Billy Longer

[Bones Bombers]

Anyone considering this guy as fourth ruck? Have Big O there at the moment but not overly impressed so far.
Any extra info on Longer?

I don't understand why people are so disappointed with Stephenson

They put this imaginary huge "He's going to kill it" hype on him and when he only scores about 60 or so everybody turns in disgust.

Redden is also much cheaper than Longer and provides equal if not more Job security than Longer.

Big O is a gun...

I think billy and leuy will be the same ruck combo like cox and nicnat at west coast well in a bit of time. i think after billy's form in nab cup and his high draft stock he should be defently considered by brisbane. also with the loss of bownie for a couple of rounds Im thinking lions will want another tall in there fwds and billy is defently capable of kicking goals and have a run in the ruck to rest luey.
Fair price as a high draft pick but could defently be considered as 3rd or 4th ruck, but like a lot of these more unique players there is other cheaper options i.e. redden. So ur final decision on him should souly be if your happy to pay the price for him.

O was vested in i think every game or all but one.

Don't worry I haven't given up on O yet but I am looking at my options, plus if I go with Longer and he goes well he may be a good unique, not sure about that risk though!

I wasn't directly talking to you. More the community of people who seem to think he's the next Relton Roberts

Longer's a fair crack. But the extra 50k odd could do a lot as well

i think i read somewhere that theres no throw in from boundary rule in Nab so it effects the ruckys scores cos they dont get as many hitouts. so the rucks should score bit more than they did in real season?

Correct. Expect rucks to score 15 more hit outs each in the home and away season.

Brogan...

For the fourth ruck positon, its best to go cheap and spend the extra coin elsewhere.
