Re: Longer - 1 paltry disposal
Longer had 1 disposal in a half and was soundly beaten in the ruck for a second straight week before getting injured.
Goldstein was the second best ranked player on the ground - Longer ranked #43 - second last.
Even Hickey's "embarrassing" game dwarfs Longers current output.

Re: Longer - 1 paltry disposal
I think Longer had a good game some time in the under 18s ten years ago because he was the same size he is now against kids.
That's his claim to fame.

It's ok to bag ' Hickledik' but Billy Farmer-Cox is off limits.

He played a couple of poor games but his best against West Coast was way better than anything Longer offered all year.
I read that Hickey played well yesterday, so maybe they will finally see sense.

I do not support Hickey or Longer specifically, I'm not a fan of either to be honest.
I'd rather see Marshall given a run as he is young and has potential and let's face facts, we are going nowhere this year.
My point is you deem in acceptable to bag Hickey but take the moral high ground in defense of Longer.
Let's make them generic Ruck man A and generic Riuk man B.
You think it's ok to belittle one while defending the other.
Hypocrite!

So you can bag Hickey as much as you like but are on a high horse about Longer?
It is plain obvious to a child that Longer isn't a good player.
Show us your resume. You are the one that keeps bringing it up.
I assume you have a PhD in being a ******** and masters in idiocy and played 100 games for the Brunswick Bullshitters. Two b n fs for the same side.
Show us your resume.
And no resume will make Longer a good player.
That doesn't mean I support Hickey but your constant belittling of Hickey is piss poor.
You are a hypocrite.

Re: Longer - 1 paltry disposal
Hey, SC. why don't you rock up to training and tell Tom Hickey how terrible he is and that he's cooked. And call him Hickledick to his face and tell him how bad a player he is. Or give him the ultimate insult and tell him he's worse than Billy. That would really sting and would probably hurt him more than any other sledge you could come up with. It would probably be the ultimate motivation to get back to his best. It may be the kick up the bum he needs. The main reason TMBK prefers Billy is he is a reflection of the coach. Lacking talent and skill, a mediocrity who's not up to it. A bit like TMBK himself. Those first two games have been pearlers haven't they? He's had a combined total of 8 possessions in those games, been smashed in the hit outs and had his pants well and truly pulled down by Goldy and Martin.
You talk a big game, SC. you've even threatened to inflict violence on several posters, me included. You've tried to give the impression you're a hard man, stand over crim who's done time. You claim to look like Stone Cold Steve Austin The wrestler! A big noting actor who pretends to be a fighter in a make believe sport, if you can call it that. I can imagine why it appeals to you. You do know the difference between reality and fantasy, don't you? I find it amusing your nickname is taken from WWE. You do know that's not real, either, don't you? Maybe not.
I've got a strong feeling you won't front Tom, the way you dare others to confront players they critisize. Go on, pop down and do it. I'll check in with him if someone approached him and did what I asked you to do. I'm not holding my breath. Given the amount of abuse you subject other posters to, I'm surprised you haven't been pinged for trolling. You hardly ever contribute anything other than lots of punctuation marks!!!!!!
PS. Your attacks on Con became tiresome a long time ago. Give it a rest along with the accusations he's a filth supporter. He's a genuine saints man who's not a sychophant. A certain person comes to mind when I think of filth trolls and it isn't Con.

At least I can say I've actually worn the jumper, have you, legend!!!!!
Genuine Saints people might have a go and get disappointed at performances, but to constantly bag the Club time and time again ain't genuine!!!!!
This is a supporters Forum, last time I looked, disappointment sure, but to constantly bag the Club, well, enough said!!!!!
By the way, this is (!) an explanation mark!!!!!
I'll ask Billy if he comes across any Yellow Backs in he's travels!!!!!
By the way, if Hickledik hasn't worked out he is behind Billy in the pecking order, that's explains enough!!!!!

Re: Longer - 1 paltry disposal
Personally, I am a fan of both Hickey and Longer. Both St. Kilda players and both have lots of development left in them. I think we play better as a team when they are both out there together, it just hasn't happened for years. And there is no evidence that playing two ruckmen would make us slower, just like against conventional wisdom two certain teams went into recent grand finals with undersized forward lines and won flags.
I think it's great that there is competition for spots and with Marshall coming up hopefully our ruck division can improve and become a weapon, because at the moment we are getting smashed in the clearances (although a lot of the reason for this is that we desperately need an elite outside midfielder).

Re: Longer - 1 paltry disposal
Hickey’s best has shown to be much better than Longer’s, so I’d put my game time into him, he has much more of an upside than Longer. Don’t know too much about the younger guys, but again I’d rather see them given a chance, after all couldn’t be worse than Longer’s 1 kick and getting flogged in the tap outs every week.
And it is possible to critisise someone’s football ability without attacking them personally. I’m sure they’re all trying to do their best, and it’s not up to them whether they’re picked or not.
And watching the Cats v Hawks game right now, what I wouldn’t do to have McEvoy or even Stanley back in the team right now...
