Well done Longy.

It’s disgraceful we didn’t have anyone good enough for rising star last year.

That's a tick for the recruiting team for targeting Longy ( itk's hinted as such in late 2016) and a tick for the coach and selectors for giving Longy consecutive games this year and trusting in the kid.

Well done Ben

Fantastic effort Benny Long. He was awesome on Saturday.

Hope that shuts up the woman who always sits behind me and who spent 95% of the GWS match loudly complaining about him.

Drives me spare. Cannot abide supporters continually bagging our own at the ground.

Well, if she played, it was in 1985. She's still big on man on man defence ...

Be good if battle could have a big game.....say about 10 marks and 4 goals that would seal it.

Feel like Ed Phillips was stiff to get dropped and stiff to not already have a nomination. Has looked right at home from game 1.

3 goals on the weekend probably would have done it if not so early on in his tenure!

Yep. we have certainly blooded a few kids who can play the game this year, with a couple more to come.

The future isn't looking all that bad.

Updated list from recent draftees:
2018: Ben Long, Hunter Clark
2017: nil
2016: Blake Acres and Jade Gresham
2015: Jack Lonie
2014: Luke Dunstan and Jack Billings

Not too bad. We might get a couple more this year.
