Anthony Long (born 6 January 1991) is an Australian rules footballer for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Long was selected by Essendon with the thirty-third pick in the 2009 AFL Draft. He was recruited from Calder Cannons after moving to Melbourne from Darwin where he played for St Mary's in the NTFL. Nephew of Essendon great Michael Long, Anthony grew up supporting the club and was very happy to be drafted by them after nominating for the draft instead of signing with the Gold Coast which he was able to do thanks to his Northern Territory background.[1]
