This sucks more than people realise.
Defensive coach two years and these are the two years our backline has held up no matter the injuries.
No surprise he came to to club start of 2018 and we went from 13th to a GF or whatever it was.
This will really hurt us i reckon
Saves me typing much the same. And like a few others here, I think it's overdue to bid Harvey farewell.
 
Says a lot about the Collingwood footy club the way Buckley and players have supported Longmuir in his ambition to senior coach, but also backing him in the finals campaign.

Classy club!

I'm glad that Fremantle seemingly waited until our season was over also. Wishing him the best and agree with other posters, this is a huge loss for us.

Sad to see him go with a year still to run , but we've done the right thing by him and hopefully karma brings us a top notch ruck/stoppage coach :)
 
This feels like a big loss to me.

Was brought in specifically to improve our defensive structure and has done a brilliant job these past two seasons and often under difficult circumstances due to injured personnel.

Like Caracella at Richmond I guess we'll find out next year one way or another what the true value of a talented assistant coach is when it comes to team performance and what if any implications it has for the reputation of the senior coach.

I hope we set the bar very high in looking for his replacement and don't rush into making a decision based on convenience, personal relationship or price tag.

This good enough mindset is something that we could fall into prior to the Murphy review IMO.

Well Ed hate to go over the Footy Department Salary Cap so don't hold your Breath to much

This is a massive loss. Imo, he’s the reason why we have surged into contention. Defensive structures are amazing.

I’d happily take him back, if his time at the Dockers isn’t fruitful.

I highly doubt it. I think he will prove to be a great coach.
 
Have a look at our defence before Lonmuir's arrival. You forget 6/7 goals we would concede every match from the opposition running into open goals ?
Longmuir has set up our defence nicely,surely the next bloke can continue, our back six are mature, smart enough to also continue with what’s been instilled, give em some credit.

Here's a hypothetical.

It would seem that Longmuir has the pedigree to be a quality senior coach. Nine year apprenticeship across both the WCE and the Pies. Arguably a perfect entree into senior coaching. In a hypothetical world, if our incumbent senior coach and Longmuir were battling for the Pies senior coaching position right now, which way do you think Big Ed would go (that's a no brainer) but more poignantly, as supporters, which way would you want Big Ed to go?

Hypothetical? Ha, ha, ha, sorry not this time. fish aren't biting.
