To be announced later this week - Simpson to join Freo as an assistant coach. He wanted to wait until after the Derby so he could assess both sides before making his decision. Apparently he was so unimpressed with Captain-No-Stat-I'm-Checking-Out Allen and Figjam-Worth-Every-Cent-School-Bully Reid, he just couldn't say no to the offer made at the start of the season.
As a former centreman himself, he'll be taking over as midfield coach to improve Freo's centre clearances. Freo needs all the help it can get with Darcy, Jackson, Young, Brayshaw, Serong, Fyfe and Bolton all a bunch of useless flogs who need an experienced coach to give them a helping hand. Welcome Adam!
