What a player he has been.Buddy finally pulled the pin.
Smells like another SHocking stink.Dangerflog asked by afl.to be a playing commissioner, how absolutely absurd,Geelong captain on the commission go thuk yourselves afl
he's got another 4 years to run on his contract.Just watching Clarko's comments on Footy Classified, I reckon this bloke is not 100% in the job and if they fail again next season, he'd be gone permanently.
Am I a naive idiot to expect some semblance of basic honesty in reporting?
Like George Carlin said, it's all one big club, and you ain't in it.The footy narrative is amazing sometimes. Talk of Simpson being sacked, no *smile* sherlock after getting flogged by 100pts every second week, 2 wins in 40 games or something, and the financial penalties stopping that from happening.
He is one of the most unimpressive coaches I've ever observed, and without doubt THE most unimpressive coach of a big club. I've said it for years, there was a doco that followed him around a few years ago, I found it fascinating because Simpson seemed such a poor communicator, woeful, just seems dimwitted and lacking class. Yet the AFL punditry is prefacing all discussion of sacking him with he is a fantastic person and a fantastic coach, again, fascinating.
He reckons he's a the man for the rebuild, everyone knows that is *smile*. Everyone knows its just positioning to maximise his payout. That's his right, and WC were negligent to allow the situation to occur, right or wrong that is the truth of it. Am I a naive idiot to expect some semblance of basic honesty in reporting?
Couple of wins in over 2 seasons, numerous 100+ floggings, a coach that presents as bereft of ideas and has for that whole time, yet there is hesitancy, hedging and gilding of the lilly about sacking him?
Has delivered some nuggets in pressers this year "its unacceptable....but I guess we just have to accept it", he said that. "I'm not going to sit here and make excuses....but we have a lot of injuries" etc etc. Truly amazing.
Great post. Can you imagine the scrutiny a Richmond coach would be under if we had a couple of seasons like they have?The footy narrative is amazing sometimes. Talk of Simpson being sacked, no *smile* sherlock after getting flogged by 100pts every second week, 2 wins in 40 games or something, and the financial penalties stopping that from happening.
