Long managed just 44 in Collingwood's 4-point away loss to the Bulldogs at Docklands — 5 points below his 49 BE in a one-possession game where every disposal mattered. At $333.8k with a 63.5 average and 47 games of history, he is a known quantity: a chronic underperformer whose cash gen has been negative all season at -$3,192/wk. The R8 92 against Hawthorn was the outlier, not the signal. In the other seven rounds he has scored under 50 five times. At this price and with negative cash gen bleeding $3k+ weekly, he is actively costing coaches who hold him. Sell and redirect to a player with positive trajectory.
