First it was Nathan Buckley to feel the heat, now it's Adam Simpson's turn.
The wiggles are an absolute basket case at the moment. The loss, at home, to lowly North Melbourne, the latest nail in Adam Simpson's coffin?
West Coast Eagles fans call for Adam Simpson to be sacked after shocking 92-point loss to Sydney July 4th headline in Perth. The loss to the Roos can only add further heat to the coach of 8 years.
Since their narrow GF win over the Pies, their journey almost mirrors that of the runners up, yet Simpson, until now, has got by unquestioned.
The recruitment of Tim Kelly one of the many questions being asked.
Poised to miss the finals for the first time since 2014 (Simpson's first season as coach), surely his time is up?

| One flag, 2 GFs, finals in 6 of 7 years and a win/loss percentage over 64. Whatever the position over there, there's not much of a parallel between Simpson's position and Buckley's. |

Maybe they'll hire Buckley.

Since 2018 their ladder position has slid; 6th, 7th & 8th.
The last months performances have been nothing short of disgraceful.
They sacrificed future draft picks to secure Kelly.
Their game plan is stale and has been worked out by the competition.
I'd say the future looks brighter for Collingwood than it does for the wiggles in regards to youth.
The only real difference in how the 2 coaches have gone, is the 5 point margin in the GF.
Will be interesting to see where they are after 10 years of Simpson, if he does in fact last that long.

I'm guessing they'll need to win 3 more.. they play; Saints, Us, Demons, Freo and the Lions. If we can beat them, I think they will miss.... almost mirroring our slide, since that 5 point game in 2018.

| Yeah, they are still touch and go. But there are many teams "trying" to miss the 8. Richmond, Freo, etc... |

Simmo has been under fire this week for his comments about cutbacks to footy departments...
He said it could lead to "safer" player selections. His example was private-school kids whose parents were still together...
The **** hit the fan!  |

Clarkson certainly has a lot of things to weigh up over the coming months, that's for sure!

This Freo game is like an EF! Sadly, Freo are really banged up, so WC are favoured. Not a good time for Brayshaw to get himself suspended. |

At least he won't have to worry about old mate belting him in the mouth again.

The wiggles slide beautifully from the 8. Such a great finals series without the flogs over here carrying on. Now, we gota just finish the Scums season and see freo scrape in. Their supporters are actually not a bad bunch.

Eat shit and die, Weasels.
Hoping we can upset the Dopers, and cause a trainwreck.
