AFL: Brisbane have spoiled West Coast's plans to send off premiership coach Adam Simpson with a win in the stands, winning 16.10 (106) over the Eagles' 14.9 (93).
West Coast interim coach Jarrad Schofield says he’s not prepared to “hand out games” for the sake of a rebuild as he takes the reins from Adam Simpson for the remainder of the season.
The Eagles went into the match having dropped veteran Jack Darling, while the likes of Dom Sheed and Andrew Gaff aren’t in the line up. “For Jack to go back and play, as disappointing as it was for him, it’s a testament to him. He’s a player that has a strong standing in this football club,” he said.“Yes, we are in an exploration period where guys, we want to see what they can bring – but we’re not here to hand out games.“We’re really positive and encouraging to the players.“Selection, we’ll reward players for form. But also we’re not going to hand out games.
