Strange quote from Freo coach

Sydee
in Melbourne Demons

In an article today Longmuir was quoted as follows referring to the David Mundy retirement

"He is close to the end, and we need to make sure we put all of our own personal issues and indifferences to one side and see if we can help him achieve what he wants to achieve in his last handful of games"

It was quite a strange thing to say I thought and suggests that things perhaps are not what they should be in the Dockers camp

    I wonder if Longmuir meant indifferences or differences?   One for the grammar thread, perhaps?

    I am disinterested in these findings

    Watching one of the footy shows last night the hosts (mighta been Lyon, Riewoldt and Brown) were wondering if Mundy has had his hand forced.
    They thought his numbers were still worthy of another season.

    I see your disinterest and raise it to being uninterested.  But then why did I open this thread?

    Worthy of another year for sure. At 37 unlikely to be that expensive either. Strange decision

    and i'd have thought a shot at the flag should be more than enough of an incentive than invoking the retirement of a favourite son

    Freo are a bit of a “meh” club

    They have no idea how to behave going into September

    Maybe Longmuir is doing a Scott and looking for excuses. Bit early though.

    Was definitely eased out the door if you can believe the crew On the Couch.

    Maybe they need the $s to help fund the splurge on Dogga

    My view may be biased but Freo is setting themselves up to really [censored] the bed in their persuit for Jackson.

    Forcing favourite sons to retire, giving up draft picks, letting good players walk.... This has Tim Kelly written all over it.

    It's got Junior Mac feelings about it. We know too well what happens when you cull too many leaders.

    I think there might be quite a few high quality young Fremantle players wondering why they're bringing in a 20 year old backup ruckman on significantly more money than any of them are on, especially someone like Sean Darcy who's super popular in the Freo squad, would have to be thinking, why am i getting paid much less as the number one ruckman than the bloke who'd come in and back me up?

    Freo’s pursuit of Jackson seems incredibly short-sighted to me. Freo are a young team with huge upside for the next few years. They’ve already shown that they can compete with the best teams and, personally, I see them as one of our biggest rivals over the next few years. Why you would want to jeopardise this - by forcing out players and forcing them onto smaller contracts - just to land one player in the infancy of their career is beyond me. Jackson doesn’t even fulfil a list need for them. Could be a culture killer if guys like Darcy feel like they’ve been taken for granted.

     

    As of right now this is all hypothetical, but geez it makes you glad to have Tim Lamb and Jason Taylor at the head of our list management!

    It's a culture killer, especially when as much as i rate Jacksons talent, you would normally see this sort of thing for a Bontempelli/Oliver level player, Jackson isn't really close to that yet so a lot of it is projecting.

    But none of the players you have mentioned have done anything close to what Jackson did last September. 
    That’s why i want him to stay. I reckon LJ  will go next level in September

    I hated that. They had him on for an interview where David Mundy said it was his choice and all the reasons for it.

    1 minute after the interview Jon Ralph reveals that he was pushed out.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
