We took Ben Long one place in front of .....

[Joffa Burns]

This weeks rising star winner Brandon Parfitt

Let the games begin!

[saintspremiers]

Long sounds better than Parfit and is also part aboriginal

[Proph3t of egan]

Don't think he would be a very good inclusion to us, much better suited for Geelongs game plan

[Joffa Burns]

Parfitt has played 3 games and has already won the rising star.
He wears Bartel's number 3 jumper.

Ben Long is yet to play a game.
Surely this is another blunder by our recruiters.
It must be!

[DJ Higgins]

what does part aboriginal have to do with anything? A player is either good or bad, tough or weak, regardless of skin colour.

[BigMart]

The deeper you get into the draft, the more of a lottery it becomes

Unless there is an obvious slider

Where did SPP go?

[dragit]

Surely this is another blunder by our recruiters.
It must be!

It could well be… don't tempt fate.

[BigMart]

Why

Is Long a bust?

I think you'll find he will go ok...

[Joffa Burns]

Why

Is Long a bust?

I think you'll find he will go ok...

Ofcourse Long is a bust, Parfitt has played 3 matches and won the rising star in a top three undefeated team.
Long hasn't played a game yet, gone, finito, finished another stuff up by our recruiters!

[bigcarl]

We took Jade Gresham at pick 18? in 2015. Did we get that one right?

[BigMart]

Seemed to go ok in the JLT?

Has looked fine, if he's in third year, and struggling to get 5 touches in a game, has never dominated vfl and never shown much at AFL level

Yeah perhaps a thread

Lonie got threads in Year 2

[MC Gusto]

Spud was very bullish on long this morning on sen

Said he will play this week or next

Said this kid can do anything

They get favoured treatment.
Called affirmative action.

[saintbrat]

Ben has also NOT been available to be selected
as he was serving a 2 game suspension from VFL GF

[kosifantutti]

There's a pattern emerging.

Ryan Burton was the round 2 nominee. He was given Sam Mitchell's number. We took Gresham with the the pick before Burton. Gresham has not been nominated this year for the rising star.

Another mistake.

[Con Gorozidis]

A bit early to talk about Ben Long.
Parfitt looks like a beast.
I'm predicting both will be good.
Good to see some recruits from the NT making their mark.

Yep!

[stonecold]

Let's pop Benny, before he even plays a game, great supporters we have!!!!!

[desertsaint]

Joffa being naughty, but if Long doesn't blow our minds in his first three games, no doubt some supporters will be up in arms!

[remboy]

Yep, it's a decision that will cost us at least five flags.

[stonecold]

Joffa being naughty, but if Long doesn't blow our minds in his first three games, no doubt some supporters will be up in arms!

Yeah I know, Joffa is Joffa, we have agreed and disagreed for many years now!!!!!

Just over some 'So-Called Supporters' popping the staff, club and players on this forum, when we are actually going ok, just need a bit of fine-tuning!!!!!

[shrodes]

I don't know half the people on here, so wasn't sure if it was serious... it's fairly well known that Long was suspended the first two rounds, and couldn't have played even if he was the greatest player on our list.

[Griggsy]

should trade hawks pick 1 for him. Rather a known star like parfitt than trusting our recruiting staff.

[SaintPav]

Ahmed Saad, Terry Milera and Eli Templeton all looked pretty good in their first few games too.
