Well if Nicks doesn’t make the finals next year, at least there’s a potentially good replacement option (assuming Longmire isn’t totally burnt out)

Adam Simpson is around too
We can only hope.
No way he coaches again - well certainly for a few years minimum
Burn out after 15-20 years of Snr assistant and then Snr coach and last 4 GF being losses. Last 2 of them humiliating and couldn’t not impact you emotionally

He looked shattered after losing the GF again. Suspect he'll take 6 months off and come back to coaching after that if he feels like he can lose more hair. Coaching landscape could look drastically different come June 2025. Who knows what any of Adelaide, Port, Essendon, St Kilda offer up in the first half of the year. And there's Tassie on the way although I'm still hearing that one's going to Bucks.

Rumour on the main board said an altercation happened with a player which is what escalated the decision - either from the club or from him
Maybe he saw the incident as a warning sign

John Longmire could be available. Get him!

Feels like the right time for Sydney to refresh.
Seemed strange that Cox wasn't in for the WCE job but makes sense now.

I thought as soon as he knocked it back that next year would be Longmire's last, now its 12 months earlier.

Totally agree .....he'd be questioning his own coaching after 4 big defeats ....his messaging may be stale
Yet again, winning a flag in his 2nd year ....it can be argued, he inherited the Paul Roos team
Cox has just been announced as Sydneys new coach

Brad Crouch with a big FU to Ross the Boss
www.sportingnews.com
Crouch was delisted by the Saints in their player cuts during the recent player movement period, but was redrafted with the club's only selection in the AFL Rookie Draft.
However, the Herald Sun reports Crouch is likely to retire in the coming days and has already been appointed as a non-playing assistant coach at Noble Park in 2025.
Saints’ odd Crouch rookie call and the game that could cost $500k
Brad Crouch was St Kilda’s only pick in last week’s rookie draft, yet his AFL career is all but over. So why did the Saints make the move that left fans scratching their heads?

Well, Longmire is retained in a new position ....will he be in charge of gameplan design and execution
It's laughable to suggest

It was strongly rumoured mid-season, a conflict between Ross & Crouch would see Crouch never play another game for the SAINTS
Well, that's what has occurred

Don't think he'd coach Port, he'd have had enough of getting smashed in finals with a midfield that goes missing...
Yep. And must say he has been remarkably restrained re 2016 GF vs Bullies. They were absolutely ROGERED. I wanted Bullies to win after TipRap, but cant remember a more cheating umpiring display clearly costing the more deserving team the flag.
