AFL: On The First Crack, the panel agrees West Coast coach Adam Simpson appears likely to leave the club by the end of the season.
On the back of another grim West Coast loss, the club’s 2018 premiership coach Adam Simpson has been quizzed on his future at the club after their nine-goal defeat to Melbourne on Sunday.
Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?“I’m here to do a job as best I can, and I’ll do that until I get tapped on the shoulder – so that’s not really in question,” Simpson told journalists on Sunday afternoon. “The task in front of his now is enormous, and he knows that in all likelihood, he’s probably not going to survive it, it’s just a matter of when, not if.”
“They said ‘this is the brief to guide this team through the horrible period, where they haven’t even bottomed out,’ – and he’s done that. In previous years, the Eagles could well have allowed the Demons to steamroll them en route to potential three-figure loss, but instead ended up losing the final three quarters of the game by 17 points all up.
King finished by defending the selflessness of his former premiership teammate, noting that Simpson would tap himself on the shoulder if he believed the time for the club was right.
