9 (33) points, their lowest derby result in West Coast history.
co-host Mark Robinson said on Fox Footy’s AFL 360 on Monday night that the Eagles’ derby loss to Fremantle was “really depressing to watch”.
The Eagles remain at the bottom of the AFL standings with just 2 wins and 19 losses, a winning percentage of just 50.

“I don’t think he’s going to survive, which I’ve felt like for a while,” AFL senior reporter Damian Barrett told Triple M’s Rush Hour on Monday.
“You can’t survive a carnage like this.
” “I think they made the decision to keep him until the end of the year.
There are still two games left and then the whole story begins.
” Robinson said.
Speaking on AFL 360: “I don’t know what’s going on with Adam Simpson.
Of course he can train, but how are the trainers going to get through it?
Not just this season.
Worse yet, are the Eagles actually turning the page on Simpson?
In this case, it would mean a $6 million decision for West Coast, as the coach is under contract for two more years (reportedly around $100 million per season) if he decides to move on from the separation.
In that case, the football division’s tax bill would be $4 million.
AFL 360 co-host Gerard Whateley said “a lot of changes need to happen at this football club”, but it remains unclear whether Simpson will be part of those changes.
“Adam told us at the beginning of the season that this was an ‘open eye.

He said he strongly believes that.
“I think people forget that the club is in this period of stagnation.
” “A lot of us players wouldn’t be in the room without that downtime,” Naitanui told reporters on Monday.

“Shooey and I came at the end of 2008, after the club had won the Premier League in 2006, but we were struggling – and we were one of the first choices.

“I think this is starting to happen now.
You see guys like Elijah (Hewett), Ruben (Gimbey) and Noah Long emerging.
Perhaps they are the next generation of players who will help the older players develop and develop.
“I think you’ve changed.
