#34 Jake Long - you’re cut, so long

KEEP HIM IN

What young player doesn’t make the odd mistake having to rise to AFL level intensity. Fark our senior players also do it plenty even with 100 games behind them still.

But if you look at everything else he did it around that was pretty good game IMO

Thought the spin and give was pretty classy.
Read the play and linked up well.
In close,under AFL heat,yep was found wanting.

But only more of that will allow him to adjust.

A Long shot to stay on the list,but gets another couple just to be sure we dont unearth something weve only seen flickers of. Theres something there,just not sure he wants it enough.

Might even go past Fletch’s record if he can manage to stay on the list that long.

Most times suspended for tripping? Hasn’t shown much inclination for that.

Love the negativity here… not.

Play the kids. That’s what we should have done after the Carlton Match.

Harsh to delist if we don’t give him games in a season where we won’t make finals.

  • Think back to post-season 2017. Most supporters expected Jerrett and Long to be delisted.
  • Morgan leaving probably saved one.
  • Another was saved by the list decision that we weren’t interested in using pick 80+…considering it is a two year commitment.
  • When Jerrett and Long have been picked for senior footy in 2018, they haven’t held their spots.

In summary, the coaches’ view is clear, they’re both gone. Don’t let your hopes rebuild after this.

There were signs to keep playing him, but maybe too many indicators to move him on, all in the one game.

Go back and have 35 touches and 2 goals please.

Long will probably still play if Fantasia is a late out again.

He can’t do that because he’s not named in the VFL

Nice knowing ya

Thought he showed a bit last week. Hopefully he gets another game or two by season’s end to see which way he’ll go.

No brainer to drop him if Fanta and Parish are fit though.

Harsh to drop him and leave in Colyer and Baguley

That was unbelievable.

If your looking for small things to see if a player ‘has it’. It’s moments like that play. Just pure class.

His axing is symbolic of the problem with this club. Season over and we drip him. Should have been told he has 3 weeks to prove he deserves a new contract. Instead he comes in takes risks some came off some didnt and he is immediately dropped. In the meantime blokes like colyer gifted games. Infuriating

Very stiff to be dropped ahead of Colyer.

Why? Players get delisted all the time without having got senior games.

Bit stiff not playing again.
