Longmire gone

[Aristotle Pickett]

What's this all about?



Just selection related, or something else?

Please don't quote that twit Tom Morris.

Wow. You don't mind flogging a dead horse do you?

Hey I haven’t put the white tent over him yet lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Would do wonders for the culture we are trying to build if we bring him in with a coaching role in some capacity would love him in the development scene

Get rid of Brad and replace him after this year

Longmire isn't dead, he just stepped down.

If Clarko has a bad year and North wins less than 6 games Id say this would be Horses next gig.

 

[Dez!]

I couldn’t care less if he gets us there he’s won 1 out of 5, that’s hardly a great record and 2 we were clear favourites and dished up some of the worst football imaginable. Sure blame the player and that’s part of it but the coach keeps picking injured blokes and expects it to work.

In this industry if you are second you are last just with a worse draft pick

Putting all the blame on Longmire is ridiculous, the players shat the bed.

You don't get belted because of the coach, you get belted because the players folded under pressure.

I get where your coming from but its one of the many reasons this club has stagnated for so long.

We kept pointing fingers at coaches and not the actual issues due to those individuals protecting themselves

His staying at Sydney anyway which is great for the Swans!

 

[Obeanie1]

jesus, tough gig being an AFL coach.

makes finals basically every year and multiple grand finals.

Yeah hasn't had a good showing in Grand finals but heck me, at least he gets there........

When coming 2nd isn't good enough than......wow

You make it sound like he was sacked. He wasn't.

He resigned with a year to go.

It is a tough gig as an AFL coach even when you are coaching a successful side to grandfinals.

Suggest he simply decided he didn't have the energy or passion to go another year and for the teams benefit has handed the reins to Cox.

 

[Big Blood]

Fair enough, it's been 15 seasons. Always admire those who know when to walk away.

 

[Osho]

For the stat tragics, would this be the first time in history that a coach that has won the minor premiership quits the same year?

Jezza 1979 comes close, except, one better, he won the flag that year as player - coach.

Yeah different role think he'll be headhunted by Tassie

The coach picked injured blokes in every GF, you just don't. Plus not picking Adams at least was the highlight of brainless. Sure players weren't great, neither was the coach in the last two GF's.

Spot on.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

He played an injured Heeney on the ball and he refused to pick the Captain in the GF side even though he was fit.

 

[Osho]

Longmire has his flaws as he doesn't really use the talent he has to achieve their best, but despite saying that he is actually very good at developing young players, he just often plays them in the wrong position.

Also I think he will develop a culture and discipline, and he is a solid person.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

McDonald being 1/4 fit was worse. Heeney I was fine taking the calculated punt, but Adams should have played to cover for it.

 

[Cam Payne]

Who left the gate open?

 

[Elixuh]

Sydney board didn’t even get past the first iteration of the sack horse thread. Port up to volume 13. Rookies.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Ken Hinkley outlasts another one.

Longmire is the coach people think of when they defend Hinkley.

 

[Osho]

Hinkley in a couple more centuries.

 

[RUNVS]

Mills was iffy, and Longmire got burned badly by Sam Reid in 2022.

Mills was your captain and he told Horse that he was 100% right to play.

One could say McDonald was worse though, should have played Adams though

Yeah like he did the other GF...he wasn't. Trusting players before GF's...as if they are going to say "hey coach i'm not fit".
