    And it's farewell to Horse. What a legend that guy has been. He's off to Essendon to help McVeigh in a club performance style role. Half a head of footy, apparently across game strategy, player development, performance analytics and S&C, and the coaching group. With Essendon notoriously having the worst player development in the league, I suspect that'll be the main initial focus. It's a great get for them.

    He's probably gone for a hundred different reasons, but a small one will be the leadership institute he created at the Swans has been essentially screwed by the Pullman stuff. "Want a course/speech on culture?" Yeah, nah.

    Anyway, I love him to bits. He's been so good for our club, and one of the best people you'll ever meet.

    John Longmire, the Sydney Swans’ longest-serving coach, has today informed the Club that he will take up a new role with the Essendon Football Club as General Manager, AFL Performance.

        Good luck to John. Obviously a man who likes a challenge.

          Perfectly understandable for John to look for a new challenge, I wish him nothing but the best.
          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

            seems to be similar but enhanced role to that at the SS. It looks like a football dept role not an executive role. Does this mean he is dipping himself into a more day to day role inthe actual game of footy .?
