As a Eagles nuffy I am really moved by our fellow Dockers fans being true mates in solidarity and putting tribalism aside for principle in condemning the west. I think I saw 99% of Dockers fans as disgusted as we were (the fringe was only 1%). It was such a beautiful moment of unity 👍❤️. I have to say if the West pulled this crap on Longmuir in the future I would react the same. The West Australian have absolutely NO IDEA how many bridges they have burned with WA footy fans over this (regardless of who we support).

Tell you what, I have challenge. West Coast fans its your turn at Optus while our boys are in Tasmania. Turn up on the weekend, fill that bastard up to max capacity, get it to a Grand Final atmosphere, Win Loss or Draw, its a celebration. Show up and stand up, and show your love and appreciation for Adam Simpson and give him the send off he truly deserves. I may be a Fremantle supporter, but I respect the West Coast boys. More importantly were a football community in Western Australia, and in WA we give credit where credit is due and respects.

Premiership coach for God sakes. I'm no lefty but it's bordering on bullying. I have not bought the paper in 10 years and subscribe to the Herald. Much better read. Good luck to Simmo and his family

Cancelled my West Subscription via email they called me to ask me why and I gave them my reason being their disgraceful article about simpson they were very awkward on the phone said okay we have processed the cancellation then hung up the phone

Skeeter is not the bad guy here… don’t pin that disgusting front page on him. We can’t place the sins of one horrible paper on one of the good guys

I was hoping and praying they would put in a big effort last week for the coach ! Bad week for the eagles ! I would not use that paper to soak oil up of the ground !

Truth hurts I guess 😪

It is really embarrassing for The West. I think there won't be a queue of newspapers that would want the motley mob of the editors, Woodcock and any of the other petty and childish tabloid writers. Any quality paper would run a mile from editors that recommend and approve of it. Only the Truth Newspaper or Playboy mag would tolerate something like that.

For Brownlow medal/suspensions, you can have a system like misdemeanours/felonies, like is US law, so a misdemeanour means you miss weeks, but it doesn't rule you out of awards, the "felonies" would mean missing weeks and losing contention for awards. Obviously you would not use those words, it'd be something like "Severe/lesser" or "Grade 1, 2" etc.

Agree with you Schoey, not only was that front page deplorable it had been going on far too long. Fremantle have copped that style of journalism from The West over the years/ decades and it was considered ok because not only were the Dockers under performing but the majority of West Australians are Eagles supporters and it's playing to their audience. Over time we as the general public have rewarded this behaviour from the only newspaper in town. Seeing what's happened to Simmo is nothing new to a Fremantle supporters eyes, admittedly it's stepped up a level but that's only because The West knows that style of journalism now gets reactions. To all the West Coast supporters, you have helped enable this media outlet and are now feeling what it's like when the boot is on the other foot. It's not karma, it just shouldn't have got to this position in the first place.

An idea for the Brownlow with regards to suspension, if it’s graded careless you should still be able to win it, if it’s intentional then you shouldn’t, so striking someone you still aren’t eligible but a tackle gone wrong is still fine, not 100% sure if you can get careless for whacking a bloke so could be a dumb idea hahaha

With an 8 and 52 record, of course the media and newspapers will come after Simmo. Sadly Simmo’s legacy at the club will be seen as the disastrous last 3 years than the success he had before that.

@@chinathesideyoudontsee8157bro we are all upset with the Wests disgusting display. But with Skeeter you need to look at this from all angles. In Melbourne media if you run your mouth and get the sack in journalism (or if a network/paper folds due to bankruptcy), there are a billion other outlets to fall back on and you will get rehired. They have a safety net and multiple opportunities if things go pear-shaped The situation in WA does not have that luxury… remember the infamous Tom Morris “liquor license” controversy? 😂. He got rehired… so yes I think Skeeter should have gone harder but there is a fear of having no money. Listen I was filthy with what happened to Simmo and I went scorched earth at the horrible rag of The West, but Skeeter is not the enemy.

Nah you're naive to think it was retribution to what Simmo said. Based on the last 3 years this was always going to be the front and back page. This was prepared well in advance. It had clearly been given some thought. I don't think the paper cares about anything apart from social media likes, sharing etc... Honestly that's where they're coming from. But I think it was nasty but also extremely short sighted as their readership will continue to plummet. But perhaps their modelling already reveals that and they're tryng to be like The Truth newspaper more. But make no mistake the quality of the visual effect and the striking image wasn't just someone thinking about what to put for a few hours.

That's a good one

People should consider all sides of the story before having a go at the sports media. I agree that the headline "See Ya Simmo" was in poor taste and shouldn't have been used. But neither should Adam Simpson have criticised the media in the first place. Simpson claimed that they were unfair in their portrayal of him and his players and this is simply not true. He tried to paint himself and the club as somehow being victims. The truth is that the club has been in disarray for some years now and Simpson's coaching has been utterly terrible as has the performances of too many of his players. The media's job is to be honest and report as such. All criticism Adam Simpson and his players received was completely warranted. So he should have kept his mouth shut about the media, especially considering that the Western Australian reporters were a lot more forgiving of his poor coaching than their Eastern states counterparts. If he and his players had done their jobs properly, the club wouldn't be where it is and the media stories would have reflected that. It was sheer foolishness on his part to make those disparaging comments. That said, just because Adam Simpson was stupid enough to criticise the media, it was extremely unprofessional of the West Australian to respond in kind. Two wrongs don't make a right and the reporter and his editor should've been mature enough to stick with facts and do so without using a condescending manner. To me, this is an example of Adam Simpson and the West Australian both being a bunch of sooks. Hopefully, both sides have the sense to apologise to one another in the near future.

I agree that Sam Mitchell was the driving force for that premiership, which is evident with how much we nosedived directly after Mitchell left. Simpson finished his 11 years with a 50% win ration. That's average. He only made top four on two occasions and we rarely made it past the second round of finals during his time. Too many failed seasons with a team that had plenty of talent, including guys like Will Schofield who was underutilised. Sure, he won a premiership, but i'm more grateful to Mitchell for that and premiership or not, you just can't ignore how bad Simpson's coaching has been for the second half of his time at the Eagles. The media headline of "See Ya Simmo" was absolutely in poor taste and unnecessary, but all the criticism Simpson and his players received over the last several years has been completely justified. I'm not convinced that he'll never coach again or be a total flop, but if he coaches again, he needs to learn how to reinvent himself and change his approach.
