I love that he took a swipe at the grub media org The West
Feel bad that he has to do it with officials from club on either side.
Can hold his head high
Simmo you’re a legend mate and forever will be. No one coulda got through the last 2-3 years like you did. Cheers for the best gf ever
What a class act Adam Simpson is.
Even at the end he was still speaking about the club and the team as 'we'.
The Eagles were lucky to have him as will the next team he coaches.
Welcome to country at a coach sacking ! What the.
What the. White English British Europeans Diseases
YEAH dude get used to it that's life from NOW on 😊
took 10 seconds why is it a problem you racist baby
Genuinely insane...
Absolutely ridiculous virtue signaling.
Sacking him before the end of the season will speed up the west coast rebuild by as much as a couple of hours.
Don Pyke is a grub. Why read like a robot off a piece of paper?
Couldn’t even consult Simmo pre press conference if he wanted to coach this weekend
@@ReganMorris1401 yeah that was weird wasn’t it. Last 6 or 8 times Ive been sacked have had 10 minutes to clear my desk and GTFO.
he was behind all that weird stuff at Adelaide a few years ago , the weird camp he made the players go on ….
Nothing better than a welcome to country when you're saying someone is no longer welcome as your coach at the club...
They didn't say what would happen to his donkey. When the going got tough, the tough got going. Welcome to country , then a public hang out to dry. All the best Adam.
Completely unnecessary. AFL, can we please stop with the pandering?
If this is the way CEO’S are going in every club, we are never going to be any good. Leave this stuff alone and leave it to the Politicians.
Completely agree. What a bunch of tools!
Welcome to Australia and the sh we have to put up with
Simmo thank you for the best day of my life in 2018 and you’re dedication to the club
You’re a ripper!! All the best mate
poor bloke sitting through that, don’t embarrass him like that.
It was from the start
Exactly, pack of dogs
If he didn’t front up the nuffs would say he was bitter and cowardly. Feel like they did the right thing even if it was uncomfortable
@@MickSchwager-gu5wpnot very nice 🤬😡😠
Whats wrong with giving him a respectful exit? They gave great recognition and appreciation for what he gave to the club, he saw this coming for a long time. Club was very good to him and vice versa. I see nothing embarrassing about this press conference.
Fremantle supporter here. i think Simmo is a genuine top bloke. Best luck for whatever you decide to do in the future.
feel sorry for him. witnessed so many great games, a premiership. can't ask for much more
YEAH a premiership gifted to the weagles by the umpires 😊
@@paulkyriakopoulos3444colllingwood had home advantage and still couldn’t win
@@ethan76708 true thanks to the umpires DUDE.
@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 ok sure buddy, but by that logic Brisbane were robbed thanks to that horrendous advantage call. But you won’t mention that, will you.
@@user-uw8ru7eq5c okay I enjoyed the magpies 2023 premiership win immensely and a special thanks to the umpires DUDE lololololol Now here's your tissue now continue your sooking dude lololololol
Dockers Supporter: My heart sinks for Adam Simpson, have nothing but total respect for the dude and what his done for West Coast, the 2018 Premiership was special for Western Australia Football. Well wishes for Adam and his family, all the best in your future and now one of the legendary figures of Western Australian Football.
Well said. I feel exactly like you 😊❤
Thanks. Freo are looking very good and with such a young list it’s looking very good👍
@@babylemonade2868 Perhaps Simmo could offer his thoughts to JL?
Thank you and it’s is looking like you guys might win a cup ( although I don’t want that to happen)
I got to say I’m an eagles nuffy diehard, and after Simmos departure I just did not want to read any comments. I was absolutely devastated.
But after I saw the love from Freo fans over their disgust over the Simmo West Australian article on Facebook… it almost moved me to tears (I was so appreciative). I could imagine these fans don’t want Eagles to win, but they put tribalism aside on this one thing and called out the disgusting rag for cheap-shotting a premiership coach like this.
This would be like the Freo equivalent of sacking JL and the West saying “so long JL you one-kick wonder… thanks for nothing!!” (This is a reference to Longmuirs famous after the kick siren win).
What the West Australian front page article did was so reprehensible towards Simmo that I think it is going to fold from bankruptcy (and good riddance)
I love Freo fans so much and they are amazing dudes. I used to buy into the “I have to hate Dockers as an Eagle fan” mindset, but I have completely abandoned that mentality over the years. The disgust over this paper has united us despite our differences 👍
Welcome to country at a press conference 😂😂😂
Now time to sack the board members. Simpson hasn’t had a list manager for the last 5 years
That’s why Eagles are in this position. Board members are to blame as well our last CEO. Absolutely a shambles
100%, the list manager has let him down as well as the players. I remember the hype when Ginbey was drafted, he's failed to live up to.
20:30 Woodcock what a grub. How well did Simmo hold his head up - one of the Eagles greatest.
Gotta say welcome/acknowledgment to country - really !!!
Great to hear him give the media a clip on the way out 😂
Broke my heart in 2018 and for that he’ll always be a premiership coach, respect simmo 🤍🖤
❤
Suffer in ya jocks, Joffa. lol. Champion bloke Simmo. So is McFly. (Fly)
@@girlsblouse7866 one of the greatest grand finals ever to his name I reckon
‘We pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging - but not you Adam’ 😂😂😂 WTF
Forever an eagles legend - nothing but love
What ha ha
@@ZINGERPINGERShe won them a flag mate
@@fallingintoh1ell still not a legend. That's a very big label.
@@fallingintoh1ell is Luke Beveridge a legend? What about Goodwin?
@@ZINGERPINGERSyes they are mate if your a premiership coach that’s legendary
He isn’t even that bad of a coach, mostly just bad players. Such a weak move to not even let him finish the season, they’re just making it worse for themselves
Yes I agree they should have made a decision at the end of the year. Harley Reid will be gone too in a couple years
What’s next, a welcome to country at a funeral?
@@guenthersteiner3311 I’ve heard one at a wedding, and there probably wasn’t a single aboriginal person within a 5 mile radius.
This bloke has been the shield for this football club for everyone to attack and tear down.
That was an embarrassing presser. Feel for the bloke.
As a North fan I would absolutely love for the kangas to try and reunite with the club and Clarko as an assistant at the club he led so well during his playing career.
Great suggestion
I hope so to north fan aswell
There’s no right side audio…
this is the last straw for me honestly i cant deal with it
He can walk away with his head held high as a Premiership coach. The amount of injuries he’s had to coach around the past few years would be a challenge to any coach, no matter how good. Well done Simmo on a great coaching career.
Absolute legend. Eagles were lucky to have this guy. All the best, you are a champion!
This is the wrong move. They should have waited until after the season finished
So very true. Completely agree with your opinion. Heartbreaking to watch and hear this press conference. He deserves better. Such a respectful and classy man. True and loyal to the club. Thank you Simmo. All the best for you and your family. Much love ❤️
They had to get ahead of the game with securing a new coach. He’s been a champ but it’s time for someone different
How good is forgetting to mix Left track audio to dual mono 😂
Am i the only one who found this hard to watch. The heavy breathing in the beginning. This was a hard pill to swallow for Adam. As other footy analyst have already mentioned, i dont see the benefit in sacking him at this point in the season. I have no doubts he will be a great fit for any Club really. As a North fan, he will always be a legend and im glad he has won the hearts of the people of the West as well, even though the last few years have been extremely tough.
A very hard watch! The heavy breathing, the "decisions about him not coaching this weekend" which was news to Adam. Really feel for him and other coaches who get rail roaded by the media outlets just for some click bait
Very well said. We love Simmo here in the West. Utmost respect and admiration for him. A very classy and humble man ❤
I was in tears 😔. Excruciatingly heartbreaking to watch and hear 😔.
Not happy with the CEO's speech. It shows he doesn't know much about the coach. He deserves a glowing thank you for those 11 years. It was very poor from Pyke.
His reaction when they asked him to coach another game lmao 😂😂😂 Mixed feelings about this sacking. I've hated the circus that has hounded him. But if he's had questionable selection choices, and he's not doing a rebuild like it needs to be done, then fair enough. Got the club a premiership. Enjoy the payout and time off Simmo. Now the focus is on the players.
So much class from the coach. I feel terribly upset. This is not mutual. Extremely stressful job.
I'd like we all to have a chance to say thank you for everything Simmo did. Hopefully, he will be at the game and we can do it on Sunday. Much love to Adam and his family.
He deserves a break now no doubt. Thank you Simmo. Forever a Eagles, Forever in my heart ❤️
"Its mutual"
Don't save face now, come out and tell it like it is. Piss weak of the club to not let him coach the rest of the season out.
He showed to much loyalty to his senior players and they didn't return it . can't see how he's sacking going to improve the team .in the short term
Thanks, Simmo. We need a change up but thanks for your service and best of luck in the future 🍺
Simmo, perth loves you mate. Good luck with the future.
Pykey, that was a poor speech. How about a thank you?
Fair go mate he said thanks twice
The media got their article/wish. I'm a freo supporter, and the Eagles have over achieved this season, but the media has still come after him. Watch them elevate the attention on Harley going home now.
I'm not even an Eagles supporter
Over achieved?
@thattassiewargamer people before the season were saying they wouldn't win a game, they have won 3 including beating a top 4 team, thats more than anyone expected before the season, most had them woodenspoon again and are they sitting last?
@@thattassiewargamereveryone expected us to not even get one win mate
@@tanzify2749with the worst afl team only about 20% below the best, winnless or one and two win seasons are not likely in the modern era.
@@chrisgregory4796 it’s not what I said mate check the media so many ppl said they won’t even win
Why the welcome to country
Thats not a welcome to country that was an acknowledgement of country.
2024 what you have to do apparently
Why not? A little precious aren't we?
💯
@@novah589
Because it's not appropriate.
Dom Pyke wanted to get revenge for what happened to him at Adelaide jokes
Thanks alot Simmo. You'll always be our premiereship coach.
Simmo's humility shone through. Well done for a magnificent effort. All the best for the future.
Well said 🥰🥰🥰🥰
St kilda have their new coach
Would be a good go, he would be best at port I think
Mate give him a break
Media will be spewing they only got one good week out of this. Normally they spend months, years, shitting on a coach trying to get him sacked. The club did well keeping too much heat off him until it was time to make the move
What a classy man!
Thanks Simmo
Time is right but hold your head high Adam, you took the club out of a difficult period and have instilled some long lasting values - Friends Family Flags.
Thank you Simmo, you have brought us much joy.
A true class act. Simmo was great at the NMFC and WCE. He got done dirty here. Hopefully he doesn't coach on the weekend.
Gracious outgoing speech. Hope some of those on the committee are listening as some of them could be next.
I wonder who Caro's, Barrett and Sam McFlog's next victim is going to be?!
Adelaide's Coach
I feel so very sad right now. This isn't the right way to treat the coach. See if they sack any of the board members ☹️...
Hope he goes on Sunday.
My left ear really enjoyed this video.
Full respect to you Adam! Thanks for all the great memories! ❤
Jeez Pikie you need to go on a camp that's the worse press conference ever for a departing coach.
Wasn't Don Pyke sacked or did he resign as coach of the Adelaide Crows?
Well done forever grateful for taking a premiership from Collingwood and having Maynard knocked to the shuthouse on the same day love ya mate good luck for the future
absolute class
Damn that’s tough to watch… not even an EAGLES SUPPORTER…
Adam has been a fantastic Coach for this Club, but really after all the media and this and asking or dropping on him, without prior knowledge to Coach this weekend and him not knowing if he wants to?
Then perhaps really, it's better to leave him with family.
Yes god comment.
Thank you Simmo so much for everything
Welcome to our own country while you sack a coach.....what a joke *laughing*
Excruciating! Couldn’t watch for more than 15 seconds. What crazed bureaucrat thought this would be a good idea!?
the audio is terrible
Good effort Simmo..Keep your head up..Doubt you had the cattle..always spoke with humility..
What is Pyke dribbling about ? Waffle waffle waffle.
Yeah Pyke came across as an insincere politician. Simmo’s eyes were rolling quite noticeably. Then at the end did I hear Pyke say WC weren’t ruling out a lady to coach the mens team? Maybe I heard wrong, but either way everyone knows the new coach will be a bloke.
@@chrisgregory4796 I think Pyke is deciding should he transition to a lady and take the position.
Don Pyke = Snake oil salesperson.
@@lazzar1903 comes across to me as a slimy politician.
Its probably a relief for the bloke, crueled by injuries for a number of years and an ageing list. Probably should have traded a few of the players out after the Premiership while they had value but kept that loyalty. Always the coach that gets thrown under the bus.
I lost interest at welcome to country
Diddums.
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
been a great coach and a great bloke ,trial by media,hope some of his players go as well
I reckon he’ll leave the club happy with his achievements(including 2018 Premiership)
Legend
AFL football coach. The hardest, most scrutinized job in the country. God Bless Adam Simpson and his family.
Sacking him is a futile gesture. West Coast haven't even hit rock bottom yet, so what happens to the next bloke?
Lot of love here for Adam - sorry to see you go mate. But I think it's time.
Could see this coming any day of the week
I liked what he said about coming in after John Worsfold. That team wasn't bad per se coming off a 9 win season but needed a new voice. Simpson basically got to the 2015 GF with the team that he had when he arrived, then won 2018 after placing his stamp on the team (Selwood, Sinclair, Wellingham, Rosa, Priddis, Butler, Hill out, Redden, Jetta, Rioli, Ryan, Barrass, Duggan in). You can argue someone else could've done better the last 2-3 years (good luck, used 47 players in 2022 including half a dozen who weren't on the list) but hard to argue anyone could've handled the situation better.
Have a well deserved rest Simmo... You deserve it! and if you want to coach again there will be plenty of offers
In comes Dean Cox next year
He done well 👍
About bloody time.sack the board aswell they need to be removed aswell.
They also gotta sack the midfield and backline coach
Thank you for the entertaining foot ball with you incharge of Eagles for 11 years .Freo supporters Geraldton ! .
Why are football journalists such W rhymes with ankers
Their song is diabolically bad
Come to Port
So uncomfortable. Poor Adam having to sit there thru that, credit to him.
Now time to sack all the board members who let this guy stay on past 2020
As a previous resident of Scarborough Beach in Perth now living on the Gold Coast I was amazed with the front page of the West Australian paper. Absolutely grubby and distasteful gutter Journalism. Simmo handled himself with class and deserves better.
Well done Adam all the best mate to you and your family for the future..
The whole Welcome to country is getting a bit on the nose now, bit stinky. You now gotta Welcome to Country before putting last nights leftovers in the microwave. Or sacking a coach.
The lighting is even grim
Gee poor guy can’t afford Disney plus anymore.
Champion bloke Simmo. Stuff the Media, don't give 'em the steam of yashit. Head bush, where the real supports are hangin'. Have a beer. Good job Coach.
Did they really thank the indigenous people from thousands of years ago??? Jeez, wtf is going on these days??? Its such a joke
Dodgy pre camp trials remember don pyke
Mate, colonisation happened over the last few centuries, not thousands of years ago. Not to mention Indigenous people are still here with us and still suffering from it.
For goodness sake North make him an offer as assistant coach at North if Clarko is ok with such
thanks for the flag simmo but the time has come. wish you all the best for the future
Regardless of what anyone says, Adam Simpson guided the Eagles to a Premiership. Plus he got to coach Harley Reid. Along with being a 2x Premiership player himself at North Melb, I think he'd be pretty content with himself. Good effort
Nothing lasts forever time for a new change
Great words from Pyke
DP arrogance …your sacked….so we’ll see you next week for a fun farewell and a WTC. FFS.
Well done Adam…. and best of fortune in your next venture….
What he really wanted to say: F all y'all peace im out bye
Welcome to country before a press conference now.
