Don't think he would be a very good inclusion to us, much better suited for Geelongs game plan

Re: We took Ben Long one place in front of .....
Parfitt has played 3 games and has already won the rising star.
He wears Bartel's number 3 jumper.
Ben Long is yet to play a game.
Surely this is another blunder by our recruiters.
It must be!

what does part aboriginal have to do with anything? A player is either good or bad, tough or weak, regardless of skin colour.saintspremiers wrote:Long sounds better than Parfit and is also part aboriginal

The deeper you get into the draft, the more of a lottery it becomes
Unless there is an obvious slider
Where did SPP go?

Ofcourse Long is a bust, Parfitt has played 3 matches and won the rising star in a top three undefeated team.BigMart wrote:Why

Long hasn't played a game yet, gone, finito, finished another stuff up by our recruiters!

We took Jade Gresham at pick 18? in 2015. Did we get that one right?
Re: We took Ben Long one place in front of .....
Seemed to go ok in the JLT?
Has looked fine, if he's in third year, and struggling to get 5 touches in a game, has never dominated vfl and never shown much at AFL level
Yeah perhaps a thread
Lonie got threads in Year 2

Re: We took Ben Long one place in front of .....
There's a pattern emerging.
Ryan Burton was the round 2 nominee. He was given Sam Mitchell's number. We took Gresham with the the pick before Burton. Gresham has not been nominated this year for the rising star.
Another mistake.

A bit early to talk about Ben Long.
Parfitt looks like a beast.
I'm predicting both will be good.
Good to see some recruits from the NT making their mark.

Joffa being naughty, but if Long doesn't blow our minds in his first three games, no doubt some supporters will be up in arms!

Just over some 'So-Called Supporters' popping the staff, club and players on this forum, when we are actually going ok, just need a bit of fine-tuning!!!!!

Re: We took Ben Long one place in front of .....
I don't know half the people on here, so wasn't sure if it was serious... it's fairly well known that Long was suspended the first two rounds, and couldn't have played even if he was the greatest player on our list.
Re: We took Ben Long one place in front of .....
should trade hawks pick 1 for him. Rather a known star like parfitt than trusting our recruiting staff.

Ahmed Saad, Terry Milera and Eli Templeton all looked pretty good in their first few games too.
