Knocking Longmire is like knocking the all-blacks, you look churlish, he is an all time great as a coach, heโ€™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. ย 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.ย

Woah there @DEE fence.

a good coach yes, but he definitely ainโ€™t no all-time great.

Maybe too strong, but career average of 62% ainโ€™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. Iโ€™m not calling him Smith, Barassi, or Jock, but is a fair body of work. If I was grading him at school Iโ€™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.

RDB - 17410 = all time great.

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?ย 

I donโ€™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...ย ย

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
