Longmire said he didn't even play that role...
Oh, he mustnt have known where to go so he just stood on his own in our 50 all night?
Get *smile* longmire.
Time to *smile* off to AFL house for a half million dollar job
I keep well away from PRE during our games. Does my head in.
It's hard enough watching the game without the on-line rollercoaster!
In fairness to Longmire, his tactic nearly pinched the game. He should of owned it instead of deflecting.
Take out the ridiculous Jack free and Parker's high fend-off that went through for a goal and we may have lost.
We must find a way to score through those sort of tactics.

At the ground, it wasn't hard to tell that he is talking *smile*. I reckon they planted at least 15 in the defensive 3rd of the ground. We often had +3 behind the ball, not because that was our defensive mindset but because we kept 3 blokes back from following their additional players. Hence why the Sydney heatmap shows red hot in the defensive 50
I agree with the first and last para.
But you cant do the joel bowden step anymore and you cant heel palm blokes in the mouth either
But yeah jack and lynch on midgets. Dusty 1:1 deep for a good half hour and we score 4 goals?
We were never ever going to lose though. Paul roos could have been central ump and we wouldnt have lost.

We were never losing that game. Never.
You forget to mention the 3 easy goals missed by Lynch, Soldo and Castgna.
Yeah I know mate I was just having a crack at Longmire and his tactics which were the cause of the horrendous spectacle yesterday.
But we sure do need to work out how to counter this tactic. Don’t reckon we will play too many worse teams than Sydney for the rest of the year.
Dusty gave a couple away hed normally have poked through like he was at training
Not to forget the sitter missed by Jack on the run from 40m.
Jack Graham, that is.
I just watched the first half of Johnny Longmire's presser. Wow.
It reminded me of every dodgy Australian TV drama, circa 1980, at the moment where the crook is being grilled by the cops.
He gives answers to questions that aren't even asked. He talks too fast. His face is wracked with guilt. He's defensive.
Johnny knew he'd been caught redhanded committing crimes against the game.
Yet he ran with one implausible excuse after another.
It was a performance that would have won him a Logie back in the day.

He should've ran at least to the goal square.
Why did he take the shot sooo early?
I almost smashed the TV.
I almost smashed mine when Aarts passed it 20m sideways to castagna for a set shot from the same distance on a worse angle
Yeah, with a straight face. Chalk and cheese between he and Dimma in the press conferences. Dimma laughing at it all and Longmire all defensive and making no sense.Longmire said he didn't even play that role...
That's the power of castagnfield.
Its like sharing the forward 50 with Wayne Carey.
He calls, you give it.
Lynch and Riewodlt must have a bet going who can miss the easiest set shot.
Lynch is just leading with his efforts against Hawthorn.
And Jack with his pussy cat effort against Collingwood.
Agree. Our finishing in general is killing us. While teams are playing this way against us, we simply have to make more of our chances. That 4.10 really should have been 8.6 and suddenly the result is more representative of the gulf between the sides.
True. It actually reminded me of this memory: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/wallace-masterminds-richmond-afl-victory-20060521-gdnl3w.html
Plough took the credit back then
It depends what you mean by coaching, and what you feel is close. The margin was close. The result was not in doubt. As for coaching, what did his young charges learn from that game? I'd argue a better coach would be looking to educate his team given they have no hope of making or winning finals.
See, I don't think it was anything like that. In that game, Adelaide was the team sitting back with numbers behind the ball, and we just refused to kick it to them.
There was a bit of that in it, hence I suggested at half time we kick to each other. But that was a true David v Goliath situation - coming off a 20-goal belting at the same venue the previous week against the top-of-the-ladder flag favourites. Listening to the radio while driving to the game, I felt like turning around and staying home, such was the enormity of the task being described by the commentators. And in that case, it was the superior team which set up camp in defence. Richmond went to 4-4 with the win and it had a purpose.
Not sure what goal Longmire was working towards. Are Sydney crowds so fragile and fickle that they would prefer to lose that way instead of lose with their developing stars allowed to do their thing?
