Other team's players have got off for far worse but because Long has been labelled a "maniac" by the media and due his overt tough player persona its sets him up to be an easy target for the AFL to ram home their agenda


Its no different from Baker

Yes, he has form going back to his VFL days. Reputations are hard to shake.

If he doesn't get off then this whole competition is even more of a farce than what it has become, if that's possible.
It is frustrating enough seeing so many match results now being determined by sub-standard umpiring decisions.

Well let's hope he gets a good fair outcome so we don't have to label the AFL's Appeal process as f****** racist .

Yep if it was Danger, Pendles, Dusty this would not have rated a mention. Tough hit, play on.

JUST IN | Ben Long's appeal of his one-match ban has failed.

He'll miss this week's game against Richmond.

Failed.

Looks like we were waiting for a shitty fox footy graphic.

No Longy this week.

Move on. We have a Semi Final to win.

That’s awful but not unexpected. The inconsistency is the thing that really irks me.
Let’s show the b******s what a united and determined team we are.
Go Saints!!!
