Long returned 66 in Collingwood's 54-point flogging by Geelong at the MCG — technically above his 54 BE by 12, but Collingwood conceded 122. A 66 in the context of a 54-point blowout loss is garbage time output, not a real performance. His season average is 48 against a 54 BE, meaning he's been underwater for most of the year. Cash gen is negative at -$2,250 per round. The R8 92 in the draw was the outlier, not the signal. Sell — chronic underperformer at $366k, exit before the price drops further.
