Sydney continuously stays competitive. It’s that whole Geelong, Hawthorn thing. They dip in and out but quickly rebuild to have another crack. They’ve got a lot of talent.
Hawthorn are not a great example. They haven’t won a final since 2015 and haven’t made finals in 5 years.
Beveridge has had one losing season in 9 seasons and has made finals 6 times, if we’re making the comparison.
So that doesn’t really explain why Longmire doesn’t face scrutiny. If they’re so talented surely they’d back up their GF appearance.

Let’s have this conversation if/when they beat Carlton. I’d argue for a side that got buried last year in the GF they’ve backed up very well. Hawthorn typically wins a flag every decade. They’re a great example and are on the way to being seriously good by about 2026-2028.

well they at least made finals in 2023
No passion or fire or emotion at full time. Didn't get out onto the ground to give his opponent a send-off. Quite simply does he care enough to get Sydney over the line? When is he going to start behaving like the proven elite and irreplaceable coaches in the competition?
Let it go.

Five grand finals in 14 seasons is some achievement.
The fact that he has lost 3 of the 4 the Swans have made to date under his stewardship is the downside.

Sydney have had 3 coaches in the last 28 years. 2 in the last 22. I think that is a big part of their success. Pick the right man and then stick with him.
Longmire could go 20 or 30 years if he wins this year. That kind of institutional consistency is priceless

A*mazing
Supporters of successful clubs never appreciate all the wins along the way. The great H&A wins, rocking up knowing your team is going to win against a bottom club, the myriad great finals wins, the absolute joy of winning the prelim.
Supporters are way too selfish. Especially supporters who think a coach should be sacked because they've lost a couple of grand finals. The grass isn't always greener.

Umpire loss. I don't wish that upon my worst enemy.
