Prediction New Senior Coach

[arden station]

This will be news that North fans pretend not to care about but really are distraught inside.

Blow it out your tuba Harold.

 

[Kimbo]

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.

I reckon whoever did the Urquhart >>> Pendlebury thread could start one on this topic.

Shaw >>> Clarkson, or even Shaw === Clarkson.

Can't take a trick. Poor old #Norf.

We're so bad that he left us and went to Carlton, when they were dog s**t dreadful on the bottom!

 

[BoomerRoo]

What? Horse staying at Sydney? Surprise surprise!!!

 

[Firestarter]

Well done South Melbourne.

Lol

 

[Billy Not Really]

Meh, don't care.

Longmire was the bottom of the preferred list.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Swans confirm it

 

[scottywiper]

I have no doubt we expected this.

 

[Black2Blue]

Because that's typical media line - North has missed out on something again.
I can picture as winning a GF against say Geelong, and the headline in the media being brave Cats finish up with runners up medals after a tough struggle with North.

Or North miss out on opportunity for early draft pick by winning grand final.

Great news... Longmire/Pickering were just using us as leverage. Now Shaw can have the clear space until the end of the year, and we assess his performance then.

Though if he beats * tomorrow, I'll be tempted to sign him up straight away.

You can add DeGoey to that list too Hoj, All financially better off by using us as leverage to stay put

Longmire is a very good coach so yes a lot of our supporters will be disappointed with the news, I am personally not.

I said the club was very confident. They were. He was number one target. I have never been thrilled at the prospect so glad we missed out.

That's rubbish, the club has never made an offer, they sounded out his interest which Pickers used as the "offer" from us. I'm pretty sure the reason we haven't jumped on Shaw yet is that there is no rush as he is contracted but of course some jump to the conclusion we are waiting on Horse. I tell you now if the offer was true, he wouldn't have re-signed with the Swans so quick. Buckley and Archer are the new North mafia soon to be joined by Rawlings.

You better not misrepresent them or you'll get Horse's head in your bed. You know what I mean.

I really like the idea of Roos coming as Rhyce's Mentor/ Executive and managing some of his obligations so he can concentrate on what he does best, coach.

A Shaw/Rawlings/Roos Football Department in charge looks appealing.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

"If Scott doesn’t secure a senior job for next year, he would have to be paid out for 2020."

Say what?

Contracted for next year. If he gets a gig elsewhere, no need to pay him out.

If he doesn't we'll have to negotiate a settlement, which will have to be included in our Football Dept cap for next year.

 

[Bigeasy]

I will say this, if we make finals then his appointment should be made official over the pre final bye. I don't care if Vince Lombardi is available

 

[Bigeasy]

Can we counter with negligence?

 

[deano28]

Great! Welceom aboard Shaw and........ possibly Roos

Very big chance this happens

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Along with a senior director of coaching like Roos, I wouldn't mind having Patch come in as an assistant.
I hear he is doing great things with Coburg. He could even head up our VFL side.

 

[The chorus]

When Scott left Longmire sounded like a good option for me as he is obviously a good coach. However the last month has convinced me that we should give the job to Shaw if the team continues to perform well in coming weeks. I hope we show full confidence in Shaw and don't undermine his authority by bringing in Roos in some back up role

 

[domiroo]

Longmire signs on with Sydney you ripper. We don’t need you flog second time you’ve rejected North will come back to bite all your arses ..

Damian Barrett Says Rhyce Shaw Is The Clear Favourite For The North Coaching Job

Damo also said that Shaw's potential contract offer will be around half as much money as what they offered Longmire.

 

[scottywiper]

That's rubbish, the club has never made an offer, they sounded out his interest which Pickers used as the "offer" from us.

I believe there was a lucrative offer.
