Justin Longmuir V Troy Simmonds

[Cassius_Clay]

Longmuir 25, Simmonds 27.

Who would you rather have in your team. Both the same type of players, both ruck and both play up forward.

Put it this way... I would have been devastated if J-Lo had've left our club. With Simmonds it was... well that's a bugger, but really - meh.

Their ruck work is about even IMO. Justin has not got "rubber ******'s syndrome" and is a better kick on goal, particularly under pressure.

JLo is twice the player Rubbertits is. Better ruckwork, better marking, a more accurate kick and can play all over the ground.

I wouldn't say he has better ruckwork. A more complete player than Simmonds. More versatile and better up forward and around the ground, meaning I concur with you.

Versatility = Longmuir
Ruck work = about equal
Aggressiveness = Simmonds
Forward = Longmuir
Marking = Longmuir
Set shot on goal = Longmuir

Longmuir struggles against the aggressive ruck type. Thats where Sandilands excels though, so we have a very good pair.

Watch out for Sandilands this year. He will be very dominant, with an excellent backup in Longmuir.

Interesting to compare them, given where they came from. JLo, a #2 pick, Troy in the PSD. JLo also touted as the next big thing, firstly as a CHF/FF, now as a ruck/CHF; Troy always a borderline player at Melb as a tall defender, backup ruck. Freo gave Troy a huge boost by making him our #1 ruckman, but it probably held JLo back a bit - he wasn't ready to be a #1 CHF/FF, should have been a backup ruck/bit forward instead.

No real surprise to see the vote so heavily weighted towards JLo.

Very happy to not have Simmonds on our books for 4 more years.

I'd take JLo for his ability up forward.

They are both pretty average, but if I had to pick one i'd take Longmuir.

 

[Locky]

I'd take Longmuir, only coz hes an alright foward and eagles have no fowards

 

[Kenny_01]

Seriously, Longmuir >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Simmonds.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Neither?

We'd probably take Longmuir though, with our lack of experience ruckmen.

Any club in the AFL would love to poourtunity to pick J'Lo up. If you dont agree your obviously a poor judge of tlent, have no idea in general or have never seen him play.

 

[celtic_pride]

Longmuir, easily.

Both would make your side very easily.

J-Lo would make any team in the comp.
