AFL veteran John Longmire has confirmed he refuses any coaching roles with the two clubs despite multiple media reports. The former Sydney Swans coach also turned down an offer to manage Tasmania’s AFL team. His decision comes as reports suggest multiple teams weighed options before Longmire made clear. Essendon and Carlton were both evaluating possibilities before Longmire made his stance clear publicly.
