Strange quote from Freo coach

Sydee

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

    The Freo coach missed a good opportunity to keep his mouth shut there I think.

    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!

    His 4 Out of bounds on the full was good

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
