Stats
Bio
Recruited from South Adelaide in the SANFL, Keith Long arrived at North Melbourne as a tall utility capable of playing key position roles at either end of the ground. Standing 187cm, he joined the club during a tumultuous era and was immediately thrown into the fray of the 1934 season, a year in which the team failed to register a single victory. Despite his physical presence and ability to drift forward and kick goals, Long's career is statistically notable for the club's collective on-field struggles, as he played 18 VFL matches across two seasons without enjoying a win, missing the side's solitary victory of 1935. He left the league following that season, holding a place in history as a determined contributor during the Shinboners' hardest yards.
