A shell-shocked, shattered mess.
No idea what went wrong or what to do about it.
Not sure he will be there much longer.
Chris Scott has made the point that games are won and lost during the pre-season and in the lead up to the game, not in the coach’s box. I don’t think that Longmuir could have done anything to change the game. It was lost in the lead up.
I can understand Longmuir expecting his midfield to dominate with Darcy and Jackson being virtually unopposed. Jackson doing nothing didn’t help but Longmuir was blindsided by our ability to neutralise Freo’s hitouts. I suspect that he was also sucked in by our form slump and their home ground advantage.
The flip side is how well our team was prepared and well every player performed their roles.
