar soft cap hit.

I think Port would like their time again but I'm not sure they have the money to pay Hinkley out.

Questions could be asked at the end of 2025 if Dimma doesn't get the Suns a finals berth.

Beveridge.... who knows

Quite an unsettling time in coaching land

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
