Longmire?s life membership - SYDNEYSWANS.com.auSydney Swans coach John Longmire will join the AFL?s ?300-Club? this week, when he coaches his side against Collingwood at the MCG on Friday night.
The 300-game milestone, which will see Longmire qualify for AFL life membership, has been achieved over a career spanning more than two decades.
Longmire made his playing debut for North Melbourne in 1988 and played 200 premiership matches (including finals) and 25 pre-season matches with the Kangaroos and five state matches for New South Wales and Victoria. He has since coached the Swans in 57 matches and 12 pre-season matches.
A long-time friend of Longmire, Swans assistant coach John Blakey - who played 359 games in his own AFL playing career for North Melbourne and Fitzroy - said it is a terrific achievement for his former Kangaroos team mate to reach AFL life membership.
