Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
If ever a club needed a ruckman it's Geelong and Longer would be a perfect fit. Longers ruckwork is very high quality and rated highly in AFL circles. Geelongs midfield were chasing arse last night as Gawn dominated the taps. Longer should be on the radar and we should be pushing him that way.

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
Not an unusual situation against Gawn...more than happy for Billy to get a gig there, but Stanley, Smith, Abbott and Big Sav, do they need another ruck?

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
Dreaming.
Pick 40 to 50 is Longer’s worth.
He won’t become another McEvoy, who we only got pick 19ish + Savage for
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
Stonecold has been saying that Longer to Geelong is already a done deal.
Will be interesting to see if it happens

But haven't the pussycats got Rhys Stanley?

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
Not a bad fit for them. He's above average in ruck work and apparently is great at 'blocking' so could at least give their star midfield first use. Longer and Pick 63 for Pick 47 and 2019 3rd round pick?

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
Longer’s ruck work is of very high quality? His taps may look good, it’s just a shame that he doesn’t get his hand to it often enough and his last run against Gawn is hardly a positive endorsement.CURLY wrote: ↑Sat 08 Sep 2018 10:46am If ever a club needed a ruckman it's Geelong and Longer would be a perfect fit.

That being said, I’ve suspected Geelong have been interested in him for a while. They probably fancy their chances of developing him properly, unlike us who just can’t develop players, let along rucks. You know what, I think they’re probably right!

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
If no-one will take Longer and we don't recruit or draft another ruckman he'll get a one year contract. If we do he'll be delisted.

Re: Billy Longer meet Chris Scott
In the words of the late EJ " i tipped this" My mail from mid year was correct, they want a physical ruckman as all they have are the athletic non physical types.
