Why do I feel like the media interpret it as a loss to us?
Because it's a sexier take and drives clicks.

Why do I feel like the media interpret it as a loss to us?
Because they do. Don't forget, a majority of EVERY one of those media clowns barracks for another club. We aren't supposed to be relevant. We certainly aren't supposed to tear off magpies or tigers player's arms and belt them with the soggy end.Why do I feel like the media interpret it as a loss to us?
I reckon Shaw doing well would have played a part in Longmire's decision as well. Not saying he would have seriously considered our offer or not, but it's a much safer call to accept Sydney's extension, when you know you're potentially going to get a huge supporter backlash if you go with North. Any romance of going back to his old club would have been offset by not being welcomed back. Easy decision for him to remain in Sydney, and makes our situation simpler as well - given how early we seem to have identified Longmire as a main target, would have been hard to pull out now that we may already have a coach on our hands.
Just need to find a suitable senior figure to join as a mentor/director of coaching/senior assistant.
Roos, Richardson, any other names?
Ten Knock-on Effects: When Roos catch cold, Saints sneeze, North pays big
The impact of North Melbourne and Brad Scott 'uncoupling' has been profound, writes Damian Barrettwww.afl.com.au
Interesting take from Damian.
Complete and utter bulls**t for the most part, but interesting nonetheless.

Good news!
Good. Potentially dodged a bullet right there...
Not sure why it would be considered dodging a bullet missing out on horse & I doubt there would be huge backlash & we would not welcome a favourite son who also happens to be a Premiership coach & who’s team plays finals every year despite a list that not that great.I reckon Shaw doing well would have played a part in Longmire's decision as well.

I know everyone wants Shaw now because of our form & style of play since he took over - so do I to be honest.
But us getting horse is hardly Carlton or St.Klida getting Scott.
Shaw/Longmire is win/win IMO
What a surprise! Most will know that Horse has stated that he was retiring to the farm after the Sydney gig. Unfortunately the media (Barrett) will state that North still can’t land a big fish. With that I reck on Buckley asked Horse is he was interested, privately he said no to drive up his price at Sydney.Going nowhere: Horse rejects North's big bucks to saddle up with Swans - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-07-12...ects-norths-big-bucks-to-saddle-up-with-swans

One of them must be hooker.Ok Rhyce, the final stage of your interview process is to ensure at least 3 * players leave the field on stretchers.
Complete your task and your family will never have to worry about the future again.
Meh, only mouth breathers will go on with landing no big fish.What a surprise! Most will know that Horse has stated that he was retiring to the farm after the Sydney gig.

A very distinct possibility. And yeah look I wouldn't be too torn up if he ever did come home, but it was never likely despite the noise.I reckon Buckley asked Horse is he was interested, privately he said no to drive up his price at Sydney.
We dodged the bullet because we were going to pay well over a million dollars for a coach who is just a good coach, not a coaching great, while we may have just accidentally stumbled onto the next Clarkson in our own backyard.Not sure why it would be considered dodging a bullet missing out on horse & I doubt there would be huge backlash & we would not welcome a favourite son who also happens to be a Premiership coach & who’s team plays finals every year despite a list that not that great.
