About Doug Long
- Doug Long (28 March 1940 - 9 February 2009) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). A ruckman from South Gambier, Long spent five seasons with Geelong and participated in their 1961 Night Premiership win.
- He moved to South Australia in 1962, having been appointed captain-coach of Glenelg, despite only turning 22 at the start of the season.
- After steering the club to fifth position that year, Glenelg fell to seventh in 1963 and he was replaced by Len Fitzgerald.
- He continued to give Glenelg good service as a player and was often used at full-back when Neil Kerley was coach later in the decade.
- A seven time South Australian interstate representative, Long was inducted into Glenelg's 'Hall of Fame' in 2006.
