Three guys who had a big influence on us both improving our onfield performance and getting us into a GF are gone. Justin Longmure / Budda Hocking & now Boyd will no longer be at the club
It does not fill me with joy not confidence going fwd
Welcome back: Matthew Boyd (returns in 2024)

Langmuir left for a once in a lifetime senior AFL coach gig. Can’t blame him or Collingwood for that. If Freo didn’t offer, he’d still be with us.
Hocking was cut due to the hub year club staff limits. Other clubs had to cut people who were popular with the players too. Even at Richmond, poor old Balmy wasn’t allowed to go to games.

I am Da Man
There is no issue with people making steps to advance themselves (Justin & Matty) it’s just that quality people either don’t come to us or if they do don’t stay long
Again we are said to be rebuilding the team and I guess the coaching staff too
Is it the fact we are Collingwood or are we perceived to be an unbalanced setup

I'm not arguing--just explaining why i am right

I raised it before this season started and I'll do so again.
Warning bells should be ringing that we've taken another step towards one of the situations that the Murphy review specifically looked to address with it's findings.
Having lost our most highly rated assistant to Fremantle (and potentially best coach period) after 2 seasons and effectively demoting Hocking to the role of VFL coach we went into this season already with one less line coach than seasons 2018/19.
Now Boyd a mere one season into his tenure has been poached by Longmuir and it's kind of telling that it wasn't Harvey or Sanderson he was after.
At best it's surprising that the club wasn't prepared to match the financial offer by Fremantle.
At worst they did and Boyd decided Longmuir has more to offer him as a mentor.
Fall out of finals contention next season and seasons 19, 20 and 21 will start to closely resemble the gradual decline during Buckley's first 3 seasons in the job and that spells trouble.
Like many I thought at least one of Harvey or Sanderson needed to be moved on at seasons end.
With Boyd departing who knows if that will even be a consideration now but at the very least we need pay up and get a quality addition to our coaching panel.
If we don't?
Then I suggest you all duck and cover.

Great post. Like a lot of Collingwood members I’m worried about the future direction of the club.swoop42 wrote:I raised it before this season started and I'll do so again.
