....At NM, he'll walk in as the no.1 pick but there won't be that amount of pressure from our fanbase like it would at WC thank in part to Sheez and Wardlaw's stellar 1st year which is now at such a high bar that the Sheez has set for a 1st year player. Conversely, he'll walk into WC with the expectation of a whole club and a rebuild just starting.
The fanbase whipped up by The Worst Australian. I haven't seen that rag for weeks, but at one stage Harley Reid had just about taken over from Nic Natanui as the most covered person/event in that august publication. The Worst usually ran 3 or 4 pictures of NN daily, and was always good for a couple of Nat Fyfe snaps, unless he changed his hairdo in which case it was a full page article. Quality and quantity.

Reid would have unbelievable pressure to be the messiah at WC.

The strain on him as a direct consequence of the local media would be enough to earn him a compassionate pass to move back to a smaller club in the east, where media attention is limited to mindless personal attacks on the president and coach from the likes of cornhole, wilson and a bit of dribble from laughing boy over at footscray and the drainpipe.

Oh, and of course, the north fanboi and long time supporter damian barrett.

What ever happens with this Reid fiasco- we can’t win in the media’s eyes.
We either trade up and get Reid then get lambasted for paying ti much to the detriment of our list build
Or we miss out and called out that it will set us back years
 
No cover? Logue is only gone for half the yr and in his absence we have corr, biggie, pink, Dawson and comben assuming he is back... that's five to turn to six....

And would like to add a kpd like osull if we can get up to 7 or 8 as be gone before 10

When we have to reform the entire backline due to retirements there isn't a lot coming through the VFL.
More good defenders the better imo.

I think that the media concensus is that North doesn't deserve a player as good as Harley Reid. He ought not have to go to North, and even if the club manages to get pick one he ought to be allowed to go to a good well managed club like the WCE Eagles as they are not a basket case.

Yep...the second coming of Chris Judd l keep hearing!! Unfortunately for Harley, he's walking into the 2023 WC side and not that 2001 side.
I'm sure his mates would be telling him to go to North...at least you've played with or against all their U19 players plus whichever Vic Metro/Country boys we draft.

Funny thing about these well managed and rich club is at some point, the f'up!! Most of the time it's through shear arrogance and the 'we are too big to fail' that gets them but their time is coming, this isn't WC 2010 win the spoon and bounce back up.

But North just keeps on surviving, draws the ire of those who committed us to GC yet, in the worst period of performance since the AFL was establish, our membership grew and made a very good profit..basket case they say...they might want to focus on that mob in Moorabbin if they want to see a basket case.
 
The question to ask is, who currently has the best hand, and which would WCE prefer to hold? WCE with 1 + 23, or NMFC with 2 + 3 + 15 + 17 + 18

IMO, WCE would much prefer to have NMFC's hand and no Reid. So if that's true, then hold fat and take our better hand to the draft.
North clearly have the best hand. No doubt about that

Reid said when he arrived at Perth airport to vs WA is the first time he felt like he was somebody due to all the paparazzi and fans….the way he’s interviewed it sounds like he wants all the attention and thrives off it, he wants to play for Collingwood or Geelong in front of big crowds too

Well managed aha we wouldn’t be cellar dwellers if we were well managed! Think you are being a bit facetious
 
We almost traded pick 3 in trade week with PPs that got us 2, 5, 6 or something. The deal fell over but I don't think you can say we aren't open to 6 and 11.
There is no way in our current mould of our team we give up any selection to not net us two top 3 picks

Yeah you guys build him up and in 3 years you can trade him for two first rounders. It’ll be a couple of pick 15s when he picks a top 4 side - enjoy bread McKenzie and deer in headlights atley
Something to dream about
 
The ads kill my sessions on Apple, using Chrome and Safari (I did inform chief but I don't bother with apple stuff any more - an iPad at my place is pretty much just a $600 guitar tuner these days).
l have an android phone and Laptop and use Chrome however l do have Firefox so if it happens again l might try that..

Imagine after 3 years he wants to go home but to either the Pies or Cats...We would have dodged a bullet..:D
 
We aren’t getting pick one.. lets nip it in the bud.. WE ARE TAKING FIVE, THATS FIVE, 12345 FIVE, Fihvae FIRST ROUND PICKS IN THE DRAFT. 12345 ASK EDDIE MURPHY THATS, 5 picks in the first round. What a hand
And it doesnt necessarily mean we dont get Reid...especially if West Toast pick Mckersher or someone else..

Both north and eagles shouldn’t stop drafting best talent available if they think they won’t be able to retain them. If you look at our retention rate we lose very little players. JHF just was a cry baby you’ll need to take top end talent like Reid or for instance Curtin and back yourself to retain them
