‘Tried to tank’: Embattled coach’s cheeky jab at critics after win to avoid spoon
“It’s credit to the players, they were really disappointed last week .“There’s pride in their club – you accept the criticism and the only way you can respond is on the field.”
Simpson cut an emotional figure on the sidelines as the final siren sounded, after the Eagles kicked five last quarter goals to steal the win. “Rumours of my coaching death have been greatly exaggerated,” Fox Footy’s David King said of Simpson.“The heat is on in Western Australia, there’s no doubt about that. He’s just shifted the hot potato from the West Coast to the Western Bulldogs.”
West Coast’s star of the show Jamie Cripps, who kicked five goals, threw his support behind the embattled Simpson in the strongest possible way.“It’s on us boys coming out each week and playing like we did today. “Last week was very disappointing. We just wanted to come out and have a crack today pretty much for Simmo.And the small forward had a near slip of the tongue as he pulled up short of dropping an ‘f-bomb’ during the live interview.“It’s good to see the boys having a good crack today.The win lifts West Coast into 17th, relegating North Melbourne back to the wooden spoon with one round to go.
