Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Long.
Judged on this season alone, Long graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 25 centre-forwards in the A-League, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 17 appearances (0.433 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 20th of 25 of the 25 centre-forwards in the A-League. At 31 Long is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4 goals in 17 appearances (0.24 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 9.3, Long carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the A-League of 25, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Brisbane Roar finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 31, Long sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Long's projected Rating — 9.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
