Longmire in 2007?

[Go Hoops]

We apparently want him:

And the Swans want to keep him:

I reckon we are keen on obtaining Longmire in case Thompson fails in the early rounds- and he can be appointed as coach during the 2007 season

If we only get a second round pick for Steve Johnson- the board/management would be mad!

He is worth a 3rd round and decent player.

I would be happy with 3rd round and Tim Notting

Groom him for '08

Hmm! If you can believe Caroline Wilson [yeah, I know she often deals in hearsay] Longmire was 3rd choice for the St Kilda job. Lyon, Bond, Longmire, McKenna was the finishing order so Caro says. Reckon she might be close to the mark as she is close to Walls and he was on the selection committee. Eade also reckons Bond is ready to go as a coach so I'd be looking at him as an assistant and maybe future coach.

I read on one of the other boards that Geelong was chasing Peter German as our new midfield coach.

I wouldn't mind Longmire as Bomber's right hand man, so to speak. If he's as close to being a senior coach as many people believe, he would be a perfect candidate for the job.

I rate Notting - I would have loved to have got him.

Longmire is good, so the cattas will not be able to snare him. But if he wants to coach us in 08, it would be a good way to get his foot in the door.
