Re: I really rate Longer, Lonie and Dunstan...
Alan Murray and Lonie are NOTHING alike. Alan Murray was more a lead up type forward. His style was more in line with a Tim Membrey (but not nearly as good) though more on the burst/one to one marking rather than height of the ball stuff.saintbob wrote:Lonie = Allan Murray
Dunstan = Mark McGough
Longer = Trent Knobel
McGough got/won a hell of a lot more ball than Dunst and his tank was a lot better too whereas Luke bullocks more and tries harder to get to the right places and get on the end of plays. Also, Luke's disposal is much better which isn't saying much.
Longer to Knobel is a better comparison.

What the hell are you talking about? Even in his first season we knew we had something great with Milney. He consistently scored 40+ goals per season throughout his incredible career, I'm sorry sir but you are talking absolute rubbish.Linton Lodger wrote:Milne was far from great in his first 8 seasons. Lonie is ahead of Milne at the same stage of their careers.carn_sainter wrote:Sorry, this is too much. Milne was a once in a generation player, one of the hardest players to stop so far this century. I have no problems with Lonie as my post above attests but this is too much.Linton Lodger wrote: Lonie will be a gun small forward and will be in the realms of Milne. Milne had more strength, but Lonie is better by foot (in fact elite by foot), more couragious and better overhead. He is freakish overhead for a bloke his size.
I'm 50, I've been watching league footy since I was 3 - I have NEVER followed a small forward in the same class as Milney, you are utterly deluded if you think Lonie is in anyway close to Steven Milne.
Lonie is not Milneys bumhole!
Look again it's the Flash!!

Lonie isn't Milne but I think he's worth persevering with.
Has only played 34 games.

Longer to Knobel is a perfect comparison. Unfortunately.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!
