You could very well be right but our club has never had the benefit of having an instant star other than Heeney & Mills more recently. We've been the best club at teaching players. Foote might just be a waste of time. Let's watch him develop though. Too early to write anyone off.
Just what i saw. Reads the play poorly, not a great build, average kick
Sometimes you can just see if a kid has it
I give Reid crap for underperforming but he has great talent and skills, to me a guy like foote is just a list clogger, like a spriggs or daniel okeefe
I think Reid's talent and skills are crap. People see different things.

If we lose Franklin and bring Xavier Richards back onto the senior list then we have "replaced Franklin" by that logic. The fact he isn't fit to scrub Franklin's boots seems irrelevant
Reid's problem is his fitness and mental state lets him down. He's a confidence player, and always fresh out it seems.
He has the attributes, thats why he is so frustrating
But that's like saying Zac Dawson's a good defender because he does about one good spoil a game. Even I have had some elite-level moments in my teenage football years but that didn't change the fact I was a soggy potato on the field.
Not so sure about that. Foote is more inside and around the contest than a wing type. Rarely played much time forward in NEAFL. Made team of the year doing that.He has. But Foote will replace Heeney's position on the wing for example.
Heeney will replace Mitchell in the guts.
Just because Foote comes in the team, doesn't mean he automatically gets the role Mitchell had.
Foote will play in our team like all youngsters start.

Have you seen him play? Terrific work rate and decent skills. He may or may not make best 22 but sure ain't rubbish.Just dont think he has the skills to make it

Reid's pack marking is also overrated on here
Seem to have a few kirks on the list which is promising
No its not
Reid has the physical build to play
Has great hands, can read the play can kick well, good pace
But he often does not go for marks, shanks kicks etc
Dawson just cant play
You're kidding aren't you, great hands for what? Modelling? He is one of the worst attempters of a mark I've seen in my life and that includes all back yard footy matches around Australia on boxing day after a few beers.
I think his use of his abilities has been abysmal
But when he is on a rare on day he can clunk them
He is just one of the biggest under performers of all time
He's got about 6 years left in his career to settle on a label from "highly talented sublime skills" to a "never had talent just got lucky on a few occasions".
My money is on the latter.

Peak at 34? Only need him on our list for 9 more years to get some dividends!the next jarrad waite
Sounds like he's taken Jack Hiscox's place - who won last year's time trial.http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/sy...l/news-story/d429566fa2758d80cbb65e006072a59d
My prediction about this bloke has started off in a positive way. He is putting his hand up saying he wants to play in Tommy's place.
