I was clearly joking. In any case, if we ever had to replace Longmire for any reason (and I hope we don't for a long while yet) I'd be throwing the house at Stewart Dew.

Today's a draft of your epitaph
I thought Horse had a presser this morning?
And there’s a bit of love for Horse at the moment. Title of the thread is hardly appropriate
I'm a bit mystified by the plaudits for Scott.
North have made the top eight 4 times in his nine full seasons. Never higher than 6 and crashed out of finals every time.
His winning % is around 50 for home/away, finals and overall. For home and away games that places him 14th of current coaches, I think.
I know players and staff speak highly of him and he's not had much to work with in terms of players, but the numbers don't scream "great coach" to me.
The other point, which seems to of been overlooked, is that Horse has teenage children who are going through secondary school, here in Sydney I'm pretty sure.
I doubt uprooting them, at this stage of their schooling, would be an outcome he and his wife would see as a good one.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
Agree on the title of the thread; pleased it's been changed.
This is what the Swans account tweeted from his presser. In isolation it's not categorical, but it'll be worth listening to the whole thing.
Sydney Swans on Twitter: "Longmire: I haven’t been offered any job, I have a job at Sydney and am contracted here."
He’s stated 3 facts. Nothing to gain from that (which is ok)
It’s better than “I’m leaving”
Not as good as “I’m categorically staying until I’m fired”
Reality is, he might not have been offered a job, but could have been given an expression of interest that he is or isn’t considering (his statement doesn’t preclude that). But a bigger reality is he has a draft to prepare for, a season to complete and it will all come out in the wash eventually.
Very interesting phrasing from Horse when asked directly about the Kanga's role, he didn't say no, he simply said "I'm contracted"
Doesn't sound like its a fait accompli that he'll be our coach next year
