Just another young talent that would have been lost to the AFL world if not for the heroics of the Northern Academies!

Perhaps Coxy gets the gig now?
Ol Horse probably wanted a new extension with Coxy breathing down his neck and the club wasn't willing to do it so he said f*ck ya'll, I'm gone..just too bad he couldn't have done that two months ago when we were looking for a new coach
Would Lol if its a contract extension
I don't know what to think of Longmire. On one hand, he made 5 GF in a 14 season coaching career, on the other, he was absolutely smashed in 3 of them (2 of which they were minor premiers). Is also the coach who lost two premierships to teams outside top 4 (for the first times under the current finals system).

It’s shocking to see how many public schools no longer prioritise sport like AFL in place of music and academics.
Years ago now but I went to quite a ‘prestigious’ public school in Perth and we never had AFL footy. Academics, drama and music were the priorities. Needless to say I didn’t have a great time! Our pathway was junior footy and whoever’s dad was coaching that decided his son and his mates should go to the district development squad - and further to colts. I played with a lot of guys who would rack up 40 touches or a bag of goals a week in 16s, but had no means of being able to develop their game.
The development pathway for boys outside of the private school/PSA program (rich families and regional scholarship kids) is extremely poor.
Juniors is often dominated by young kids on the small ground, and then they go missing once they have to play on a full size oval and essentially have to figure out fitness and developing their game on their own.
Always so much talk about ‘grassroots’ football, but what about feeding the actual young talent coming through with the tools and resources to take their game to the next level. Obviously takes a degree of solid parenting and qualities within the kid themselves, some you just can’t coach and it’s a hard age. There is a huge amount of young talent that gets lost as there are little to no means of development.
Yeah how dare the school prioritise academics over junior sport. Tax payer money wasted.
It's a public school, it's capable for them to do both.
much happier with Mini than Coxy.

Not sure having him still hanging around is a good idea?
