About this episode
John Longmire reflects on his career and discusses key moments including the signing of Lance Franklin and the omission of Callum Mills from the 2024 Grand Final.
Sydney Swans Executive Director of Club Performance, and 2012 Premiership-winning coach, John Longmire joins the More than Footy Podcast to reflect on some of the biggest moments of his illustrious playing and coaching career. In this episode, Longmire touches on a handful of stories detailed in the book - from signing Lance Franklin from Hawthorn in 2014, where all but less than 10 people knew for less than 12 months before the announcement, to the pain of omitting Callum Mills from the 2024 Grand Final. It is an incredible insight into the life and mind on one of the most influential figures in Sydney Swans history, and a must-listen for any fan who loves roller-coaster journeys built on resilience, perseverance and success.
