Definitely worth persisting with in my opinionHow are you guys finding Ned so far?
I really liked him and think he would be a very good AFL player but unfortunately didn't get the opportunities with us.
I don't mind him, seems like he just needs a clear and consistent run at it.Hope you guys give him solid midfield time, he is a contested beast.
He reminds me of chuck Norris, a bit.Long is harder than a cats head
MCG 160 x 141Really happy he had a break out game but as others have said, the SCG suited his slow, strong tackling game. I still worry about him on the G on a sunny day in a big game.
He's no slower than Cripps and with a bit more size, could be a real bonus. BTW, I don't think he's overly slow.

I'll be happy but very surprised if he becomes a regular in the coming years. He gives me Luke Godden vibes.He's no slower than Cripps and with a bit more size, could be a real bonus. BTW, I don't think he's overly slow. He's faster than Lippa and Pendles

AFL quality mids have to execute correct decisions quicklyHaha. Comparing his speed to one bloke who is below AFL standard due in no small part to his lack of speed (Lippa), and another who is a gun because of his absolute never-seen-before game and congestion awareness, disposal quality, and never-seen-before decision making, each of which can cover up for his lack of speed.
The trouble with Long is that he doesn't just lack speed, he also lacks disposal polish / decision making.
His DE is 67% and was in Top5 for speed last week according to the AFL app. At the rate he’s improving week to week, combined with his size and grunt, a permanent role is definitely on the cards.Haha.
