Longmire gone

[TW Sherrin]

wonder if he was pushed. 3 GF hidings would have to have consequences.

 

[Tadpole]

Close the gate. The Horse has bolted.

they wouldn't wait til day 1 preseason to push him

at worst they would've announced the succession plan year

 

[Cyber_punk]

Rumour about a coach and player getting into a physical altercation yesterday suddenly has a bit of weight to it.

Very odd timing.

 

[RUNVS]

Horse did what very few outgoing coaches have done. He has left a strong list for his replacement.

 

[CakeEater]

I imagine the replacement will be Dean Cox.

Or Andrew McQualter....

 

[Altum Volantes]

did he show up to preseason training day 1 yesterday?

Yep, rolled in 10kg overweight with a game plan based around the season ending in the prelim final.

Club didn’t go for it.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Tassie job is his

Almost guarantee it now I recon they want a experienced first coach you would think he would be top off the list

Or they told him 2025 was his last season no matter what and he just went “**** it, right now then.”

 

[Lach72]

Interesting timing.

Couple of jobs on offer in 2026 if things don’t go to plan

Longmire has his flaws as he doesn't really use the talent he has to achieve their best, but despite saying that he is actually very good at developing young players, he just often plays them in the wrong position.

 

[RUNVS]

I doubt that happened. I mean we are in premiership contention in 2025, or at least I hope we are.

Nah Chris Fagan.

He’d be their first choice.

Tasmanian, won a flag in the last decade, avuncular, good culture builder etc..

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Thank goodness twice butten but that was the third time in GF day.

Was still good enough to get you to more grand finals than any other coach has . A 64% winning record is good a lot of pressure on cox now

Was there for a decade and a half and it’s time. Never know a new coach may play Sheldrick in the middle lol

 

[HirdsTheWord]

jesus, tough gig being an AFL coach.

makes finals basically every year and multiple grand finals.

Yeah hasn't had a good showing in Grand finals but heck me, at least he gets there........

When coming 2nd isn't good enough than......wow

I couldn’t care less if he gets us there he’s won 1 out of 5, that’s hardly a great record and 2 we were clear favourites and dished up some of the worst football imaginable. Sure blame the player and that’s part of it but the coach keeps picking injured blokes and expects it to work.

In this industry if you are second you are last just with a worse draft pick

I don't think he was fired, he just chose to quit.

Ruthless business mate.

Fagan would be great but what coach would want to leave Brisbane anytime soon they have built a team capable of winning multiple premierships . Would be a hard sell getting him to leave

Apparently they had a succession plan in place with cox

 

[nobbyiscool]

I imagine the replacement will be Dean Cox.

The first journo who asks today about the "Horse/Cox Era" will forever be a god.

 

[PowerLil]

Ken Hinkley outlasts another one.

He'd live through a nuclear holocaust. Cockroach and parasite.

I like how Horse belts Ken in a prelim and walks meanwhile in Ken Land he still thinks he's good lol
