Ben Long
The AFL website is reporting that Ben Long is attracting interest from both Melbourne and Essendon during this weeks trade discussions.
Long is rated elite for kicking efficiency and one percenters and is the type of player we can ill afford to lose.
I hope the powers at Linton Street rate him as highly as I and reject any approach which may be made.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Yep, mind boggling. Stating as if some form of leverage to get Kent. Pick 60 could get that done. Oh sh!t, anyone seen pick 60? Anyone?

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
It all becomes clear now
Shiel wants to come to us - but the pressure is on not to nominate us
Shiel nominates Essendon for big money
Essendon show their hand looking for Long (Uncle/Nephew and all)
Trade is done - Shiel for Long and a future 4th Rounder
Essendon pay the bulk of Shiels contract - we pay the difference between what he was offered by us and what Essendon have contracted him for.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Easy folks. Doesn’t say anything about doing a deal. Just says that the Drug Cheats expressed an interest. Reckon there will be plenty of clubs ‘enquiring about players from other clubs.
Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Haha! Getting closer but this has to be Essendon planting the seed. Picking over our bones. Well we ain’t dead yet (I hope).

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Pure madness, he represents pace, class and hope - all in short supply. We should be right out front with a strong denial.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
All the article said was that they were looking at him and you can't blame them. No real story there

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Its a speculative article on afl.com.au that says Essendon and Melbourne are possibly interested.
How did that interpret into we want to get rid of him or make him part of a deal.
Settle down.

Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
They will use that to get Shiel -perhaps get James Hird as an assistant so that he can “enhance” the performance of some of our players .
