Coach Justin Longmuir

[MadMundy]

Love his ideology of becoming a more contested team, hope we see that translate into next year

 

[Sully90]

"I want to inspire our players to improve each other"

God dam I love this line

Hard to watch, his pressers won't be fun

 

[holy diver]

Strap yourselves in.

Does J-Lo have twitter...?

 

[Clems Knee]

A lot of emphasis on getting the assistant coaches to be strong educators.

Avoided criticising previous coach.

Good.

To be fair most coaches take some time to become polished media performers. RTB came to us after being a head coach for 5 years, naturally he was going to be far more polished.

Come on now SM, he'll grow into them.

We'll have him firing shots off at journos soon enough.

Hard to watch, his pressers won't be fun

His eyes don't dart around nearly enough

 

[Clems Knee]

No names, but we will be looking to add to our coaching staff.
I’ve worked with a lot of people.

 

[MadMundy]

I like his professionalism of stating he'll sit down with the current assistant coaches to look at their strengths before making any decision of bringing in some new blood.

[sees 'Clarkson' trending on Twitter]

oh, it's Jeremy.

 

[Bastyy]

God there are some shit questions "Do you think you're the man to give Freo their first premiership?"

Gee what do you think he's gonna say

 

[MadMundy]

Bell not applied for CEO confirmed. Good on him

 

[salim malik]

Is Hagdorn there?

 

[Purple Jesus]

Hard to watch, his pressers won't be fun

Jesus. Give him a minute.

 

[FreoRicci]

The questions are such upper cutters. Typical WA media stuff.
Do you think you can improve on the previous coach?
Can you deliver Freo their maiden premiership?
What do you aspire to change the culture?

 

[raffrox]

Ah here we go again... read the whole post.

Then get back to me champ.

I think you will be delighted with what you read...

Seriously, how often do you not read a whole post and instead infer meaning from one portion of a post?

I said I will be hoping for a 4-6 finish and will be smiling when my dad tips us for the flag. Does that not speak to me thinking of the overall outlook of the club above anything else?

I also made a point about the CEO and S&C.

I also said that Longmuir has the chance to look great because the club is in a good position.

Got all that champ?

So you addressed my comment about whether you want the club to do well or not. Nice work. We all want to see good stuff happen for our team.

What about the fact that you're still got to go the backhanded comment because Freo supporters that wanted Ross gone are being positive.

Fate loves irony? There's zero irony in people who wanted a new coach being positive.

The fact that I still have to respond this kind of stuff in a thread about our new coach is the laughable thing.

 

[salim malik]

Jesus. Give him a minute.

It's a fact, it's hard to watch, he is nervous, I get it.

 

[Arcassius]

That comment on Sonny and Hill - in amongst being nervous, shows a little of the banter that I think will come out as he settles into the role. He's getting more comfortable as it goes on. Some good points about what his priorities are

I didn't watch the presser but can you really outdo lyonball in terms of being a more contested team?

Ross's gameplan was quite literally ignore skills, bog it down and make every possession a contest.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

As someone who loves training guys in my own job I love that message.

You can tell he was 100% genuine when he said his greatest enjoyment is helping people grow. That's who you want leading your club

 

[jerms]

Pretty happy with that.

 

[Ge3ks]

Optimism restored.
