So Simo said then Im done, I don want to be the coach anymore and put my family through the wringer of media scrutiny like I did in 2023. What's wrong with that? it came down to 2 guys being honest. And Simo is still going to get his full payout even though it's him who technacly does not have the right to stop coaching right now.
Thank you for everything you brought to our club including the 2018 Premiership🏆 You have been a great mentor & leader at the club and you will be missed. Best of luck in all your future endeavours 💙
@@BlickBlayaz Those 3 players which included 1 senior player leaked the messages that caused him to lose his job. Gutless all of them for not telling him face to face.
Thank You Simmo..you stayed dignified to the end..As for the club..As a member I am extremely disappointed ... In fact i am so disappointed that i will not be renewing my membership next year on principle.. Simmo you will be missed, i thank you so much for being a wonderful coach and ambassador for our club..I am ashamed of the way the club has treated you..😢 Shame on the board and the media ..
Adam Simpson - I have so much respect. He has held himself with so much dignity over these past years in the face of so much criticism. This was hard to watch. Bigger issues within the club to my mind, just saying…
Thank you for an amazing effort. You brought respect back to our club. Also you took it over to great time and our culture was questioned even Off field as well and you brought culture. That will be difficult to replace and you were also a premiership coach and just an absolute ripping bloke to have as part of our club, we are fully indebted to Adam Simpson
That flag in 2018 is a moment me and my dad will cherish forever. Simpson has been a class act and a great coach from beginning to end and given his all. All the best. Will always be an eagle
Thank's Simmo for all you have done for the club. 💙💛🏆🦅💔 This is possibly the most uncomfortable I have seen you at a presser while Pykey was talking, certainly smacked of Adam being pushed by an, unfortunately, spineless board. Don is certainly no saint in this. If he is so good why not back him for the rest of the season. You can see he loves all the players. Nice dig from Adam to Don about coaching. Don waiting for Adam to answer about when the decision was made🤔🤔 Interesting to see the next heads to roll in the Football Department. Hopefully you are not lost to football Adam. The press should definitely be held to account as they are definitely amplifiers to negativity.
It was definitely time. A certain sadness to it. I know we haven’t been great the last few years but no one can forget the 14-20 era. But we need a fresh start. He’s done his job, he won a premiership & now has given us a good young core to whip into shape. We love you Simmo 🫡🤝 Thanks for the memories A premiership coach always and forever 💙💛 2014-2024
Good old Don, he went and wrecked Adelaide, now he has gutted West Coast. Six weeks ago the media were saying Clarko couldn’t coach North, now they are improving. Six weeks ago the media were saying the same about us. Simmo said at the time there would be ups and downs. Then we lost our mid field due to injury and report. Those players who leaked text messages to the press should be identified and sacked!!! The players have been disgraceful.
@@MonsoonOzzy Simpson was cooked. He couldn't hold highly paid senior player sooks to account. But agree re the flogs who leaked those messages. That's not on.
@@user-gf4bb6ug3b true that. WC been sliding hard since 20. Too many senior players and senior staff on big coin, snouts in the trough without performance accountability.
Yeah they haven’t treated him very well. Almost sacked him last year, then kept him, and then sacked him without finishing the season. We’ve seen growth, and good signs already, meaning he is a good coach. They could at least find a replacement before sacking Simpson, it feels like they’re reacting to the media
you have the man leading the team through the best period of their history, with 2018, best year of my life,, they wouldnt have had success without you. Like you said when you took over from Worsha, its all around energy, nothing to do with skills. I hope you coach again, Perth wont be the same without you
Thanks Adam, all the best to you and your Family. You'll always be an Eagles Premiership Coach. Time for this Club to get back to where it belongs now...more change to come.
I am extremely disappointed with the mid season sacking after all they ( the board )backed him in to coach and then when some pressure came they folded and used their scape goat. Unless he truly had a say and said lets finish up now he should of got the chance to finish out the season as he deserved. So now everyone got their blood I demand if their is no turn around by seasons end more heads should also roll, under performing players , board members and assistant coaches should all be put under the same scrutiny and suffer the same fate. Thanks Simmo for everything you did !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And those pi55 weak players leaking texts , man up , show your face to your supporters and team mates which will never happen as they are probably part of the reason holding us back.
Load of crap. Fire him, then half way through the exit interview, say hes to coach 1 more game, why not the remainder of the season? I fail to see this decision have ANY effect for the rest of the year. So point being, why do this now, and not wait till the season is over?
Everyone on the 18th minute on every quarter stand up and scream, simmo simmo for acknowledgment of him winning us the 2018 premiership🎉🎉 do this on Sunday if you agree
How's the fucking form of this club. Puts it on him mid interview without prior discussion of coaching the last game. This club is in all sorts, gut the old boys board of directors, let's get serious
So the 15 other coaches in the box wear no blame? I feel this is suits throwing their man under the bus! Wait the season out, trade and reshuffle the deck of players!
As For All I've Said etc? This Should've Happened Last Year, I'm Not Sorry & I Told Y'all So. Now I'm Focused On Somewhat Helping The Eagles Rebuild & Get Em Back On Top. 😧
Love Simo, but this should have ended after last season. When players are not playing for you its time. Did not think he was the man to lead the Eagles into the newer era, kept seeing the same ole style from the late 10s. Need someone to get the Eagles into the 20s.
Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge the Mighty British Empire and Millions of Immigrants from all over the Globe for initiating & building this wonderful Country, 🇦🇺 Australia, into a powerhouse G20 Nation. Congratulations Adam Simpson for a stellar run at WC. You have been appreciated and will not be forgotten. Awesome effort Simo. Adam's removal needed to happen so Kudos to Pyke and the Board. Pykey is clearly having a positive impact. Thats great to see. Looking forward to our players being held to account, including the highly paid seniors. Hopefully Gav Bell gets the boot too. ** ffs....stop the bs Welcome to Country & First Nations acknowledgements every 5secs!!!. It's insulting. There are over 270 ethnicities in Australia, all equal, all important & contribute to our GDP.
I honestly think it’s insulting to First Nations too. They’re rubbing their nose in it by reminding everyone this used to be their land. Instead of virtue signalling why don’t these corporations actually do something to help the aboriginal community and offer material financial assistance.

A welcome to country before they sack the coach lol
Imagine sacking him then asking him to coach one last game without notice lololol.
Yep, that was ridiculous
I think it was meant as a gesture of true respect. Poorly delivered, but respectful all the same.
Appreciate what he did to win us the premiership in 2018. But it was time to go, good luck to him.

great coach, seems to be an even greater bloke. gonna miss u simmo
Not happy with the look in Simmons eyes thru most if that I’m disappointed . End of the year would have been better in my eyes he deserved that much
We will miss him
Had To Be Done!, I Wish Simmo Good Luck Elsewhere eg: Go Back To North Melbourne & Help Clarko & Well Done On The Job Despite The Past 3 Years.
So the 15 other coaches in the box wear no blame? I feel this is suits throwing their man under the bus! Wait the season out, trade and reshuffle the deck of players!
6:41 this line answers, I think provides a significant insight into the what, why’s, and how’s.
West Coast Eagles should be ASHAMED
Before Simmo sat down he looked towards Bailey Williams and Harley Reid "You've had your say".Poor Bloke.
NOW? FINALLY! The Club Can Start Rebuilding & Get Back To Where They Should Be "DOMINATING" Year After Year.
Thanks Simmo
As long as Don Pyke is in charge i will not support this club..
Thanks for everything you have done especially 2018 enjoy the rest of your time simmo
forever a eagle
CEO and coach.. bit concerning considering Pykes history
What a bad day for wce Simmo gone and hewett out for the season

No no no no no no NO
