Carry on believing Grand Finals are easy to make lads, it's the SA Footy way.
I’ll take that as your validation and respect for the Bays and those 21 GFs we’ve made….

What we dished up on Saturday was disgusting and totally unacceptable. Simple defensive issues. How do three players miss a single player 20m out from goal??????
Decision making was poor. Pressure was poor.
Bucks put it perfectly on 3AW, we are flat track bullies. When things are good, we are amazing. When it gets hard and they fight back, we are weak.
Do i think the blame solely on Longmire. Nope, it's the players who put in that nonsense. I will blame horse for the selection of McDonald. That was dumb.
I thought Rowbottom was our best. Worked hard all day.
I don't know where we go from here. But, i know as a support base we are fuming. I for one won't be getting my hopes up again til we actually do something. Just making it, doesn't matter anymore. We need to win it!!!!
Brisbane were exceptional

You're no Robinson Crusoe there mate, I'd say Brisbane and Hawthorn would be the only two teams that can not be labelled that way (out of all the teams that have relevance).

To be clear, I'm certainly not of that belief, and nor do I think Longmire isn't a good coach.
I am of the belief that, after 12 years without a flag (and some very poor GF performances in that period), there's a legitimate question over whether it's the right time for a new senior coach, and the relevant decision-makers would surely be considering this deeply.
If he does coach next year (final year of contract) I'd suggest he'd need a flag to stay on beyond 2025.

You've been Hinkleyed my friend! I don't recall you being all that effusive in praise of Glenelg and Geelong in the old days. Those teams won plenty of big matches but not so good in Grand Finals. You can't expect universal praise for not being a basketcase. You're good if you make a Grand Final, but great teams win them. I think that is what most are saying here. Wubbsy seems to be standing by Horse though so it's those guys that Longmire needs to keep onside I guess.

Everyone exists to win premierships. He's a good coach that is true but he's the common denominator over the journey. It's mad to say you can't even question the bloke. It might even be that coach with that group. Look at Blight...couldn't quite get it done at Geelong but struck paydirt at Adelaide.

A tough post and I know those feels. 1995 was hell. Four grand finals and we worse each time we came back. 3 point loss at Princess Park in the season and lucky to only lose by 61 in the Grand Final and Carlton were exceptional. I think your boys are in much better shape than we were in 1996 but Brisbane will welcome back Coleman, McInerney, Marshall and another Ashcroft to this year's team. Frightening. They have had a taste as well.

Whose to say he's then the reason they keep getting back there instead of he's the reason they keep losing?
