Ben Long

The Chazz
in Melbourne Demons

I have not been impressed with him , I have watched him 4-5 times and every time thought he looked below AFL standard.

He might prove me wrong and come good but I am not that excited by the prospect of him joining us.

    I remember him playing pretty well against us in the game we won... apart from that I dont really watch saints games.

    Super quick.  If he can find a bit more composure, would be handy.  More versatile than many think.

    Yes, I remembered he did quite well then. Also in the Saints draw against GWS (?), I think

    A younger inconsistent small forward. 

    21 year old (only just), and has played 10 games.  Harsh criticism, but your views are appreciated.

    I think he’d be a great get. Young and raw but he’s quick and has good skills and workrate and would be a huge upgrade on Garlett!

    Not saying anything negative about Ben Long but that is a v v v big call - Whilst Jeff Garlett has had an underwhelming 2018 season he has an impressive record in the AFL having kicked over 300 goals

    think they all may have played slightly above their demonstrated form that day

    What I've seen of him hasn't impressed me much.  Doesn't really get a whole lot of it, not real tough in the contest.  It would be a bit of a head scratcher for me if we got him.

    Saints just put a tweet out saying he's going nowhere, so it might be a bit of a non-starter this one.

    Bunch of seriouse weirdo's running that twitter account. 

    The one they sent out last week was just plain bizarre.

    Long is a gun. Would be a real handy pickup 

    A gun?

    Struggled in most of his early games but his game against the Giants was fantastic and he did some things against us as well.

    Has a bit of grunt in him as well as the Long/Rioli genes for pressure and tackling. 

    He'd be a very good pick up but clearly the Saints know his quality. Express some interest now and try to get him to remain uncontracted until next years trade period.

    That would assume he was nicknamed Benne

    Meanwhile, the Bombers have Jake Long out of contract. It's all well and good to use the emotional pull of family to poach one Long, how about signing up the other one? Very inconsistent.

    We know Kent’s quality (and so do St Kilda) so a swap would not be to either Club’s detriment if Long is as good as they are trying to portray!

    Have the Saints put a 13yo in charge of their SM? Idiots.

    Everyone has their price.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
