I wouldn't be surprised if we are interested again this year in Ben Long. We asked the question after 2018.

Looks to be on the outer now: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/stay-up-to-date-with-the-latest-trade-free-agency-and-offseason-news-at-your-club/news-story/e8cffa2ab482a05ce62808ed04cc49de

He has the versatility to play at both ends, but with Lockhart and Nev gone, we have limited options for small quick defenders, and I think he would be a good option there, and wouldn't cost too much.

Don't mind Long. But offers nothing that we don't already have.


Chooses when he wants to put in.

That [censored] doesn’t fly with Goody. He demands 100% effort, Ben skates by on 10%.

I think we're not too bad on cover for the small backs right now.  Deakyn Smith has looked pretty good at Casey, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he got a look in at some point.  Hunt is still around and Bowey is only going to get better. 

Pass for me. Hunt and Deakyn Smith are still on the list, we might have Moniz-Wakefield coming onto the list who might go to half back and let's also not forget Kade Chandler spent a lot of time in defense in the scratch matches in Queensland last year with good feed back from the coaches. Long doesn't interest me.

Low footy iq

Also wouldn’t be surprised if JJ has a stint at half back next year.


He's a sniping [censored] just like his uncle. Plus he's an ordinary footballer in general. 

You want players to improve your team not make it worse.

Fully agree - undisciplined, gives away stupid frees trying to show how tough he is.

definitely suited to the backline rather than the small forward role essendon r eyeing him off for 

I think we have gone past recruiting spuds like the Neeld era where we gave away players like Martin and Moloney replacing them with very ordinary players.

I remember our trade in 1980's we gave away Wells for 3 spuds.


We have plenty of half backs and smalls at this point

Pass

Very undisciplined, and average player.

Yes. Fancy JJ at half back.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
