Toast Keep Horse

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Been a great home and away coach over the years. One of the best.

Allowed us to enjoy making finals nearly every year.

Thread to toast all the good.

Please don’t break the internet with the tributes about to flow for our coach, John ‘Horse’ Longmire.

Wonder when he is no longer the coach if the club will keep him in an off field roll. Talented enough to even be a CEO I reckon. Incredibly well respected. Way back when he applied for the St Kilda job, Pridham told him that they wanted him to stay on and mentioned club management to him as well as coaching.

CEO? So when he’s finally removed you want him to be his replacements boss?

When he’s finally removed kicking and screaming he should step away from the club and give his replacement some fresh air to work

God I love you JHWF. Looks like your enthusiasm and positivity is slowly coming back.

Mine however, is taking slightly longer ......

Horse has shown you can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and try and change the ending.

Horse - the Raymond Poulidor (Pou-Pou) of the AFL Coaches. He inherited a good team in 2012 to work with for his maiden and only GF win.

Bit harsh. He knocked over the Hawks in 2012 and they had Franklin, Hodge, Rioli, Burgoyne, Mitchell, Roughead, Lewis etc. That's as good as it gets.

Voices of dissent are always the loudest.

99% of Horse discourse on here is just people bagging Horse and then people defending him from those bagging him. Very few really go out of their way to sing his praises. I try to when I think he deserves it, but nearly every time the replies are something along the lines of "let's see him do it in a GF" which just kinda feels like

If only you guys had managed to poach him a few years back

I suspect he’d be good for a rebuilding side, he’s just not capable of being a top line finals coach and never will be

Keep Horse.... away from the team
