I absolutely would, and I'm a fan of Longy. But there is no way in hell they would offer that

I'd love to be a journo working for the AFL, especially this time of year. I'd perch myself at my Island hut in FNQ and watch the world go by. Meanehile my trained parrot would do the bulk of the cut and paste jobs.

Not - we have seen that he has something - if we take pick 9 we will select a witches hat!

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Long is an elite kick.
Try as we might we havent been able to 'coach' that out of him.
If he can hit a target and score more goals than points in a season he definately doesnt belong at StKilda.
Get pick 9 so we can give it to Sydney for our latest medical project.
Disgraceful.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
I dunno mate... He has paaaahlenty of upside.
Pick nine would probably do it though.
They cant trade Long. Surely this is Essendon folly.

Exactly! Pick 9 is bound for GWS.

Usual trade week garbage.
Not going anywhere. Business as usual.
This kid will be special. Tackles hard. Super fast. Great goal sense. Will be giving us tingles in 2019.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Haven’t they already traded #9 to us for Billings?

I'd be interested in a deal for a top 15 pick.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
One of our few shining lights and people want to trade him because they think they have a crystal ball. Can't believe this is even being discussed.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
Didn't we use a draft pick in the 20's for him. On that basis if we really felt the urge to trade we should be looking below 10

According to SEN the Club has stated this afternoon that there is no truth in this.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne
I love/ hate it.
Last years was terrible and boring beyond belief....but I still hark back to the Gehrig Hamill Lawrence fiesta....and somewhere in my mind I hope for that again.
I have come round to getting Hanners at the right price...could be good especially with Slater joining the coaching panel.
Nee!

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

Loving Ben Long in the red black 'n white
2019 could well be huge for Ben . Very happy we got him onto our list. Ben strikes me as having natural presence on the field/ good reactions.
All the best for 2019 Ben.
