Re: Longer deal done
BREAKING: Billy Longer and pick 48 to @stkildafc for pick 25 and 41.
Absolute Gold! Well done Pelch/Bains - really held your nerve boys - would've been easy to roll over for pick 18. Got the gun they were looking for and kept the top 20 picks.
GO SAINTS!

Anyone done a "Linger" joke yet?

Re: Longer deal done
Interesting position with Bruce now, seeing as we had offered and been rejected by GWS for pick 41.

Re: Longer deal done
From looking at the 2011 Draft Highlight Clip our boy Billy Longer is a beautiful tap ruckman with a terrific set of hands.
Shifter said he is really quick which will be a welcome change from the plodder that used to play for us!!
If Longer can develop into the player that he was considered to be when he was drafted this will be one of the best trades we have made in the last 20 years!!
What we really need to do now is to bring on the best ruck coach that we can afford to develop and nuture Longer and Hickey (and Pearce) and make them the best ruck combo in the comp!

Re: Longer deal done
Looks like a good young ruck division will develop for us - Longer, Hickey and maybe Pearce and Stanley in reserve. Should get Jolly down there for a year to play and mentor and coach the rucks.
Re: Longer deal done
Fair play to Brisbane too. They have used #41 to get Trent West to them. A much more sensible ruck division for them given that Leuenberger is their number 1 ruck who needs a back-up. West is exactly that spudulike.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

God no. We have enough now. One to many IMO but stick with what we have.
