Prediction New Senior Coach

[DuckYeah]

Ditto
Scott Burns or Chris Newman would be my preference
Lenny Hayes or Robert Harvey next

and still on the Sando bandwagon if going experienced

Worst case scenario and at any stage contemplating voss then hopefully sando gets the nod! But would like to see nmfc enlist multiple senior assistants to formulate the perfect coaching regime

If we go down the inexperienced route I can't see how we can go past Shaw. Highly rated assistant (as are the names above), has won games and already has the relationships with the players.

Because Burns and Newman are from attacking game plans that have been involved in premierships! Thats why

Which one?

All I am hearing is that Longmire is number one on our list. Like a few here cannot say I would be too excited. Am I being unreasonable to think he has grossly under achieved with all the advantages he has had at Swannies? I just hope friendships do not cloud the reality of assessing if Horse really is the right bloke for us.

I share your concerns about friendships. Fire in the guts is the non negotiable and I don't sense that with John. Paying truck loads of money won't change that one bit. Malcolm Blight at St Kilda comes readily to mind.

Nick!

I’m just loving everything Shaw is about at present. Early days I know but I feel there’s something about him and if he got a very experienced assistant I think he could potentially be the perfect fit.

So far so good... just a tad defensive IMO! We havent seen his game plan as we are still running Brads regime

Is Horse the priority in order to prevent more father son debacles as his boys come of age? I can’t see any other compelling reason.

Blight didn’t want to coach and got an offer too good to refuse. Longmire has been and is a very good coach who is going to be well paid at Sydney if North can’t get him. I wouldn’t have any concerns about his motivation.

Not that he’s a well-credentialed flag-winning coach who has a track record of developing young players and fielding very competitive teams, and as a bonus has a strong background with our club?

which premiership was Scott Burns involved in?

So was Brendan Bolton.
Not saying Shaw is a lock yet, but if he gets us to the top 8 he will be pretty hard to ignore.

If Shaw makes finals with this team, and it's hard to say how likely that is but if he does, that's a remarkable achievement.

He'd be handed the job in a heartbeat.

No doubting it’s early days.

I’m a little out of my depth in terms of game plans and exact styles etc but from an overall perspective I’m happy with how he’s got the team focused and winning games after the upheaval the players went through etc.

I ‘think’ he may have referenced either in the post match presser or an interview that he’s more defensively minded. He also flagged he’s aware of our attacking capability so perhaps he thinks the balance hasn’t quite been right.

 

[Snake_Baker]

LOL, Sydney, of all clubs, are now getting ****ing precious about the rules!!!!!

Bit of a lack of respect for longmire. He'd be great and has kept swannies competitive every season.

Scored the 4th highest score of all teams last week after putting on the brakes halfway through the last quarter (down a rotation too when MacMillan did his calf) and 3rd highest this week in dewy conditions down a rotation early. If this is defensive than it's a pretty exciting defensive style.

I'm not a fan of Longmire and liking what Shaw's done so far so here's hoping we can keep winning so we can't ignore Rhyce.

Best defence wins premierships so I reckon Rhyce is a sure thing on that score

Wore the number 35 on my jumper from 93 to 99. Love to have Longmire back
