Coach Justin Longmuir Pt 2

[Raz]

I have hope Raz.

I hope that 2025 is the year that the dockade of dominance begins. That 2025 is the year that the Dockers win the first of many premierships over a 10 year period, finally announcing ourselves as a true powerhouse.

yes would be good. but i see nothing in team changes that will bring that about.

Will await some games into season to see if we are devloping but an Injured Darcy at season start is not good.

We need to realsie that Jackosn is not a number one ruckman . we have others in the squad. but hey such is DOCKERISM we only folow the team we know not where they go

Most posters on this board blindly praise anything supporting the club and attack anyone with a different opinion.

King Huski and Mattis are like little cheerleaders. They think giving you a thumbs down on the internet means something.

Going to jump in and defend them here.

Huskii especially regularly watches and reports on training, obviously speaks to a few ITK, and tends to steer clear of hyperbole. Given that, I would weigh his opinion more highly than most on here. We live in a world where we all believe our thoughts are as valuable as the next guy - sometimes that's true, but often it isn't. It's tiring when someone presents a factual argument based on nothing but 'the vibe', positively or negatively. As for the post that kicked this off, it made little, if any sense, and Raz got ribbed for it. Fair bump, play on.

You see nothing in team changes?

Young squad with natural improvement to come. We traded in Bolton to help fill an absolute need. We've got 2 of the best young key talls, and Jackson who could be absolutely anything. Sturt has improved out of sight as well.

Our midfield is stacked with talent. Darcy looks amazing, Young will be in his second year, Brayshaw is fully fit after suffering half the year with a knee injury. Another year into Sharp and Drizzy will see us finally have 2 good wings again.

Our backline is set and forget. Pearce, Cox and Ryan are 3 of the best defenders going round then Walker that took a few scalps last year on the best smalls in the comp. Clark and Wagner driving the ball off halfback.. Draper as well...

If we dont play finals I'm all for getting rid of JLO. In my mind there simply isn't any excuses at all.

I'm just a passionate Freo supporter who does look for the positives during pre season. I'm definitely not any more knowledgeable than others on here even though I do have a few ITK contacts.

I support the club and think JLO is a very switched on coach but that doesn't mean he's the best AFL coach.

I do appreciate the kind words. Thank you

Not sure what to say if you see nothing in team changes.....

Longmuir is at the moment an unsuccessful appointment, and he will be until he isn't. It's almost a truism for rookie coaches because success is measured by doing well in finals, and ultimately a premiership.

I am impressed by the list building and the long term commitment of a passionate group of exciting players. They are the most important part of the equation.

Wigarus (noun, informal, derogatory)

1. A person exhibiting behaviour that is excessively irritating, foolish, or self-centred; synonymous with being a “knob” or a “bellend.”
• Example: “Don’t be such a wigarus, mate—just admit you were wrong.”
2. An individual who complicates simple matters for their own amusement or to display perceived superiority.
• Example: “He’s acting like a total wigarus.”

 

[mattis117]

Wigarus you make it sound like we're JL sycophants, which isn't true at all. I suppose everyone else looks optimistic when your own views are 100% certainty in failure of the current coach. I reiterate what I said recently, it's last chance saloon.

We're all repeating ourselves because you have some chip on your shoulder about this topic. The season needs to get underway so we can see if the good off season indicators do result in the expected improvements.

I attack weak opinions. Simple as that. If you're going to run with an outlier opinion, expect to have it challenged. It's weak to blind side attack and try to generate tribal support.

This is a forum where you will get replied to if you state an opinion. Hence why it isn't for everyone. Many cannot handle their opinion being challenged. These types go to echo chambers in the Facebook comments section.

E.g. Comments such as i can't see how our changes this off season will improve us.

Well bloody hell you must not be paying much attention.

I said i see NOTHING that will Bring a premiership this year and the next 10yrs of dominance .

put posts together when reading not just respond to the one line.. That jsut like the Cults who split from one church to form another church arguing over one line in their holy books

So if you see some off season changes that will lead to a ten year dominace for freo. good for you. i dont see it. We still young and developing.

Didnt see any ribbing.

Cant get ribbed for expressing an opinion .

If it was facts is stated then sure ribb me and post the true facts. but opinions are only a persons perceptions of hte world and our Perceptions are our realities therefore they are the truth to us.

It's a joke our board knows

ahh not all on this board knows the joke.

perhaps it a little clique of informed people

But that is the way of social media...

turned personal all of a sudden

I guess that is the way.


I dont agree with all he said . but the truth is that somepeople think being given a THUMBS down is the end of the world and some people think Givign a thumbs down will cause devistation .

social media is powerful. but luckily we can just walk away and so disagreement is fine. WE dont need approval of others on line. But we also should not try to push people away even if we dont agree with them.

Cool story bro

Most actually do.

You're very hard to understand today. Your literacy skills have taken a dive.

I reiterate what I said recently, it's last chance saloon.

2023 was last chance saloon. Then we extended to 2024 after missing finals. Then 2024 was last chance saloon. Then we extended and missed finals again.

I'm tired of repeated last chance saloons. I hope he's going to take us to Valhalla. But another season of missing finals will likely send me mad(der).
