Surely he's gotta be the most unlucky player on our list. When Connolly came to the club didnt he rate him in his 'future 7'? I seem to remember he did but could be wrong.
Anyway, that aside, this guy has done nothing wrong and is continually snubbed for higher profile yet underperforming players. RE Trent Croad last year, J.Lo, Waterhouse to an extent (but who wants to see him miss out?
)
Last year he had to string together about 5 near best on ground performances for west perth before he even got a look in. He had a solid preseason in my opinion and deserves his place in the side.
Its all good an well giving youth a look in, for example gilmore who is probably filling the 21st/22nd place that longmuir could step into. But Longmuir is young. And surely he's earnt a game, through form both in the preseason, wafl, and last years regular season games.
I wouldn't be surprised if he started looking elsewhere for a game, He'd probably step into half the sides in the league without trying, I think he's being taken for granted a bit for his desire of playing with Justin and his apparent reluctance to move.
It'd be a shame to lose him. I rate him highly. This post obviously contains bias, I am a fan, interesting to see what everyone else thinks.

Ps. If cooky doesnt get a game next week get ready for another like minded post haha, 22 possessions, 28 possessions, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that he might need 1 more game to be fully fit, lets hope this is the case.
