Player Watch Ned Long

[Kappa]

Mitchell should be dominating VFL level before we even think about recalling him

If he can’t get 50-odd, we don’t want him.

It's funny to me posters question my personal stability/loneliness/'hatred'/obsession while at the same time posting negative, unintelligent crap that I wouldn't post to others! Ironically, a lot of these posters responding have the ability to post good, intelligent, funny shit too!

CFC's midfield got smashed again on Monday and a lot of that was due to Ned! Suck it up, IMO, there should more talk about what needs to be improved rather than exploring potential possibilities of my personal environment.

Long isn't just the most improved player at Collingwood, he is arguably the most improved player in the AFL. After landing a second chance via last year's Mid-Season Rookie Draft, the 194cm midfielder has become a permanent fixture this year, helping balance a midfield built around Nick Daicos by providing a ruthless defensive edge at the coalface

No one could question your personal stability after you memorably posted that you are well built and successful.

I, for one, really look up to you.

If you focused more on building evidence and providing an analysis to argue this case rather than just having wild pot shots at Ned Long your posts would go down better.

The only issue I have is that besides yourself, non of the football world sees Ned that way. Most are calling him the most improved player in the comp. Maybe the club doesn't see it as an issue. If our midfield was such an issue, why wasn't Nick moved forward or back to try and get him in the game? Melbourne sacrificed 2 players around stoppages to quell Nick. All it done was stifled Melbourne's ability to score freely. There's method in the madness but Ned isn't the reason we aren't winning the clearances.

Ned Long has been a revelation and is in our top five players this year.

having a 37 and 34 year old inside consistently for a whole game will do that Sidey to half forward/wing at times and Pendles for rests at half back from midfield stints should be the way going forward not saying they weren't fantastic in the midfield on Monday though

Surely taking the piss

AND ANOTHER ONE

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

ah yes because (checks stats) 21 disposals , 7 tackles and 1.1 on the scoreboard is a rubbish day at the office lol he's a star

 

[Anzacday]

And just like that, he wins again.

Jar Jar lol

 

[satty]

ned just needs to polish up his kicking, something for him to work on during the off season.

 

[Copeland]

Same. He’s a smart dude so I reckon you’re right.

He's 20 odd games into his career and 22yo. He will have games like this whilst he's learning.

He was given a lot of responsibility to negate the attacking Dees mid at stoppages- mainly Pickett or Trac
This makes getting his own clearances a little harder
I question the footy knowledge of people going Ned as the main issue with our midfield

not his fault and he had a very good game but it clearly showed Beau had rarely had a extended period of midfield time on Monday so that was part of the clearance issues

Ned is part of the issue with our midfield. If he doesn’t play it is a lot worse.

 

[Robroy22]

I'm confused....did we lose again or something?
