But we're all connected Devil Head. We are all one universal mind - one energy.

Love how Ben likes to play with one sock down.

Very Feng Shui.

I guess you always gotta temper your enthusiasm with these guys you see bursts of that get you hot and bothered. Templeton, Sinclair, NOK, Lonie - everyone said the same thing - "think we've found one here". Tough to get to the top of the AFL tree for consistent periods with so much young talent coming in each year.

Long strikes as having two potential polarities - in a few years time we could either be slapping ourselves on the back for getting this brilliant, fast, mercurial, goal scoring pressuring forward OR wonder what the hell we were thinking using our top pick on a skinny, hot-headed VFL player who had one great game in a VFL GF.

Long's big advantage is that there is a spot there for him that jumps out. Wright saved his career by becoming that pressuring forward but I don't think he has the composure, x-factor and versatility to get us right to the top. Gresham looks like he will segue into a midfield spot. The other small forwards are struggling to show they can compete at AFL level with the big bodies. So the door is wide open for Long. If he becomes a tackling/pressuring machine on our forward line Richo will love him and put him in. Some goals to boot and ability to play HBF or wing gives him a great advantage over other players trying to break in.
