Longmire’s great old schoolmates

Some people may think the Swans really prefer to play in Sydney but surely people must know it doesn’t matter where the team plays, with the record by the Swans impressive in Geelong and all capital cities.

“Yes, if you want to be a competitive team, you have to win anywhere,” Longmire said.

“We want to have a balanced game – strong with ball, without the ball and in the contest. Pressure on the opposition is important.”

Having beaten Melbourne, Sydney has a week’s ‘rest’ and will play, in Sydney, the winner of this Saturday night’s semi-final between Fremantle and Collingwood at the MCG Saturday night.

Corowa’s favourite son concluded with: “Our toughest games are still to come.”
