Personally I’d love the club to bring in Jason Akermanis as an assistant. Success follows him. 

Was at a lunch a fortnight ago and with Alastair Lynch and he talked about Akermanis and from what he said I wouldn’t want him anywhere near our club.

I wonder if the Sydney fans are gonna call for Longmire to get sacked. Currently losing 45-0 to Port 😳

Not sacked, maybe calls to geld Horse…Swans might run better that way.😳

That’s my quota of bad jokes, laters.

We love you Goody. Our coach. Our premiership winning coach. To quote one Jack Viney after our grand final win: “I’m so grateful that you came to our footy club”

He is probably the best coach in the league and has been remarkably consistent so i’d say not

I told you JJs single possession after a quarter and a bit would have solved our midfield woes this year!

What makes him the best coach in the league? He’s only won 1 flag in what, 13 years?

Would Sydney be this consistent in terms of finals appearances if they weren’t afforded talent for peanuts via the academies?

just my opinion. 4 GFs in 13 years but agree they have crazy advantage with academies 

He generally fronts up a hard solid team with a good game plan. aside from tonight that is!

Last night the Season was on the line

The first 10 Centre Clearances were won by Footscray 

Where does that put the mindset of the Players and Coaches?

Imagine the melts here if Goody lost 3 GFs! 

He is a brilliant coach, please don’t think I don’t rate him. I really do. But if we judge a coach on flags and flags alone, he isn’t better than Goodwin. And it seems that’s what everyone wants to judge Goodwin on so…

As you said, the ridiculous advantage they’ve gained from the academies tho, means that Longmire has it easier than a lot of other coaches.

I don't think Jaded is saying Longmire isn't a good coach, just that he is made to look better by their ridiculous advantages.

And you gotta say, his GF record is unenviable. 

The season looks like it’s shot.
But even if it’s not, there is no point throwing all of the toys out of the cot after a few bad games. 
It’s damn hard to win these premierships because every other bastard is trying to win as well. 
If EVERYTHING doesn’t go perfectly, you’re [censored]. 
We have not had a perfect year. Far from it. 
Decent teams don’t throw it in after a little hardship - they dig in and improve. Otherwise you will never have sustained success and Scott, Hardwick, Clarkson etc would be lucky if they had 1 flag each.

They had checked out and didn’t show up but it’s alright because they’re all still mates 🙄

Yeah sorry I realise you were probably aiming that post at the Goody bashers 

I dont know if I want a change in head coach. I’ll always love Goody but a change might be needed soon

If you believe rumours, there is a reason why Horse is called Horse. 
 

Carey was called Duck for a reason too

😳😳

Nothing like the idea of a workplace where it's performance at all costs 😂

Hunter taking up a spot in the team alienated JJ, took Gus away from his wing role, lowered our team speed, lowered our overall hardness level. The league was only getting faster and we decided to get a guy who sat way outside and chipped it 30m.
 

And that’s without even the impact he might’ve had on our off field culture.

Tomlinson played a bunch of decent games when we had the best team defence you’ll ever see and dominated field position. In a role that he was never recruited to play because he failed miserably as a winger. It was a panic move after 2019 to try to find a second winger. 5 years when he was dropped from the giants first finals team because he was too slow even then.

The love that JJ gets from some posters on DLand makes me wonder about myself : was I watching a potential Brownlow medallist and not knowing it?

Actually, no I wasn't.

As for Tomlinson: he got a chance and took it. What's wrong with that? Then injury cruelled him. He always tries.

Where’s Sydney? They haven’t showed up either. In fact I think they forgot to board the plane.

Turn the straight sets seasons into GF losses and they're basically the same coach

100% Agree

If Sydney is losing 45-0, what is it going to be for us next week? 🫣

I just love reading posts from people who are in denial and think everything is ok.

Agree they’re hugely off tonight however they are still on top of the ladder with an unbelievable percentage (at the moment).

Good lord. On page six of this thread you’ve posted the same post four times! You’re flattering the length of this thread but that’s unnecessary for there’s no shortage of Goody-bashers with a lot to say.

 

edit (again): seven, SEVEN times on one page! Do us all a favour and get your PC looked at

TBF the site and its post edit / cache function isn’t fabulous on mobile view ports/devices. 
 

I’ve had very old replies cached and pre populate responses to totally different threads 

 

some of the site’s behaviour on Firefox / iOS is weird 

 

so it might be that

Everyone is the best coach when they’re on top of the ladder.
Although he does look like he’s picked up something nasty from Essendon that’s causing him to [censored] the bed atm. We’ll see if he can find something to put a plug in it.

Yes which goes to show how hard this competition is. Not one side this season has shown up and delivered week in week out. They’ve lost 5 of their last 6 games, with their only win coming against North.
