yep, I reckon if Horse wants to continue into 2024, the club will say yes.. But I reckon he'll go farming - hes made good coin, his kids have finished school, the next in line is champing at the bit (Cox?), and Horse has been in footy for a looooooong time. Dont reckon he'll coach somewhere else

Reckon we will see changes if Harley happens to get the CEO job - and wouldn't that be the absolute best possible thing for the league as a whole.
I think it was you Unc that said if it happened, you could envisage everyone moving a notch up the tree and I really see that as happening.
We are not a club that makes wholesale changes when there is a departure, we seem to have succession plans in place right down the line from corporate to football even to the membership team.
Reckon your close with one exception. I think towards the end of 2023 the next coach will be announced and Horse will be given 2024 to help him settle in. He'll do it, and very well too. None of the rubbish that's gone on at other clubs.
Charlie G is a steady hand and will help not hinder. Who knows if Harley will be here or not (my bet he is).
Smooth as a baby's bum.
The only question is who.
Could happen at the end of this year, but I'll be surprised.
They'd be mad not to and he'd be mad to take it.
Their organisation is a bin fire.
The rescue of both Melbourne and Fremantle required a rebuild from the very top down. Good people (not necessarily nice people) into Chairman, CEO and Head of Football as well as Head Coach.
That's what NM needs. Maybe as part of a move to Tassie?
For Horse's sake I hope he steers well clear. Clarko MIGHT but I doubt it. GWS more his go I think. He'd be good I reckon.
Yes you would assume they would. If they are going to enquire about Simpson at the Eagles why not Longmire. Problem is North’s on field issues are mirrored off field.

Why sack Noble now then? Why not wait 12 months and get him then?

Surely Simpson is closer to heading out than Horse is though? Swans are on the way up but Eagles haven't even started their rebuild
Agree, I doubt either move back to their old club.

It'd have to be an untried coach like McCrae at Collingwood. A lot of pressure to fix North but if you're untried you'll get more leniency than others
Only problem is they have had two of those in a row. Hence, more experienced coaches are being linked.
I wonder if they have sounded out Paul Roos yet? Apart from doing it before and putting Melbourne on the track to a premiership, his name is perfect for it.

As his doing consulting work at the club I imagine they have.
I didn't realise that, but also I imagine that John Blakey is telling everyone there just how good Horse is.

Longmire moves does his kid leave the academy?

He does the consulting remotely apparently
Footy clubs need change at the coaching level.
John Longmire has done extraordinarily well. But now, he needs either to be Football Manager, or to retire to the farm, his choice. He's earned that choice. He's rebuilt our list, and well, he is a long time loyal servant of our club.
'Fire and brimstone', it's an old fashioned expression. We have a great crop of youngsters, it's time for a young tearaway of a coach, backed by the steadying hand of John Longmire in an executive role, to back up a young coach.
With respect to the outside man, no I'm not looking at you Alastair Cl.
The Suns got our man.

Kicking and Screaming. Don't let this be your legacy John Longmire.
Next Football Manager, and welcome.
Tough contract decisions are coming in November- December 2022. John, do you really want to be the one to make them?
Q: is it in the best interests of the cllub to re - sign:
Don Pyke will go to the Giants, and why wouldn't he? The next long term coach should be the one to make the list contract decisions! Not the Old Guard on the way out! ..with respect
