Longmuir/Sporn last week

Not sure if it has been said yet or not as i have not been through each thread, but why were kids like Josh Kennedy, Luke Blackwell and Jordan Russel dropped for Troy Longmuir and Trent Sporn?

Longmuir spent 26 minutes on the ground and Sporn 56 mins. I thought perhaps Pagan may of dropped them and brought longmuir in to prove his worth, but if that was the case why did he only get 26 minutes on the ground?? Thats less than a quarter of football. It is beyond all logic, can anyone else explain this???

Same with Sporn, he was obviously brought in to repalce Blackwell, but spend most of the match on the bench. How can Sporn or Longmuir prove themselves this way?

Very depressing from a fans point of view having to watch it, and very depressing for the indivudals themeslves

i hope we delist longmuir at the end of this year coz he's just stopping some other young kid from getting a go and as for sporn hope we can utilise him being a high draft pick (no.11) and perhaps trade him for a 2nd round or trade him in conjunction with up to 5 players for 1 good young player or 1st round pick

His original draft pick 6 years ago is no longer relevant. He wouldn't be worth a 6th round pick atm.

Great idea - let's trade longmuir, sporn, prendergast, teague, bryan and lappin for Essendon*'s 1st pick.

obviously thats not going to happen but another team might be willing to give up a no.10 or 11 pick or even a 2nd round would be worth more than all of them put together

I hope this doesn't shock any of you, but I really don't think John Elliott was a very good president.

I KNOW I KNOW!!!! I THOUGHT THAT WOULD SHOCK SOME OF YOU!!!!

Longmuir would have been ok for a good side...

But he is really a luxury for us...

I dont mind him but he isnt what we needed...

Lala land tinking he was ...

I guess the debate on Longmuir is now dead in the water. In fact the same with Trent Sporn, he will be delisted and he is worth a second round pick in the DVFL.
