This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone:

I've upgraded my hopes for Reid this year.
Although absolutely nothing turns on it I would love if Reid's stats were similar to Cousins and Judd in their third year.
In 1998 Cousins averaged 21.3 disposals and 0.9 goals a game. In 2004 Judd won the Brownlow averaging 21.8 disposals and 1.0 goal...
Actually saw Treacy and Reid talking last September at the Bendigo B&F (Treacy was the guest speaker).
A great deal of respect between those two as ex-Pioneers.
I suppose this is the Judd comparison, where not all stats are equal.
Because if you looked purely at the stats you'd say that Marc Pittonet, Tom Mitchell or Tanner Bruhn all had similar disposal counts and 7 clearances each. Heck Tristan Xerri had 10 clearances in his game. But a free kick from...
If you watch his second goal (from the free kick at quarter time), you'll see Cripps goes directly to Harley and pulls him off the ground and is speaking to him for about 20 seconds before Harley is at the end of his mark. He continues yelling at him (presumably advice) and is the first there to...
McDonald will cost us our first round pick this year (be it pick 2-6). Sydney will not be accepting a trade for pick 10 or lower.
Whether we are prepared to pay our first rounder is another question.

As much as I vehemently disagree with the premise of the Dusty thread at least he has the runs on the board.
He mentioned in pre-draft interviews that he wanted to come up with a celebration that was fairly unique (at least for an AFL player).
Suffice to say he's given it some thought.
Thought Oskar Smartt was the best player out there today.
Ollie Poole, Tarkyn O'Leary, Kobe Shipp, Geordie Payne, Dayton Uerata and Tobyn Murray all had good games as well.
Could legitimately be on 5 Brownlow Votes at this point (3 votes tonight and 2 votes last week).
Won't win the award but 18+ votes for a first year player would be insane (if possible).
