Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XV

Longmuir has been there for two of that 5. Harsh to lay the 3 years of missing finals prior to him being there at his feet when evaluating his tenure.

They’ve been stocking good, young pieces as well, phasing or trading out the old and bringing in the new. Cerra going out might pave the way for them to get in one or even two more really good WA kids. I’m pretty bullish on them to be honest.

I reckon you can all but assume they will be picking Erasmus with either their pick or the Carlton pick

 

[Run and carry]

I was a Sturt supporter growing up. Strong memories of Jack sitting in the concrete coaches shelter at Unley Oval in his black overcoat. He seemed old even then. His son Bob was the Norwood coach at the time. Running onto the field after the game, win or lose. Good footy memories.

Yep Double Blues supporter as a kid too. Ever since I stumbled upon a replay of the 1976 grand final I was hooked.

It's not laying the blame.

He's taken over a side that was well into its rebuild.

He doesn't get 3 years grace because he is a new coach or because he's starting form ground zero in terms of the list build.

Beveridge, Sanderson, Simpson, Hinkley, Rutten and Pike were all first time coaches who either made finals immediately of within 2 years with lists that were all over the place.

Throw in Fagan and you have top 4 in the midst of the rebuild and by year 3 of his tenure.

It doesn't take more than 2 preseasons to establish plans in this context. Longmuir is not really getting results.

Teague finally sacked, poor bastard.

 

[eth-dog]

It's Lyon then

 

[rumply]

It's Lyon then

Looks like it.

 

[Kyptastic]

It's Lyon then

What odds he asked them to wait until after his Footy Classified spot so he didn’t have to talk about it

 

[Eleven 38]

The blues still havent moved on from the dark ages, it took a drug scandal to realise we had to change, they had the salary cap scandal, but theyve learnt bugger all since that happened.

Im not a huge fan of Lyon, but he will most likely join Malthouse and Pagan on the tarnished coaches that have coached the blues.

 

[Runk]

Carlton imploding eh?

 

[doug85]

I’m gonna need a lot more ****ing popcorn for this dumpster fire.

 

[rumply]

Carlton imploding eh?

The contrast between our 2 clubs couldn't be greater just at the minute, who saw that coming 12 months ago.

How Carlton ‘spooked’ Clarko and blew the chance to land AFL legend after ‘disgusting’ blunder

Apparently the Bloos are considering a more left field option...

Yep. Although I thought they weren't meant to start until December anyway? :|

How's the timing. Clarko says hell no. Article on Lyon where he admits the optics were bad - he is 'sorry' about that. Supporters are repositioned to accept Lyon, coz you know, he didn't mean to smite Teague. Carlton sacks Teague. Fantastic work, Carlton.

 

[citizen-erased]

anyone else feel Carlton took inspiration from our 2020 offseason as a re-boot strategy.

They should have let Mckay, cripps & McGov leave.

So, incrementally, that's:

18/46.
43/150.
103/270.
123/324.
126/337.
142/414.
164/464.

464 games coaches for just 164 wins this century.

I know there's been at least 4 draws (3 vs Essendon and 1 vs Port Adelaide.)

164 wins.
4 draws.
168 non losses.

464 - 168 = 296.

I think that's right.

 

[ghostdog]

At least one Carlton poster looking towards Caracella. It's a compliment.

 

[tandino]

They could save a lot of time and heartache by sacking the next coach right away.

Crystal Ball: Our predictions for the 2021 AFL season are in

Premiership, Brownlow, recruit of the year. We make the call

www.afl.com.au

Found it interesting that of 8 communications specialists on afl.com.au, only 1 predicted Carlton would make finals. Carlton have essentially sacked their coach for meeting the expectations of most people in the footy industry. The level of delusion in that club is pathological.
