Player Watch Ned Long

[whiskeytown]

Has there been any reporting anywhere on how long Smit and Long nominated for - 6 months or 18 months?

I think historically… the pies have offered all their MSD players 18 months til now

I'm pretty sure MSD picks can pick their own terms, we've just happened to select players who have chosen 18 months.

Welcome Longy!

It did feel we wanted him for a long time early on. Then he was "managed" and missed a few games.
Then.. went from training with us every week to... I havent seen him in weeks.

Reckon a little hiding indeed.

 

[Jen2310]

Also, its the player that nominates the length not the club. I'm sure we'll give him another year if he performs for the rest of the season

Welcome ned, just fix your kicking and you'll play this year

Oh golly, don't tell me he is a poor kick?

Maybe a Brayden Sier prototype.

Why does Brayden Sier get talked about so much? An insignificant chapter in Collingwood history.

Here are some guys who played more games for Collingwood than Brayden Sier:

-Josh Smith
-Adam Oxley
-Chris Bryan
-Tim Broomhead
-Guy Richards
-Sam Dwyer
-Jack Madgen

I don't see why Ned Long would be a prototype of such an irrelevant player.

No, just needs a bit of work like most players I would imagine

It was also Mattys123 on Twitter, who thinks himself as some kind of thought leader on all things footy and offers no sources or corrections on anything he posts, even if someone disputes something he says.

I saw someone say Smit was 18 months and Long 6, but that was somewhere on BF

It was me and I got it from an article

Why does Brayden Sier get talked about so much? An insignificant chapter in Collingwood history.......

Because he went to Marcellin - a distant cousin of St Kevin's

 

[Jen2310]

Wonder why he wasn't at training then, if they went to his house.

Wasn't training monday night either. Hopefully not injured lol

Now name how many of those had 21 touches (14 contested) and 7 clearances in about 50% game time of a grand final ?

Sier is a could have been ... Those guys you listed never were

Becuase Sier was more talented than those listed. How many Grandfinals did those listed play in.

I would have thought the comparison with Long is obviously due to both being 190cm+ big bodied mids.

That's what got him over the line with Dekka.

I would say Oxley is the most talented of that motley crew

 

[manicpie]

Have you met me?

The AFL had a small list of players that nominated 18 month contracts but it was just a small list of the more fancied nominations, neither were on the list so we don't really know

 

[nahnah]

Ranking past players for no reason is fun, i will go

1. Oxley
2. Broomhead
3. Bryan
4. Sier
5. Richards
6. Madgen
7. Dwyer
8. Josh Smith

Given Fly had some involvement in Pickett playing the grand final after being taken in the MSD and having a long period out injured... we'd be every chance to just play him on Friday night. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
