        100% agree. Crazy take from The West Australian.

          It's funny.

          If you take the temperature of the supporters (and you have no choice over here - they constantly tell you what the temperature is!!) they probably wouldn't like that. Most of them:

          1/. Still love Simmo.
          2/. Begrudgingly admit it's probably time for a change.

          If that chart was Bevo's win-loss we would have burnt the new facility to the ground if the tenor of the 'Sharp Axes' thread is to be believed.

          I'm not a WC fan (at all) but the supporters still showing up to games in massive numbers has been a real credit to them.
          What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

            Averaging over 43,000 to home games. Incredible effort.

            We have rarely been out of the 8 During Bevo's tenure and our supporters either don't show up, or continually whinge.

              What percentage of overall supporters though attend.....?

              I mean we just don't have a huge base. They have half a state so it's misleading.

                And then from the club itself, not even a thank you for your time and efforts which is pathetic in their statement.

                  Simmo has done exceptionally well and it's a shame for his record that they have been so poor in the last 3 years. Losing some of the players was the catalyst for his early departure.

                    They don't get the numbers skewed by oppo supporters attending though...

                      I only responded as I recalled someone doing the analysis attendance per membership and I found it really interesting.

                        In solidarity with my fellow whingers this sent me on a journey I don't recommend ...

                        Bevo's been in charge for a total of 219 home-and-away rounds, each ascribed a weekly ladder spot.

                        We've been inside the eight for 107 of those weeks.

                        We've been outside the eight for the remaining 112 weeks ... and let's call it 119 once the next 7 rounds are filed away.

                        So by season's end it'll break down at roughly 47% 'IN' / 53% 'OUT'.

                        Dunno if that's especially revelatory for any of us.

                          Great Stats.

                          or you can look at it another way. Missed 3 of 9 seasons (not including this year) in top 8 at end of season or 33.3%

                          Of course we are all never happy if we can't get to the big dance, that is why we are passionate supporters.

                              And how, pray tell, did you manage to come across this information.

                              I want to imagine you spent hours collating and comparing

                                I think it's the better move. I was listening to his manager just an hour ago and he genuinely didn't seem to know if Simmo would coach this weekend or not.
