VFL Rd 3 Zebras Vs Seagulls ( Williamstown)

[takeaway]

Then if he's so ill-equipped to play at the senior level, why did we give Longer another contract (honest question)? My next question is; is it a one or two year contract?

Because we don't have anyone else. If Longer hadn't got injured he would have been our first ruck in round one. Marshall only got a gig because Longer was injured and Pierce wasn't good enough.

But we did before he was offered the contract - Hickey. Pretty obvious now that Marshall has made the #1 Ruck position at St. Kilda his, but it sounds like Longer is going to be playing for the reserves all year unless we specifically get an injury to Marshall. I wonder if he would've signed the contract in the first place if he knew this would be the case. Mind you I have always been of the opinion that Longer and Hickey's greatest weakness was always injuries. They get back in the side and get injured again.

If Bruce doesn't come up you may have the pleasure of Billy out there vs Adelaide.

Of course Longer would’ve signed it, who else was going to offer him one?
