Round 18 marks our last home game for over three weeks and there's plenty happening before we hit the road. From John Longmire's 300th milestone game to Kids Go Free, stay in the know with this week's Red and White News, presented by Channel 7.
John Longmire’s 300-game milestone
John Longmire will celebrate his 300th AFL game as senior coach when the Sydney Swans clash with the Western Bulldogs at the SCG.
He is the Swans’ longest-serving coach and is the 25th person in AFL history to coach 300 games. Longmire is also the 23rd to play and coach a combined 500 games.
At the helm of the red and white he has taken the Swans to finals in 13 seasons.

Injury Update
Two players were added to injury management after last week's clash with Richmond. Jake Lloyd will miss Round 18 as he is managed per the AFL Concussion Guidelines. Angus Sheldrick also suffered an ankle injury and is non-weight bearing.
Chad Warner has been ruled out of Round 18 as he continues rehabilitation from a calf strain.

Last home game for three weeks
Be sure to get your tickets for tomorrow night’s clash. The Sydney Swans won’t return to the SCG until Round 22 when they face the Gold Coast Suns. The red and white will spend three weeks on the road for away games against the Fremantle, Essendon and the GWS Giants.
