Lonergan scores upgrade
By Tony Greenberg
2:15pm AEST Thursday, May 16, 2013

Richmond has promoted former Essendon midfielder, Sam Lonergan, from its rookie list to the primary list.

Lonergan, the Tigers’ second selection in the AFL’s rookie draft last December, replaces Chris Knights, who has been placed on the Club’s long-term injury list.

Knights ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee during last Saturday’s win against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium and has subsequently undergone surgery.  He will be sidelined for the remainder of the season.

He's only allowed to kick it when bombing it out of the centre.

Everything else will be handballs

In this situation it doesnt make a lot of sense to promote him and not play him
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Can understand it considering hes only played 2 VFL games back from hamstring. But that being the case I'm not sure why they promoted him, it is t like we have a long injury list. It wasn't any urgency IMO

Any chance he'd develop into an effective tagger?

Never took too much noticed of him when he was a bummer MrT, but always thought he was a hard worker/scrapper that lacked polish, so maybe he has the tools to be that type of player.

I thought maybe he's a bit small but I remembered that Libba became a very good tagger also.
If suppose if he can improve his endurance it might work.
Jacko doesn't really blanket a players effectiveness as much as I would like but he does get the footy himself which is good for him but not so great for the rest of the team most of the time.
I wouldn't mind a Crowley type for us and totally shut down any prime movers influence even if he doesn't get much of the footy himself but you'd expect Lonergan would atleast be able to win the hard ball where he can use his hands to great effect.
