  • An unmitigated mess for the coach, for the players, for the club, for the state and indeed for the whole competition.
  • It was grisly on Saturday and that's how it presented in the Sunday Times.
  • It's the complete loss of hope and belief.
  • It happened in round 10 and it hasn't been recovered and it hasn't really even been arrested.
  • This is the poorest reality TV show I've watched.
  • I don't watch reality TV, Gerry, but I watched that and I couldn't stop watching it.
  • We've got to park that Adam Simpson's a good man.
  • We've got to park that he's a premiership coach because he's both of them.
  • Yeah, I don't think you can park the premiership coach part, but go on.
  • He can't coach this club anymore.
  • People are discussing that Trevor Nisbet's got to go the CEO.
  • He's not coaching the team.
  • He's running the club.
  • Are we looking for scapegoats?
  • Are we looking, oh, we've got to sacrifice somebody?
  • It's a hard game and coaches come and go and he's been a wonderful coach, an unbelievable coach, but the group is not playing for him.
  • The group is choosing to do the worst thing possible and he's to play bruised,
  • Free football.
  • We're not going to work hard.
  • We're not going to put the effort in.
  • So who's that an indictment on?
  • It's an indictment on the players.
  • It's a lack of respect for the coach.
  • It's a lack of respect for the club, everything.
  • So the players have got to wear it, but the coach has to wear it as well.
  • He's in charge of bringing that group together.
  • I'm really angry with the players.
  • Everyone's angry with the players.
  • You're human beings.
  • You're playing like kids.
  • That was disgusting.
  • That was absolutely disgusting.
  • But Adam Simpson as coach must take responsibility for how the team is playing at the moment.
  • Now they might not have the experience and they might have injuries.
  • Their injury alibi is nowhere near as strong now.
  • It's populated, but they aren't the same high-end experienced players that were on it, I think, in the Round 10 game against Hawthorne, which was much more understandable than what transpired.
  • But they're human beings, Gerrard.
  • Fight.
  • Fight.
  • Change the whole game plan.
  • Tell them what we're going to do today.
  • We're going to lay 120 tackles today.
  • Five tackles each, all of you.
  • That's all we're doing.
  • I don't care.
  • Five tackles each.
  • We're going to be hard to play against.
  • Not what we saw on the weekend.
  • Now they have to make a decision.
  • They do.
  • Whether Adam Simpson goes on or not.
  • Now he might survive the rest of the year.
  • They might improve.
  • But I don't see how a coach can survive what we saw on the weekend and what we have been seeing this year.
  • As it was unfolding on Saturday, were you just working on the natural course of history is that the coach would be gone on Monday?
  • No, I thought he was going to announce it after the game.
  • I thought he was going to walk in to the club and say, you know what, I love this club.
  • I love the players.
  • I've really enjoyed it.
  • I've looked after my family.
  • I've come over here and you've given me a really great life.
  • But I feel that I probably aren't the person to coach this team at the moment.
  • But he came out and said the opposite.
  • He said, I am the person.
  • I'm thinking, God, that confuses me a little bit.
  • But his belief in himself is absolute.
  • They're all fighters, they can get out of any fix.
  • But this is not a bad fix, Gerard.
  • This is a combustible group of players that aren't listening.
  • It's not computing in their head.
  • People say footy is not a hard game.
  • It can be hard when you play like that.
  • But when you're playing together, geez, it's not a hard game.
  • It's fun and, God, it's invigorating.
  • Where's the invigoration?
  • Where is it?
  • I could not believe I was watching professional footballers play football like that.
  • Dean Bailey was sacked by Melbourne and they lost by 186 down at Geelong.
  • And I think everyone thought that Dean Bailey was in trouble a quarter time that day.
  • And the Eagles have come out and said, no, we're fully supportive of Adam Simpson.
  • I might be old now, Gerard, but
  • I can't see how they can stand by this situation.
  • So it's an administration that...it's delusional.
  • And it's delusional because it runs the state.
  • They are an unchallenged football club.
  • They're answerable to no one.
  • So at times, historically, they have presented as a protection racket.
  • And so there's an element of...they were accused of having their heads in the sand.
  • Of course they had their heads in the sand.
  • The chairman last week was saying they weren't going to win the wooden spoon.
  • They were about to start winning games.
  • There were forecasts coming into the year that with an ounce of luck they'd be making finals.
  • That was never their trajectory.
  • They've ignored all of the either indecision or poor decisions that they've made across two or three years.
  • And it now combines to be here.
  • And that statement from the chairman yesterday was just full of platitude.
  • No, it was.
  • We won't tolerate it.
  • Well, guess what?
  • They're tolerating it.
  • There's no other way to read it.
  • This will turn.
  • Well, how?
  • And when?
  • How on earth will this turn?
  • Do you know if the president can be challenged over there?
  • No, because it's insulated.
  • There's the club and then there's the football commission.
  • It runs as a protection racket.
  • And right now, not being answerable to anybody has served the club especially poorly.
  • Aging over time, yes.
  • There have been moments in history, but right now, from the on-field perspective...
  • Thank God they're a rich club, Gerard.
  • Because the AFL would be ringing...
  • If that was any other club,
  • St Kilda, it's what, 12 men in debt?
  • Whatever would they get?
  • They'd get 25 men.
  • If that were St Kilda, you know what the AFL would be doing?
  • Gil McLaughlin, his last act, be ringing up saying, replace the coach.
  • This can't continue.
  • Yeah, so I don't know whether that's the coach part of the conversation or not, but you're right.
  • This is the richest and, to some degree, the most powerful club in the competition.
  • Presenting like that on the field, that is so incongruous.
  • And as for the players, the captain, Luke Shuey, came forth today.
  • It's hurting.
  • Yeah, we're not rolling in on Monday, high-fiving and yahooing.
  • Nah, the boys are hurting behind closed doors.
  • So we'll keep working to improve and yeah, you'd hope we get a good response this week.
  • We're all in it together.
  • I reckon I've said two or three times in these press conferences this year that we've got his back.
  • I don't know what more he could have done from the coaching box on a night where we let a team get 200 points.
  • Coaches aren't going to change that around.
  • So they don't have his back.
  • There's West Coast are living a cycle of platitudes and excuses.
  • Yeah, they are.
  • They don't have his back.
  • First of all, well done.
  • The only way to show that is to be out on the field doing it.
  • Well done for putting your hand up, Luke Shuey.
  • That's fantastic.
  • But those words don't stand up.
  • You're right, they haven't got his back.
  • They've got his back.
  • They're not playing like that.
  • So what is wrong?
  • There's something fundamentally wrong.
  • Lee Matthews always calls it a circuit breaker.
  • And sometimes I agree with Lee.
  • Most times I do.
  • I've been umming and ahhing about this.
  • Can you fight through it?
  • Can you fight through it?
  • No, it needs a circuit breaker.
  • And I don't think, you know, all the talk about Trevor Nesbitt at the sea, I don't know if that's a circuit breaker.
  • Maybe it needs a complete clean out.
  • Maybe it needs a new era.
  • Mate, we're sitting over here in, as someone said today, in the cheap seats.
  • But we can only talk about what we see.
  • And what we saw on the weekend was one of the most shameful performances West Coast have put in.
  • I remember a game at Windy Hill a long, long time ago, Gerard.
  • I think they kicked two or three goals in there and some kicked 20-odd.
  • It was like in their first year.
  • This ain't supposed to happen, you know.
  • It's not 30 years on.
  • No way.
  • There's no development happening at West Coast for whatever this year was supposed to be.
  • There is no development that's going to serve them any good in the manner in which these games are being played.
  • So Adam Simpson was with us.
  • This was April 3. And he prescribed the scenario at West Coast.
  • And he really did give us something of a timeline for it.
  • We identified as a club two years ago that we're going to transition our list and rebuild transition, whatever you want to call it.
  • And the question was asked then, am I the right man to take us through the next phase?
  • So that involves a different field than my first eight or nine years.
  • So that means now we look at our style of play because you'd be foolish to think we just keep rolling out the same direction that we've been using.
  • So I've had to work with some new coaches on something on where we see the game going whilst we turn the list over and exit some of our legacy players.
  • And there'll be a time where it's not me anymore.
  • And that's fine.
  • But my brief at the moment is to build the next premiership list and to expose them to where the game is at the moment and where the game is going.
  • And to do that after being here for eight or nine years, it's a different field than getting in a brand new coach and starting from the bottom.
  • So I understand my role and I'm up for it and I'm really keen to see it through.
  • But it's not a short-term fix.
  • And the depths of it now revealing themselves.
  • And they were true words.
  • Absolutely true words.
  • But the problem is they don't have their rebuild list yet.
  • No, it doesn't look like it.
  • This is still the list with the legacy players in it that has gone to the bottom of the ravine.
  • Let's just hope it improves.
