AFL veteran John Longmire has confirmed he declines any coaching roles with the two clubs despite ongoing speculation. 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 explicitly stated. Essendon and Carlton were both exploring replacements before Longmire took himself out of the running publicly.
