Coach Justin Longmuir

[freo1997]

Imagine if we snagged John Longmire!

Would Bell be forgiven on here if he got his old Premiership teammate here?

 

[mayne iac]

And all the junk talk from Kane Cornes about Freo's focus on Lobb.
Nowhere does he find it relevant to mention that Lobb was rated the Bulldogs worst player onfield according to the AFL Player Ratings.
... never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

AFL Player Rating Points
33.1 - Bontempelli
26.1 - Macrae
23.3 - Liberatore
20.9 - Treloar
20.7 - English
18.4 - Williams
13.2 - Daniel
10.6 - Johannisen
9.0 - McNeil

4.6 - Jones
4.4 - Weightman
4.1 - Duryea
2.2 - Baker
1.8 - Ugle-Hagen
0.4 - McLean
-2.4 - Lobb

If he was the worst player we definitely shouldn't have gone near him. Mb get into the Bont instead next time?

I think the point that the Freo bashers want us to ignore is that the Lobb attention actually worked and resulted in Lobb having a shocker.

But yeah, well before the last quarter I was well and truly over the sight of seeing Bontempelli do as he liked seemingly unchecked.
Even if you gift him 5 Free Kicks I think there would still be a nett benefit given the number of times he set up scoring opportunities.

dropping marks in the back half is the answer guys…

 

[freo1997]

I’m not sure Luke Jackson dropping marks in the back half is the answer guys…

Compete, spoil and run off your
man on the spread.

Only propose this as our backs have been awful in the contested stuff and lack spring in their step.

I think that's an options 4 years down the track if he really doesnt progress but we legit need him in the midfield and forward of centre - he's probably had more shots on goal than any of our players and definitely the most of our talls. Pearce (and backline) is playing horribly but you just need to back them to figure it out. Moving back now wouldnt solve anything apart from for maybe one or two games.

No flipping way, we paid too much to move him there. I would consider moving Treacy down back but only if we give him a solid chance at the CHF role.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I agree with that, but how does any of that have anything to do with the Lobb attention.
Treloars goal, like so many other Bulldog goals on the night, showed up our issues with our midfield and their problems with contested footy and ground ball gets.

I imagine instead of pushing and shoving Lobb in that situation they would all be expected to either defend a zone or a player?

 

[E Shed]

We need wingers. Hughes is doing an ok job in the circumstances but Aish has been well below his best.
I think Chapman & Nod are probably it going forward.
For now we need Wilson or Hughes plus Aish back in defense, maybe Clark & or Young up on the wings, Nod if he’s ready.
We need run, carry & most of all; dare & attack.
And Erasmus must play.
Corbett stays, Johnson stays, Sturt stays.

Amiss? We should be pumping games into him like there is no tomorrow.

I think Tabs going down all but guarantees he plays if fit.

Amiss is a given for me at this point. Not even up for debate. Hence I didn’t bother mentioning him

 

[s_wd6]

Boyd is just as useless as JL lmfao. "Lapses" "up and down" "fluctuations", instead of acknowledging that there's actually a problem.

JL needs to pee and Moose won’t tell him where the dunnies are.

A portaloo boycott in progress?? Shock horror?

Maybe Justin was asking why he didn't get one of the trendy bucket hats??

Imagine if we snagged John Longmire!

Would Bell be forgiven on here if he got his old Premiership teammate here?

Would never happen due to Bell.
If anything it would need Bell to go before Longmire would even think about it.

The two rarely speak, and it isn't because of Horse.

I wouldn’t be averse to getting Buckley in if we’re talking replacement options, my opinion of him has dramatically changed for the better since he’s been in the media. I think he’d suit for a lot of reasons:
I reckon he’s watched the Pies intently the last year and now very much aware that fast ball movement is the key.
I think he’d be quite a respected / authoritative figure to our younger team - And to Bell, certainly not Peters “Bell Boy”!
He’s well and truely entrenched in the VFL Boys Club so our media focus and AFL storyline would be vastly different- just watch how different our umpiring will be!
And no doubt he’s still got that burning desire to break his AFL premiership drought …
Just spitballing but if we do replace Jlo I’d hope we at least ask the question.

I like Bucks and I think he can coach but, dude is also defensive. Maybe he'll open up 2nd time round but not sure we could all handle another defensive coach (unless he wins lots of games right from the start).

Yeah for sure, was super defensive previously but you’d hope he’s also watching Lyon become more attacking and would do the same if he got another crack

Treacy is a goal kicking forward, I guarantee it.

With Taberener out of the team he is a completely different player.

If we are gunna persist with bombing it into the F50 to 3 on 1s, might as well have a big bodied, pack crasher to either take a big mark or bring it to ground.

Trust me, Treacy is the answer.

Yah, I echo your confidence. I think he's got it.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I agree with Treacey. I think he has the perfect attributes to compliment Amiss'. Once they have time to gel etc and we surround them with a couple of great smalls, I'm not worried about the forward line.

We do need something extra in the middle though. Is that Erasmus?

 

[Freomaniac]

Amiss? We should be pumping games into him like there is no tomorrow.

In a way yes....

If Amiss was a 3rd or 4th rounder or even a rookie pick, I would let him play at least 10-12 games this season and next season.

The bloke has talent.

I have said had Taberners body been fit enough to play full forward this season and 2024, I would let Traecy and Amiss rotate each week for the forward flank and let them play 10-12 games each for this season and next season.

That means by 2025, Jackson is 23/24 years old. Tracey will be in his 5th year as fully developed. Amiss will have 30 game and 30 goals and fully ready too.

Jackson, Tracy, Amiss, Frederick, Schulz and Switkowski should be. Solid forward line

I would have thought Sturt would be the extra in the middle, but I like Raz too so squeeze him in there as well.

Bucks or Pyke if you had to choose?

 

[Hamann188]

Is Paul Roos still coaching out there somewhere?

The Saints are still defensive beasts. Comfortably the best defense and a decent attack. Not sure Lyon has changed at all tbh.

Bucks or Pyke if you had to choose?

Both have baggage but Pyke's team was better to watch (as is Sydney now).

 

[Freomaniac]

Bucks or Pyke if you had to choose?

Pyke if given the choice.

Don't care if he is an ex eagle.

Longmuir is the WA guy and ex dockers player to get to finals and won a final at this club.

All the other coaches that have lead Freo to finals wins, (Connolly, Harvey and Lyon) are all Victorian
