Longmire has a lot of great qualities but his really crappy Grand Final record hurts him in lists like this.

1-3 is not a good record.

Still in saying that most coaches have not made 4 Grand Finals in 12 years.

Exactly. A lot of coaches don't even make a grand final, let alone consistently. That alone puts him up there. The bad record doesn't help of course, but it is still something.

Chris Scott has Kardinia Park free wins and a poor finals record, Fagan and Clarkson bully Indigenous players and are criminal.
Since he's been coaching care to guess which team has the highest win % of games not played at Kardinia Park?

Two premierships in 12 years is also not a poor finals record. You could claim it to be ordinary or average (which is also debatable) but not poor. What else have you got that isn't false embarrassing bull sh!t? Give some credit where due please ignorant flog.

It's very hard to rank in a discrete order given the different variables all of them are working with, but at the moment I'd roughly group them:

Tier 1: Clarkson*, Hardwick, Longmire, C. Scott

Tier 2: Beveridge, Fagan*, Hinkley, Goodwin, Longmuir, McRae, Simpson

Tier 3: Dew, Mitchell, Nicks, B. Scott, Voss

4 grand finals in 12 years makes you an outstanding coach irrespective of the record in those games, IMO.

If this is career wise until 2022 then:

1. Hardwick
2. Scott
3. Longmire
4. Beverage
5. Simpson
6. Fagan

Blanket over the rest.

Apologies to Dees supporters totally forgot about Goodwin. He slots in at 6th under Simpson atm but imo will finish 3rd with a few more good seasons with this Dees team.
