Player Watch Ned Long

[sr36]

Maybe not a highlight for - Shultz maybe doesn't want to do one LOL - "well I didn't really hit my straps .... will be better next year ...... still contributed ..... ".

They had to scrap it because all his highlight stories ended with: 'oh Sorry. That was when I was playing for Freo."

Saving all his Collingwood highlights for next year

Still need inside mid depth that can be called on in case of emergencies.

Played a Fair bit near end of the Season

 

[Rorzza]

IMO, lucky.... Still young, worth another shot.

 

[Cyclops]

I love him, I hope he can make as a cog in our machine. Can't all be AAs on 800k.

I think I am the only 1 that think Long be Solid AFL Player

I've thought he's really standing out in the training footage too, Dave.

Let's hope we're right

I like Ned too ,has talent and plenty of time to develop only 22 next year. A big strong young man who like most young players of his size take a few years.

Easily had his Best Game in the Black and White

Gave us the Grunt that we needed and laid lot of Tackles

Kicking not the best but made up for it with the Grunt Work

Type you want to have 20 Touches with 17-18 Handballs

 

[mwhop]

Can he hold down the Titch role when needed?

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Even if he’s a depth player, he does his role really well. Isn’t blessed with a lot of skill, but just a no nonsense midfield that goes hard and lays tackles.

 

[Lockyer24]

We got a glimpse tonight of what it is he can offer at the top level - if he gets around the ground well enough, he is super hard to tackle, this leads to scoring chains which other players couldn’t provide. Great game

 

[Kirby]

He makes a contest does Ned.

Nice game young man.

 

[rand corp]

In a win of that size and scope, everyone has a good night, and he like everyone else played well, did provide a strong body and some appreciated bullocking grunt and deserves to hold his place.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Reckon he did a great job in nullifying JFHs influence.

Well said. Ones a msd pick. The other cost how much?

Seemed to be able to stand in tackles and still give off - he’s a brute.
And did some great work on JHF.

Dave - you tipped against us - there's a 24hr ban

Ned was great. Vindicated the coaches decision to play him.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Great effort tonight by Ned and admittedly surprised me. As others have pointed out his ability to stand up in tackles and stick them were influential. Well done Ned.

Might have Tipped against again next week

When Dave tips against us that's a guaranteed win. Love it when Dave proclaims it a loss.
