Yep it’s pretty clear that you’re either in or out with Longmire, despite all the praise for him being a great man manager

Every sports club is the same , not all can like each other , or the coach , it's life

Any reason for that mate? Bad attitude or something similar?

On one hand, the coach plays a role in working through the personalities of the 40+ players on the list and will make a judgement as to who will be a net positive vs a net negative on the playing group. Fair play imo.

The second part of the equation is if the coach has a certain bias for particular character traits. Say for players who just say yes, go with the grain and don't challenge the status quo. Then we may have a bit of a problem.

The players who have remained on the list have gone on to shit the bed in the last 2 grand finals, while there have been others who have gone on to carve out successful careers at other clubs and have even won premierships. Mumford, Nankervis, aliir, Mitchell, Newman.

I'm not saying all of the those players were offload because of their attitude. What I am saying is, do we have the right mix of players. Those who follow every order. Plus those who may not be perfect clubmen, but will get the job done on-field when it matters most.

I think there's an argument to be had.
