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....

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
