AFL veteran John Longmire has confirmed he declines any coaching roles with either Essendon or Carlton despite recent rumors. The experienced Sydney Swans coach also declined an offer to lead Tasmania’s AFL team. His decision comes as insiders claim multiple teams weighed options before Longmire publicly announced. Essendon and Carlton were both reviewing candidates before Longmire took himself out of the running publicly.
