Lineage alone doth not a player make.That lineage tho
Still think we should have played Jake Long40 times. If he had been given the run that Jerret had he woulda made it.PLAYERCARDSTARTJake Long

Why would it be me? I was one of his biggest defenders on here.Best comparison for Long is Guelfi.
Very similar players. Where Guelfi has a bit more guile he didn't have Long's athleticism. Both prone to mistakes and brain fades. It defies logic that one player is regarded as a bright enough prospect / reliable enough to be given 3 years of game time and the other was given 5 games in 3 years.
Someone will come and says Long sucked, it will probably be eth-dog, but that doesn't address the logical fallacy in the reasoning.
Just one person will say Long sucked.Best comparison for Long is Guelfi.

Guelfi is a fair call though Long at his best had more class but less intensity. More likely to run, receive and deliver nearly than to athletically punch a ball out of bounds LOL.Best comparison for Long is Guelfi.

Guelfi much harder at it and a decent mark. Different players
I think back pocket might be his go.Isn’t this the Lachlan Johnson thread??
I thought so to given he'd demonstrated a streak of strong tackling numbers. eDPS says forward is his go, which I don't mind. I don't think Truck would mind a defensive small forward.I think back pocket might be his go.
170 something cm I think will see him in a pocket somewhere rather than middle, unless he's competing with Ned CahillSpoke to his old man a few months ago, said his rehab went really well. He views himself as a forward. But Dodoro hasn't pigeon-holed him and said he could see him forward, middle or back.
I'd have thought from now on that's not Adrian's call.Spoke to his old man a few months ago, said his rehab went really well. He views himself as a forward. But Dodoro hasn't pigeon-holed him and said he could see him forward, middle or back.
A few months ago he was a first year draftee at the start of his ACL rehab so I doubt the coaches would’ve assigned him a group to train with at that point.I'd have thought from now on that's not Adrian's call.
Close to 12 months ago now. I'd assume the coaching staff will have spoken to him, aided his rehab and started mapping his future development since then.A few months ago he was a first year draftee at the start of his ACL rehab so I doubt the coaches would’ve assigned him a group to train with at that point.

Got to be careful because you’re comparing Guelfi’s AFL form with Long’s VFL as whilst he showed one or two turns in his few games there wasn’t much else. There were a few times in VFL as well where not sure he was as fearless as what Guelfi would have been, but fair enough considering his size.Perception v reality.
Long had a real problem with suspension at the end of year 3 (I think it was, might even have been year 4). While he sorted that out he never lost his aggression when tackling.
He was also strong above head, surprisingly strong, and pretty fearless.
The differences between the two came down to "craft" which Guelfi had and athleticism which Long had. That Long could have been an outside runner, which he was not very good at, doesn't detract from the other aspects of his game. If football clubs weren't in the business of wasting talent. Long would probably have ended up a small defender.
I never saw it in Jake either but you could definitely argue that he has showed more than Lachlan Johnson.Perception v reality.

I thought club was more than patient with him in the 5 years or so he was on our list and I think it’s telling that he’s not on another list, not even as a rookie.

Now I love Dustin FletcherPlayers who are not hard at it do not get cited and suspended as much as Long did
