I just posted a link from the Saints website. Read it
“Ben has had a contract offer from the Club for a number of months now, so we’re naturally disappointed to receive this news, particularly as we believe Ben has a lot of good football in front of him,” Head of List Management James Gallagher said.

Re: Long Wants Out
GCS is reportedly offering Long a $600K contract. He’s good, but not THAT good. A shame to see him go to a plastic AFL entity, though.

EDIT:
"Competitive Stamina" appears to be the mantra - I guess stay in the game longer / stay in the game when challenged...hopefully stay in the season when challenged.

Re: Long Wants Out
Whatever the assessments on here I am sure we can all agree Ben gave the club far more than Hannebery, for a lot less money, disharmony and ridicule.
(Don't you think he is better than some of Melbourne's no name flankers: Rivers, Sproule, Hunt.....and they play for a top 4 side.)
And sometimes I wonder about Ben being better value than Brad H. in hard fought games. But price tags say I must be wrong.

Re: Long Wants Out
ST KILDA'S Ben Long has requested a trade to Gold Coast.
AFL.com.au reported last week that Long had attracted interest from the Suns, and the Saints confirmed on Wednesday that he has requested a trade.

Re: Long Wants Out
I think a swap for Brayden Fiorini would be good. This guy could be real good. He's a better footballer than Long.

Re: Long Wants Out
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a contract worth $600,000 for a few years would , if it was a free agency compensation pick, come in at end of first round.
That's what we should be getting for him, pick 25

Re: Long Wants Out
Based on his last game for us, he's worth at least what Gold Coast is happy to pay him, and at least a second round pick ... especially given that it is (purported to be, anyway) a very average draft.
Now over to the saint "brain trust" to see what we get suckered into accepting.
