Autopsy Has the game gone past certain coaches like Alistar Clarkson and John Longmire?

These two especially seem to be too old school.

One of those coaches has made 2 grand finals in the last 3 years , to say the game has gone past him is insane .

Sydney was absolutely flogged in those Grand Finals.

You could say that Sydney possibly need a change of voice in the dressing room but to suggest the game has gone past a coach that has made 2 GF’s in 3 years is still insane

The idea of football is to win flags, if you get flogged in a GF twice in 3 years, once when you were favourite, there's something wrong with the coaching tactics.

If the game has gone past someone you are not making GF’s . .

A lot of commentators are saying he should retire.

I look at North Melbourne and their current playing list. There isnt a lot there to work with. Clarkson can only do so much with that Squad.

I personally dont think Longmire isnt a bad coach.

You can bag him out to a Degree after the 2012 flag.

Port fans are hurling abuse at Ken Hinkley too. I dont think he is a bad coach either.

Longmire has Guided the swans to 4 grand finals since the end of 2012 or the start of 2013. Ken Hinkley has guided Port to 4 prelim finals in that same time frame.

People have every right to bag Longmire for his record on GF day , thsts fine.

I also have no issues with other Swans fans wanting to move Longmire on as he has taken this group as far as he can , that’s different to the game passing him by though .

It doesn’t say much about the other coaches in the league if the game has apparently gone past Longmire but he guided his team to top of the ladder and a grand final.

good points,

You can bag John Longmire for his team choking on grand finals.

But only 2 coaches get to a grand final each season. Since He was appointed at the end of 2010, the Swans have been in a few grand finals under the current coach. 2012, 2014, 2016, 2022 and 2024. If Justin Longmire can be a coach that can make a grand final, you need to think why the 16 other coaches cant make it each season.
