AFL veteran John Longmire has confirmed he will not take any coaching roles with Essendon or Carlton despite ongoing speculation. The former Sydney Swans coach also rejected an offer to guide Tasmania’s AFL team. His decision comes as insiders claim multiple teams weighed options before Longmire made clear. Essendon and Carlton were both reviewing candidates before Longmire closed the door publicly.
