With his penetrating long runs and long kicking, is Ryan Lonie the next Dustin Fletcher?

Long Running Lonie

He'll be better.Don't forget that after 93 Fletcher was a bunny for 6 years until 2000.Now he's back to the bunny class.Back to Lonie,have you noticed that whenever the Hawthorn commentators(Dermie,Dunstall,Dipper,Salmon)mention Lonie how quick they are to mention he has a twin brother at Hawthorn.You reckon they're getting excited.Wouldn't it be funny if he turns out to be the dud one.

The next Dustin Fletcher?????
He's not the next anybody.
He's the present Ryan Lonie.
And that is very high praise.
Anyone who can claim to be the present Ryan Lonie must be a great footballer. We're talking about a guy who will win a string of Copeland Trophies. A guy who will win a Norm Smith Medal ... or two. He might even win a couple of Brownlows (but who cares about the Brownlow anyway). You're talking about an all-Australian player. A member of Collingwood's Team of the Century in 100 years time.
How the hell did Dustin Fletcher come into the equation?

After the draft the Hawthorn supporters all stated that they had recruited the better twin. How many games has Nathan played???
Alf thanks for supporting my statement. You see I compared him to Fletcher because Dustin became a great player in a great team. He won Essenscums B&F (Copeland) in a premiership year. He can play both ends. His attack with the ball leads to scoring.
That's why I believe they are comparable. WHEN Ryan wins the Copeland in our Premiership year we'll talk. O.K.
