Injury Ben Reid Injured - announced 16th December, 4 - 6 weeks

[Leviathan Pie]

He missed out on getting drafted

.........That wasnt my question

 

[pinko77]

dosent look good for the new season didn't he go to Germany or somewhere to see a expert after last season??

 

[nahnah]

.........That wasnt my question

Your question wasn't really relevant. Both are injury prone, both are talented, both will be on the list for many more years

All the best Reidy.[/QUOTE]

A question to those who know more about fitness than me. If Reid's injury is 'only' 4-6 weeks (knowing our luck it could be 4-6 months), then will he have lost any gains made during preseason so far. What I'm essentially asking is would a 4-6 week injury in mid December put Reid back to square one fitness wise, or could he retain his level of fitness to a relatively good degree.

There is no square one for a footballer. They are already at a high standard, but obviously it makes it harder and harder the more you miss. 4-6weeks shouldn't be too detrimental but given his recent history its optimistic to assume he won't get another small injury setback soon after he recovers.

His Body is Stuffed.

I would not be surprised to see him on the Trade Table at end of the year with this keeps happening

He has no trade value. He could go to Carlton and replace the injured Waite. At least they were smart enough to get rid of him.

 

[shizzle]

No surprise, he's held together with sticky tape. We should have traded him the trade period just gone when he still had value, I mentioned that on here a few months back and got shot down in flames...

 

[BEEG]

So is it official is Ben Reid injury prone yet?

The dickhead that didn't switch Tarrant on to Hawkins cost us that game. We had a fit second tall, they had pods out for the game. It was a mistake by the coaches not to change the match ups. Reid could have been on the bench.

Reid and Brown will never be traded from Collingwood, the suggestions on here every year are incredibly stupid and always end up being wrong.

To say Reid and Brown will NEVER be traded is a crock. Cameron is the guy we should gone for. Tarrant was traded out. Brown would want to have a good year to keep to on the list. Reid is almost no trade value to anyone now. Names like scott gumbleton come to mind now. Talent is there but the body isn't.

Ok keep suggesting it like the last 5 years. Idc either way. What makes you so sure GWS would have traded Cameron he's a top 3 talent in the AFL..

Well Bucks said we would up the loads again and some would break.

Great approach, better deliver a flag soon or piss him off.

Reid was still on restricted training, blaming Bucks for this is just wrong

 

[jmac70]

He's had soft tissues injuries for more than 1 year. 1 year!!!! Its time he went. If freeman was still having Hamstring troubles Id be saying the same thing. Ried is finshed now. His legs are cooked.

You want to delist him now?

 

[Baltimore Jack]

I'm afraid without Reid, out top-4 aspirations are over. Former All Australian, now I'd say his career in one step away from done. He's still young too. Imagine what it'll be like when he's 30! Sad to hear.

Really? Just 1 player cost us all that.

Waite is 32. Despite this a top 4 side just drafted him.

Sadly, perspective is something the younger generation don't have.

Reid injured in 10 GF.
Injured and cost us 11 GF.
Injured for parts of 13
Injured all of 14.
Injured in 15.
He's cooked.

 

[Good_Old]

Imagine if we de-listed/traded him and he had an AA year somewhere else.

"How could Buckley let this happen, sack him now!"

 

[BEEG]

No he's flying.

Just thought I would ask the question few people on this board got angry when that suggestion came up with the rumours from last week.

I hadn't seen you here much lately... Cue the bad news story and your rolling around like a pig in sh!t.

 

[Pera]

this could be Matthew Egan 2.0...

No chance. Stress fractures of the foot compared to soft tissue injuries.

I know which one will live longer.....

 

[half_back_flank]

Waite is 32. Despite this a top 4 side just drafted him.

And Carlton still offered him a contract.


Trading away Reid at the end of last year would have been idiotic, he had never been worth less after missing the entire 2014. Buy high and sell low, the TG philosophy.

 

[Black_White]

Cut him loose.
Walker mk2.

We lose as he did have currency a couple of years ago and theSwans wanted him.
Poor list management.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Because any news regarding contributing towards winning a flag is generally negative.

We get angry when players don't show loyalty to the club yet people are advocating that the club doesn't show any loyalty to the players. Even if he does continue to have injury problems I will be more than happy for the club to stick by him.
I have no problems with de-listing players based on performance, but I would hate to support a club whose motto is "if you get injured whilst in our employment we will turn our back on you and piss you off for whatever we can get for you"
