Agree BV Freo were impressive yesterday and Longmuir was Collingwood defensive coach for a long while and they were disappointed when he left
We can only imagine if we actually had a coach or coaching group that could instil such a structure/plan into our team -soul destroying to see where we are at and how we keep drifting without the right people and methodologies in place

Longmuir was also nailed on to come to us as Teague's right hand man when he got the job until he got offered the senior gig at Freo.

Sliding doors moment.

I watched a bit of the Collingwood/Freo game this morning. Watch that game and then put it on half speed. Half speed will give you indication of how we defend compared to Freo. They have system, tactics and buy in that we as supporters can only dream of. If we don't get our act together ASAP, they'll take us apart next week.

They also have contemporary strategies that we lack which reflects badly on our coaching group. They're organised around the stoppages, their players aren't all drawn into contests consistently like ours are and they don't allow the opposition basic liberties that we do but 17 other teams deny as a standard measure. Things like allowing Lachie Whitfield to sit off the back of stoppages and have a field day getting the ball fed out the back to him. They're basics that aren't afforded players in suburban footy let alone elite levels.

We have a lot of work to do in a short time.

Thanks, so both also had better records than Clarkson and Hardwick then.

Talking to Aaron Hamill about assistant coach for next year.

Teague received a list that is ready, off memory others didn’t, especially Clarkson.

Brendan Bolton's first 2 seasons with us had a similar record and similar young undeveloped list as Hardwick and Clarkson

13 wins 31 losses
