John Longmire Twitter takeover

Swans coach opens up on Rohan, Laidler, Tippett, and of course, Buddy



Swans coach John Longmire's in the hot seat and about to get underway. Get your questions in with #askthecoach pic.twitter.com/rQ1KttHnop

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@ONBeebe we've given him every opportunity the last few weeks, and he has been improving. With Alex Johnson still out he may be a chance

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@FantasyFreako it'll change based on who's available for us and depending on what the opposition does. We'll use a number of options in '14

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@antfrax as he can provide real speed, I imagine he'll still be used at times in that role, but he's certainly had a good pre-season

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@ARobertson36 in his 4 years at the club he's been top-3 in our B&F, his consistency is incredible. He does look fit at the moment

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@AnActofCod he started running again yesterday and felt good. We won't know until we get closer #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@madcolson McVeigh's a big chance to be playing that role again! However, hopefully Rhyce Shaw can give us some drive as well #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@MarkBruty both are young players with excellent speed. Harry can play forward, but is also playing mid. Hopefully Brandon will be similar.

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@_RobbieS_ we see Gary as an important player in a number of roles this year. He was good last night and will get better #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@Kennlett we'll have an update on Luke on our club website a little bit later in the morning #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@Convo_23 as a proven goalkicker, we''ll expect him to play predominantly as a forward #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@patkennedy17 we expect Sam to play mostly forward, however at times he will also be used in defence #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@_RobbieS_ hopefully Rohan, Reid and Jetta who all didn't play much last year, along with Parker and Mitchell can push towards that status

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@MitchellTurner8 he didn't play last night due to a sore calf. As he plays a really contested style, we have to be mindful of his workload

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@stoopid_llamas I go back home every Christmas and the kids love running around on the farm #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

.@herbie0809 learn of others, but be yourself #askthecoach

— AFL (@AFL) February 27, 2014

Thanks for all the questions, sorry I couldn't get to them all. Make sure you give @sydneyswans a follow and #goswans in 2014. JL
