AFL: Adam Simpson has officially coached his last game for West Coast as interim Will Schofield tipped to take the reins this weekend.
Departed West Coast coach Adam Simpson will toss the coin prior to the Eagles’ Round 18 clash at Optus Stadium, and the decision hasn’t been met with a warm reception.
Therefore, with Simpson’s Eagles tenure officially done, the coin toss represents the opportunity for fans to honour the premiership-winning mentor. “The Eagles were obviously weighing up the best way to farewell Adam Simpson — a premiership coach, he’s been there for 11 years — the report out of the west today is that he will be tossing the coin this weekend against Brisbane.
“There was a lot weighed up, is my understanding at West Coast, of just how you actually go about this, given the awkwardness particular earlier in the week. It’s been awkward from go to woe.”“The Eagles have fumbled this for 18 months, in my opinion,” he told Fox Footy on Thursday night.
