A clearly frustrated Adam Simpson says “nothing good” came out of West Coast’s 61-point hammering at the hands of Hawthorn and wants the finger pointed at the collective starting with himself. The Eagles were well beaten across all areas of the ground by a ruthless Hawks outfit in front of their home fans, going down 14.10 (94) to 3.9 (33) at Optus Stadium on Sunday, 30 June 2024. It was their second biggest loss for the season at their home ground, but came when they had arguably the best side on paper they’d put out in recent years.
Simpson said he couldn’t find any positives out of the match, having been competitive for most of the season.
“It was disappointing in every facet from the start to the finish,” Simpson said. “The Hawks were really good, they transitioned better than us, cleaner, beaten in the midfield, we couldn’t get out of our back half and we couldn’t convert at the other end. Everything we tried didn’t work, the things we’ve been chasing from the start of the year, the little things were not there and until we get consistent at those things, we’re going to struggle.”
