Delisted #13: Anthony Long - Delisted without having played senior football

[BrunoV]

Re: 13. Anthony Long

I don't understand how being a rookie takes the pressure off. All it seems to signal to a player is that he has his last chance. As far as I can tell Long has been dedicated to his rehab and is being struck by bad luck. He probably doesn't need the head**** of a demotion.

Now that he is at training and over the worst of his injuries I'd say he wont be going anywhere.

Long is essentially a new draft pick anyway. The advantage we have is that we are in complete control of his body (unlike anyone who could walk through the door).

We need to know that we can't get him right before doing anything dramatic. Robinson wouldn't have been brought in if improvements didn't need to be made to our strength and conditioning.

It seems surreal that we're actually going to see this kid play (NAB) AFL in a few days.

 

[BrunoV]

Yep, I'm as excited about seeing this guy play as I am about any of the recruits.

I reckon he, Andrew Lee and Scott Gumbleton are actually the same person.

Re: 13. Anthony Long

Question, as all I know about this kid is his name.

Is he a crumber goal sneak or more of a wingman/HBF runner?

Re: 13. Anthony Long

'cos that's the only two positions he could play???



He's a half-back, very classy, very poised.

Kind of like Jarrod Harbrow, Dapper..

At least that's what my youtube told me.

Attentione, il est Myron!

Good luck to the kid. Hopefully he can stay injury free.

 

[Slattery_20]

Myron? He's made of plasticine, how can he get injured.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Thread title implies that he's been on the field before.

 

[Kong]

Haha.

 

[Jade]

Keen to see him play tonight.....

Well it is preseason. Monfries was shanking them as well, and he's normally a good disposer of the ball.

Hopefully he gets another crack next game.

 

[DapperDon]

You know someone is worried about their hammies when they are too scared to build up a slight jog.

I still have faith in him though, it's in his genes.

 

[Tassieboy]

Fair to say he was tentative.

 

[Childish Gambino]

Still has A. Long way to go.

It all seriousness though, he is nowhere near AFL level.

 

[efcboy]

the kid hasn't played in a LONG time. give him a break ffs

Of course, but he was a chicken in the headlights tonight.
