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?

salient point

depends on who was sending texts to whom...

“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...

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

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
