Ben Longs report
Sums up the umpires perfectly. Nothing more than maybe a free. Umpire immediately reports Long.
No other player or club would that have been reported most clubs it wouldn’t have been a free.
Blatant bias and has cost us many games .

Re: Ben Longs report
It just goes to show that the umpires do have a hit list.

Re: Ben Longs report
Just a joke absolutely disgusting
If I was the club I’d suggest Ben is being targeted…
Watch them back peddle then…
Pathetic report

Re: Ben Longs report
Do umpires have the authority to review and withdraw the report?
If so that would be the only reasonable action.

Re: Ben Longs report
The Report a couple of years ago, when Long was standing still and braced for a collision in the course of the game, has impacted on Ben’s confidence
Today we saw the full effect of the targeting of him by Umpires and the impact it has had on him and his confidence to compete
St Kilda need to have a conversation with the AFL

Re: Ben Longs report

I’ve been pumping this guy up for ages and couldn’t believe how slow many on here were willing to back himBanger9798 wrote: ↑Sun 21 Aug 2022 10:28pm Ridiculous report. Just about BOG today Longy.

I even posted on here ages ago that he’d take mark of the year(too long ago to bother looking for it but it’s there)
Still reckon he’ll do it

Re: Ben Longs report
I had a perfect view of the incident, the umpires would be assuming they saw what didn't happen. It was high, it was late, it was a clenched fist and no contact was made with it. If there had been contact the bloke would still be snoring.
Should have been a 50m penalty, but no. Review and withdraw the charge.

Re: Ben Longs report
They never back peddled from that, so I’m not sure. But, yes, Long doesn’t have a good record.
I was incredibly impressed with his game. His marking was spectacular and showed a side of him that I hadn’t really seen before,

Re: Ben Longs report
Best game I've seen Long play.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Ben Longs report
That's the best game he's ever played. He took something like 15 marks.

Re: Ben Longs report
If it’s not withdrawn and he gets a suspension, the club should challenge it to the max. And use counsel that knows what they’re doing this time!
