Whateley · John Longmire | Pain, Perspective and Premierships (04.08.26) · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

I was playing, went into the thirds at 15 years of age in 1986 up at Corowa and then I started playing seniors the next year in 87 and by the second game in the Ovens and Murray League up there, my world changed and things happened very quickly from there. voice-verified

It felt like a real rush and when I look back on it, just how quickly things happened for a 16-year-old kid and things changed really quickly. voice-verified

Well, I met my teammates for the first time at the airport at Tullamarine for the Battle of Britain. voice-verified

So I had to meet, I remember meeting Donald McDonald and he said, sit down next to me, young fella, and I'll look after you for the next couple of weeks. voice-verified

And I played my first game in London in 87 against Carlton and my second game in Vancouver in an indoor stadium. voice-verified

So for a kid who'd been really no further than Aubrey, it was a big change in my life. voice-verified

I remember sitting on the interchange bench and when it all broke out, all the fights, it was 12 reports, I think, during that game. voice-verified

And when all the fights broke out, not long after, John Kennedy Sr. voice-verified

got the message down and said, OK, young fella, get on the ground. voice-verified

And I almost crawled to the boundary line, Jared, to the interchange gate. voice-verified

I was a bit jumpy. voice-verified

And as soon as I crossed over onto the ground, voice-verified

It was on. voice-verified

And I think David Rees-Jones welcomed me in the best possible way. voice-verified

All right. voice-verified

Yeah, it was interesting. voice-verified

I only needed four goals back in 1990. voice-verified

I was 19 years of age, still learning the game, I guess, and the maturity that was required to be able to handle that. voice-verified

And I kicked the first two pretty quickly, I think, out at Waverley. voice-verified

And I thought it would be all done by halftime. voice-verified
