Not really going to be considered but maybe something to look for next year.
Nathan Ablett or Tom Lonergan?

Nathan, give him time, it'll be worth it in the long run. Btw Lonergan cant be selected due to being a rookie and im pretty sure not the nominated one.

The powers that be at Geelong may seriously consider him given that he is a 197cm mobile player. I think that he could be very handy as a backline option next year with a summer in the gym under his belt.

Yep, he might not be as naturally talented as Nablett, but I think he is maybe more committed and harder at the contest than Nathan. If he could play games like todays in the AFL, then he would be a great option.

you must surely be kidding yourself...
this is the VFL which is so far below the AFL standard it is not funny
as great a story Longergan was today and how nice it was for him to comeback so well, he simply isn't up to AFL standard...i'm sorry, he isn't..
good VFL player, that is all
Well done today though Lonergan! You were great!

I do not think that he would be seriously considered as a forward option in front of Hawkins, Nablett or Mooney but he could be a handy player in the backline. He is tall and mobile and was playing very well in the backline last year. He was selected in the senior side against Melbourne in defense when he was injured.
Don't get too carried away, they were playing Richmond reserves!Lonners could be our version of Adam Hunter next season. Kill someone in the backline in the first half, then go forward in the 2nd half and sneak a few goals.
Shalom Rabbi ! Hope you had a good Yom Kippur (it was on the most recent Shabbat in case you didn't know! - And a very happy Rosh Hashana this year!)
You're absolutely right about Nathan playing down back, he's done it before and has stepped up, got involved and gets some confidence down there, Hank Playfair mentioned on the interview on ABC today after the Magoo's GF win stating a similar thing.

Sukkot and Simchat Torah next....I can't wait!
The whole team was great on Sunday.
It will be a shame to see Gardiner and Playfair traded or something. I've a soft spot for both of them.
