News is we are after Billy Longer in a big way. He would want to improve on what i have seen of him as the last time i did, young Soldo had the better of him. He has aggression which is at least a start......

Yeah watched in VC's last game I think,Very raw and theres a lot of weight to come off that frame before you could take him seriously.

"Richmond effectively dropped out of the 2016 finals race with its loss to Port Adelaide on the weekend and has moved straight into list management mode, cranking up its efforts to get young St Kilda ruckman Billy Longer in to take over from the aging Ivan Maric and unreliable Shaun Hampson.

Longer is yet to play a senior game with the Saints this season and is keen to get to Punt Road, but so far the Tigers have been unable to come up with a reasonable trade.

St Kilda is believed to be asking for Reece Conca in a straight swap, with a view to then including the West Australian in a package for Andrew Gaff, but Richmond sees the 23-year old redhead as an important part of its future."

Long term upgrade on Hamspud and would swap him for Conca in a heartbeat.

He can't even get a game for the Saints, why is that an upgrade??

Conca, yes would trade, but I would see what Feo and the Eagles can offer.

I remember thinking he'd be a real beauty once his body developed for AFL.
The concussion issues are the main worry,good tap ruck but he doesn't really do much other around the ground.
Strange thing is he has the skills just doesn't seem to get the pill much.

Sydney Swans' depth of rucking options has aroused opposition interest in out-of-contract ruckman Toby Nankervis.

Several clubs are understood to be monitoring the 21-year-old, who was pick No.35 in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft as they scour the country for quality ruckmen to add to their list.

I'd take Longer in a heartbeat. Especially if it was for a straight swap for Conca.

Hickey has kept Longer out of the side this year but Hickey is probably the most improved ruckman in the league this year too. He is a very good ruckman now and being kept out of the side by a very good player is just part of footy.

I also thought Longer was pretty good last year when he was their number 1 ruckman.
