Knocking Longmire is like knocking the all-blacks, you look churlish, he is an all time great as a coach, he’s been respectful in the game and his personal life has stood out as a model of dignity. By the by, as happy as I was for the Dogs to win it in 2016, they had a 20-8 free kick count and it stands out as the worst GF performance by umpires I have seen. Have never heard Horse sook about it when many others would have. For sure Horse goes in the woulda/coulda/shoulda GF coaching basket like Tommy Hafey, however I look at 14 years of sustained success as the measure of his abilities.  I also would like to know what the hell happened to them last year.

    Yes, imagine if it had been Brad Scott on the receiving end of that performance!

    I work with a rusted on ex South Melbourne supporter who regularly goes to watch them up in Sydney as he is one of our sales reps. He said that there's a big difference in the mindset of both sets of supporters. The Victorian based ex South supporters are very grateful for all Horse has done for the club whilst the Champagne Charlies that go watch them up there just want to win and be entertained all the time.

    Woah there @DEE fence.

    a good coach yes, but he definitely ain’t no all-time great.

    Maybe too strong, but career average of 62% ain’t no muppet, in the top 25 coaches for games at 333, 5th I think for winning percentage out of that bunch, is a high level of consistency, and equal 9th for number of GF reached. I’m not calling him Smith, Barassi, or Jock, but is a fair body of work. If I was grading him at school I’d say A-, is that better?

    They are one of only two teams to win three World Cups (the other being South Africa). Since world rankings were introduced in 2003, the All Blacks have held the #1 spot 80% of the time. They have won 10 of 16 Tri-Nations tournaments; six of seven Rugby Championships; and retained the Bledisloe Cup for 17 years.

    I got a big bag of churlish to hand out for anyone who wants to compare that to 1 premiership in 14 seasons on an easy wicket.

    Note to CHRIS FROM CAMBERWELL...

    This is what winning looks like, Chris! When are you going to realize that Dwayne Russell has you on to serve his own anti MFC bias? 

    I don’t agree with this comment.

    Dwayne Russell is one of the rare commentators that thinks we can bounce back next year. He mentioned this on his show after trade week.

    Fair nuff! My point is that Russell, like most football hosts on radio, is manipulative. He looks for ways to stir up an audience who will continue to engage with the topic. A tried-and-true method grants airtime to listeners whose point of view is known to rile other listeners. Enter CHRIS...

    He is in Swans folklore. Most successful coach ever I presume.

    Most Clubs would die for the last 14 years 62.% winning run 5 Grand Finals 1 Flag A culture of winning and team ethos plus a development program thst is the envy of the AFL.

    Crowds have risen consistently over this period along with membership and 12 Finals in 14 years.

    And are well and truly respected along with The Cats as the most successful teams that have not had to bottom out to keep competitive.

    Much like Collingwood of old since 1958 but always around the mark.

    Melb/Sydney dichotomy in a nutshell. Soul vs Sin....

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
