2013 SuperCoach Player Profile: Billy Longer

[nrich102]

Billy Longer - Brisbane Lions


Price - $247,300(FanPlanner)

2012 Games - 5

2012 Average - 57

2012 Scores - 85, 23, 56, 63, 60

Summary - The number 5 draft pick had a good season playing 5 games. I think that Longer could improve, but with Luenburger returning, I'm not sure if he will make the team and if he does he will probably be the sub.

Verdict- Not in my team, but I can see him improving.

Predicted Average- 60

Wont be in my team. He is still developing and the return of L-Berge will hurt his JS and scores. If he is this price next year, I may be tempted...

[AFEV]

Could be F/R? Either way definitely won't be starting him, can't bench him at that price but obviously won't be playing/scoring enough to start. Should be interesting to see how he goes with Leu back though.

[Jroo]

I would rather Berger! But Longer will be a great ruckmen in a few years time

[Nige]

With Leuey at the price he is and other options like Witts, Longer won't be for me. Also, the addition of Stefan Martin to the Brisbane team can't be overly good news for Longer can it?

[Ringo]

Longer is still only 19 and with body developing can see him only getting minimal games this year,  He is being developed as a R/F as well to meet Lions structure of playing 2 ruckman who can play another position.

A long way off consideration yet

[Adamant]

Not unless Luey goes down again, and even then...

Not unless Luey goes down again, and even then...

Now?

Must admit I have him since Burgers latest injury.

Must admit I have him since Burgers latest injury.

Think Burger will be fine come round 2/3 so longer may only last the first 2 weeks.
