If Reid plays forward for 2015 we won't make the 8 either. Our defence isn't a top 8 defence.What if he plays them all, as a forward?
Plus our midfield also got smashed this year.
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.
Imagine if we de-listed/traded him and he had an AA year somewhere else.
"How could Buckley let this happen, sack him now!"
And Geelong had a lot of soft tissue injuries before they won a lot of premierships.
I will say it words that you can understand.
If Reid didn't get injured we win the 2011 premiership.
What part are yo not getting?
Really. Thing is, he's an All Australian, who with Cloke could have been a killer combination. And he's not replaceable. You could take out a couple of midfielders and still have some replacements. But key forwards? Nope. With Reid, I think we might have edged into top-4, now we're fighting for the 8, in my opinion.
Given the last few years, it's a bit more than that, isn't it? Seen in context, I'm pretty worried.
OMFG... seriously!
If Greening hadn't been king hit behind the play in 1972, we win the 2011 premiership...
If Millane hadn't had that car accident, we win the 2011 premiership...
If Lee Walker's knee's weren't stuffed, we win the 2011 premiership...
If Tom Davidson's knee's weren't stuffed, we win the 2011 premiership...
If Danny Roach hadn't got a back injury, we win the 2011 premiership...
If Sean Rusling's shoulders weren't stuffed, we win the 2011 premiership...
All equally ridiculous and unprovable hypothetical crap...
I'm assuming that's what you're trying to say, feel free to clarify, maybe smaller words...
Mine still makes allot more sense.
The only truth is that none of them can be tested, just baseless theories.
Most theories are baseless, but at least mine makes sense and I have taken the effort to back it up. You've just typed up a bunch of crap.
For a theory to be accepted it has to be proven.
Really? That was not the tone I got from your message...."I will say it in words you can understand"
A little condescending don't you think?
My original comment was this isn't the first time a injury to Reid has cost. Weather you want believe that a fully fit Reid would have got us over the line or not it certainly would have improved our chances in 2011.
My condescending tone came from your nit picking "Reid's injury is not a conscious life form capable of independent thought."
