John Longmire Influence in AFL circles

[YvonneH]

Just read Caro's Friday article on Alistair Clarkson's influence in the AFL.

I was surprised how much influence John Longmire has had over the years.

No wonder Eddie wants Hawthorn on his side. Alistair is almost more powerful than Eddie himself and goes about it less abrasively.

That's a good article. Maybe Alastair can also suggest that club presidents need similar training and accreditation requirements to those he is proposing for coaches. Really the president shares a lot of similar responsibilities for player welfare etc
