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.

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

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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
