West Coast premiership coach Adam Simpson has ruled himself out of the running for the Melbourne job, revealing he is “just not in the right headspace”. The 49-year-old’s name was thrust back into calculations for an AFL senior coaching role when the Demons sacked Simon Goodwin last week alongside Nathan Buckley and John Longmire. Buckley has emerged as the favourite, a position solidified by Longmire and Simpson both declaring they are not ready to rejoin the caper.
“I’ll continue to do this if this is part of my brief next year because all of these things aren’t done either, but I feel like that’s the path I’m taking at the moment.” Simpson joked he expected to be linked to Carlton after recently catching a plane with new CEO Graham Wright. “I was waiting for that to get out because we just happened to be on the same plane,” he said. “You talk to a lot of clubs but I have not spoken to Melbourne about coaching at all.
