Alarm bells disrupt Adam Simpson’s presser

Alarm bells are ringing at West Coast, but it has nothing to do with concerns over Essendon’s lethal backline.

Eagles coach Adam Simpson was in the middle of a press conference on Monday when an alarm went off at the club’s training base in Lathlain.

Simpson was midway through answering a question about Essendon’s speedy defence when the alarm interrupted him.

“That was a lie was it?” Simpson quipped in reference to the beeping noise that followed his answer about Essendon’s defence.

So what was the emergency? A smoking toastie machine in the building’s cafe.

The alarm lasted less than 80 seconds before being de-activated, allowing Simpson to resume his press conference.
