Player Watch Ned Long

Ned Long insight from First Crack tonight displaying his impact.

Ranked #6th in the league for turning an effective clearance into a score.
Points from clearance we are +24 when Long plays, -7 when he's a sub or not playing.

And the effect on ND is paramount

ND when Long is playing / not playing

32.2 possessions per game / 26.1 possessions per game
19.9 UP per game / 14.1 UP per game
600m gained / 252m gained

Basically turns Nick Daicos from first possession winner to first possession receiver where he does his best damage.

Could be the formula that sees us play deep into September.

And that's exactly what we needed. Another wombat. Do the gritty, tough, down & dirty stuff & get it out to Nick.

Ned is flying, but Nick's Ned as sub stats are down because of the R1 cramp when Ned was sub.

Today I went back and rewatched the Rd 17 Pies v Bombers match.

Ned Long was the sub and did a very good job when he came on - so some hindsight and belated kudos.

You're a glutton for punishment. Watching a replay of us in that patch when we were playing horribly last year wouldn't be high on my agenda.

I just looked out of curiosity. We only lost by 12 points and we lost every single stat. I remember it feeling like a 6 goal loss!

I remember it being painful. We were just rolling back and allowing them to chip it forward and it felt like the whole game was in our defence.

I just remember one passage of play clearly where they just chipped it around our backline and walked it out to the easiest transition goal I've ever seen.

Didn't help that I had an Essendon campaigner in front of me acting like it was the Baby Bombers 2.0.

This doesn't come as a surprise however, there was a bloke
named Tom Mitchell who helped win us a flag in 2023 and then only played 6 games last year of which 3 were wins and a draw. suffice to say that it isn't as much about the player it's about the team dynamics and the domino effect by having an in and under bull is clear for all to see

Not that I’m encouraging people to bet, though Long is paying $34 to win the Anzac medal against a team ranked last in contested possessions…

Already on Ol’ Thick Neck Ned for the medal. He’s the type that gets the favourable ‘spirit of the Anzacs’ votes.
The conditions will suit him as well.

Very encouraging to see him put together a streak of good games, shows that his early performances this year were no flukes.

There was a play in the second half where he was working hard and digging deep to get the ball. Reminded me of what Mitchell did in 2023, he’s essentially covered that role which was something i thought we missed last year.
