Billy Longer

Post: # 1404863Post jaxons »

I think he will be a St.Kilda player very soon.
I also think Darren Jolly also as a delisted free agent.

(mod edit - for obvious reasons)

5 ruckmen on the list doesnt make sense - unless of course we are going to persevere with Stanley up forward or trade him

If Longer came in for one of our end of first round picks (18 or 19) - then what is the chance we are looking to trade Stanley and our 3rd round pick to Port for their pick 14??

In - Longer and Pick 14
Out - Stanley and Pick 19 and Pick 38

So at this stage we will only use one draft selection...

Unusual trading period for us to say the least.

Something really brewing, but if Longer were to happen then Jolly joining doesn't make sense

Not sure how you get 5 ruckman?
Pierce won't play next year and Stanley is not a ruckman.
Leaves Hickey, Longer and Jolly.
By the time Pierce is ready to play Jolly will have retired.

If we grab Billy Longer then we might be putting Jolly on the rookie list and have him as part time ruck coach like Collingwood did with Hudson.

As long as we don't part with pick 3 i'd be very happy with a trade period that nets up Longer, Savage, Bruce and Delaney.

It would have to be Stanley to Port for their first draft selection or similar...either way Longer for a late first round draft selection is pretty good!

Maybe, and if that was the case, we would have 3,14,19,20, and would probably look to keep NDS?

Getting very very interesting (if jaxons mail is as spot on as Mac to hawks)

Yeah I remember him in the TAC & State games he plays very similar to Grundy of Collingwood ... possibly a better mark over head though !

So he's ready to go from round 1?

If he's versatile he might work well in a Hickey partnership.

Longer would be a huge get. Better ruckman than Grundy.

jaxons got the Mac and Savage deal spot on (including dp) the night before it was announced.

Usually doesn't post unless there is real substance.
