Does John Longmire's 'all-in' strategy shift suggest it may be his last two years of AFL coaching?
During the trade period, John Longmire made a number of decisions that suggest the Swans are stepping up their quest for a flag - sooner rather than later.
It is not a huge story – as it cannot be allowed to be huge. It is a systemic problem in the AFL. It is unstoppable – so will be pushed sideways or under the rug or sideways. One very famous player was in the toilets at a pub having a big weekend, as he was off injured a few years ago. Some young kids in awe – approached him and asked “What is the best thing about the AFL?” – his reply “the coke”. Another one, was at the birdcage. A famous player came back from the toilets and was talking to the CEO of the AFL and still had white powder under his nose.. his mates had to gently kick him to wipe it off.. in the middle of the conversation. It permeates every club, it permeates AFL management… the story is going nowhere..
