Opinion JL and Bell... how long til they pack their bags?

[nurries]

The club's needs to demonstrate that there were mistakes made in the last 12 months and anyone coming to the club that thinks they can trade for success will face consequences if they fail.
Sack a administrator, not Longmuir. Send a message.

Agreed…get rid of Logue= mistake, get rid of Acres= mistake. Not give Mundy another year = mistake. 2 firsts rounders and a second for a speculative player = mistake. Meek for JOM = mistake

If I ****ed up this much in my job, I would be on the dole

Gotta both be gone by year's end. You can't agree to trade our first and second round picks and then not back that up with finals.

Changes have to be made come end of the season.

100%, someone has to go because that is a terrible decision.

I think both Justin Longmuir and Peter Francis Bell will be around for a while.

I have always predicted Justin Longmuir will be our coach for 5-8 years. I don't know if he gets us a flag.

I do hope Justin Longmuir gets us to finals in 2023. Just to say he got us back to back finals. Yes I am desperate for that, even if it's 8th spot in 2023.

I look at Port Adelaide.... Port president David Koch and coach Ken Hinkley have been together since Hinkley had his 1st year at port in 2013. It's 2023 now.

Meanwhile Steve Rosich and Ross Lyon were together at Freo from 2012-19.

Once Ross Lyon got sacked, Rosich left as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Francis Bell and Justin Longmuir stay until 2029. That's 10 years of them starting from 2020.

What’s Justin’s middle name?? Wtf is with this Francis bull?

I put that poster on ignore ages ago and it’s one of the best things I’ve done in here.

To be fair, I think I recall the AFL changed its official records to record him as Peter F Bell presumably because there must have been another Peter Bell back in the VFL in the 1920s or something.

(Agree it’s unnecessary though - we all know who tf he is)

Tinker Bell.

Tinker Bell.

Crazy Belly.

 

[freo1997]

Bell thinks he can play the man behind the curtain. The Wizard of oz if you will.

We can see you Belly and what your arrogance has done.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I am not sure about JL, but Bell needs to go. Disgraceful decisions

 

[Outshined]

Bell can learn from his mistakes.
JL doesn't have the confidence to lead a camel train..

Bell has a track record of poor list management decisions far longer than Longmuir's coaching tenure.

I don't have much faith in JL but I'll be just about done if the club sack him and Bell is still our head of football come October.

We're fortunate that the list is in a decent state (thanks largely to great drafting) and a football department cleanout won't necessitate a rebuild. If anything it'll help ensure we make the most of a good squad.

 

[poshman]

Bell has a lot of control at the club. Alcock ensured that.

When things are good he gets a heap of credit. When things are bad he should be in the hot seat. I am on record here as saying the footy dept - including bell lacks experience.

At the very least we need an experienced senior assistant. My preference would be for Bell to go and JL have the senior assistant (Mark Willians type or Pyke) come in.

 

[88mph]

One thing for certain, we can't waste this list wondering if the gameplan will magically fall into place. There's enough evidence now to prove it doesn't work - it's done, throw it in the bin.

If significant gameplan changes are not made, then Jlo absolutely needs to go.

Any coach, manager, person who keeps following a dud process to the detriment of the team goal, in the face of overwhelming evidence against, needs to be removed from their role.

It's pretty simple.

WE draft a discard from North and he gets a game ahead of Erasmuss and o’driscoll ??
WTF ?
and he turns it over repeatedly in his first game and we give him another ??

Imagine if we had Logue instead of a north Melbourne reject.

Stop talking down Wagner, I need him to stay in.
