亚当·辛普森在赛季开局惨淡后离开西海岸老鹰队

在西海岸队在赛前决定不派队长参加对阵墨尔本的掷硬币比赛后，亚当·辛普森在赛季开局惨淡后与西海岸老鹰队分道扬镳。

West Coast coach Adam Simpson has been sacked following a horror start to the season, which included a pre-game decision to not send a captain for the coin toss against Melbourne.

西海岸队主教练亚当·辛普森在本赛季糟糕的开局后被解雇，其中包括赛前决定不派队长参加对阵墨尔本的掷硬币比赛。

The Eagles’ season hit a new low on the weekend after they were hammered 17.10 (112) to 8.10 (58) in a defeat at the MCG.

老鹰队在周末以 17.10 (112) 比 8.10 (58) 输给 MCG 后，赛季创下新低。

The loss — taking the Eagles to 3-13 in 2024 — was the last game in charge for Simpson as the club announced his departure from the role after 11 years on Tuesday afternoon.

这场失利——2024年老鹰队以3胜13负——是辛普森执教的最后一场比赛，俱乐部在周二下午宣布他将辞去执教11年的职务。

Pressure was mounting on Simpson in recent weeks and the 54-point humiliation on the weekend was the end of his reign as coach.

最近几周，辛普森的压力越来越大，周末的 54 分耻辱结束了他作为教练的统治。

And while Simpson has copped plenty of the criticism in recent weeks, Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes has piled on the pressure on the players having called out a telling moment before the match got underway.

尽管辛普森最近几周受到了很多批评，但阿德莱德港伟大的凯恩·科内斯在比赛开始前喊出了一个有说服力的时刻，给球员们施加了巨大的压力。

In his 150th milestone game, Hunt emerged as the representative for West Coast at the toss against Melbourne skipper Max Gawn.

在他的第 150 场具有里程碑意义的比赛中，亨特代表西海岸对阵墨尔本船长马克斯·高恩 (Max Gawn)。

While it was a nice gesture from the club to recognise Hunt’s achievements in the AFL, Cornes was left baffled as to why West Coast didn’t send a captain out to the middle to make a statement for the struggling side.

虽然俱乐部对亨特在 AFL 取得的成就表示了认可，但科恩斯还是对西海岸队为何不派一名队长到中场为这支陷入困境的球队发表声明感到困惑。

Cornes called out the leadership group, including co-captain Oscar Allen, for not making a good enough effort throughout the game. This comes as pressure mounts on the club to make changes.

科恩斯指责包括联合队长奥斯卡·艾伦在内的领导团队在整场比赛中没有做出足够的努力。俱乐部面临的做出改变的压力越来越大。

“I think the players need to take some responsibility and their leaders do as well. I was watching the coin toss, why is Jayden Hunt tossing the coin? After the week they have had… and Jayden Hunt because he is playing game 150 is tossing the coin,” Cornes said.

“我认为球员们需要承担一些责任，他们的领导人也需要承担一些责任。我正在看抛硬币，杰登·亨特为什么要抛硬币？一周之后，他们已经……杰登·亨特因为他正在玩第 150 场比赛而正在掷硬币，”科恩斯说。

“I want my captain to shake hands with Max Gawn, then come back and say ‘we are kicking this way’ and address the group.”

“我希望我的队长与马克斯·高恩握手，然后回来说‘我们正在向这边踢’并对大家讲话。”

Cornes then labelled the Eagles’ body language as “shocking” after they went down 37 points in the first quarter.

在老鹰队第一节落后 37 分后，科恩斯将老鹰队的肢体语言称为“令人震惊”。

Allen was singled out after a moment where he was easily shoved out of the way when contesting a mark.

艾伦在争夺得分时很容易被推开，随后他就被挑出来了。

Cornes called for the leaders to stand up and show the playing group they need to change their efforts.

科恩斯呼吁领导人站起来，向比赛团队表明他们需要改变他们的努力。

“Be a captain, go and shake the other captain, address the group and start better than that. It’s not just on Adam Simpson,” Cornes added.

“成为一名队长，去说服另一位队长，向大家讲话，然后开始比这更好的事情。这不仅仅是亚当·辛普森的问题，”科恩斯补充道。

While Cornes took aim at some of the players for their efforts in the humiliating loss, which takes the Eagles to 3-13 in 2024, it hasn’t stopped Simpson coming under plenty of criticism.

虽然科恩斯批评了一些球员在这场耻辱性失利中所做的努力，这场失利让老鹰队在 2024 年以 3 胜 13 负的战绩，但这并没有阻止辛普森受到大量批评。

Simpson addressed the growing calls for a change at the Eagles, despite the 48-year-old’s contract finishing at the end of 2025.

尽管 48 岁的辛普森的合同将于 2025 年底到期，但老鹰队提出变革的呼声日益高涨，辛普森对此做出了回应。

Although a poor run in recent weeks prompted the end of his 11-year reign at the Eagles.

尽管最近几周的糟糕表现促使他结束了在老鹰队11年的统治。

Speaking after the Melbourne loss, Simpson said he was comfortable and aware that his time in the game will not last forever.

输掉墨尔本比赛后，辛普森表示他很舒服，并且意识到他在比赛中的时间不会永远持续下去。

“I’m here to do a job as best I can and I’ll do that until I get tapped on the shoulder,” Simpson said.

“我来这里是为了尽我所能地完成工作，我会一直做下去，直到有人拍拍我的肩膀为止，”辛普森说。

“That’s not really a question. I know how long the road’s going to be and I’m up for it, but if the club’s not then they’re not.

“这并不是一个真正的问题。我知道这条路有多长，我也准备好了，但如果俱乐部不这么做，那么他们也不会这么做。

“It’s going to be up and down, the last few weeks have been down. It doesn’t mean all hope is lost. We can’t ride that wave. Whether it’s me or someone else, it’s going to take time. I sort of know how long the road is going to be. I’m up for it, but if the club’s not, then they’re not. That’s fine. I’m okay with my football mortality. It’s OK.”

“它会起起落落，过去几周一直在下降。这并不意味着所有的希望都破灭了。我们无法乘风破浪。无论是我还是其他人，这都需要时间。我大概知道这条路还有多长。我愿意，但如果俱乐部不这样做，那么他们也不会。没关系。我对自己的足球死亡率很满意。没关系。”
