Dusty Ave about 20 touches and 3 tackles a game his first few seasons. About the same as Reid is now. Dusty played a bit more forward though so he was banging through goals pretty regularly.

Different players but give Reid a bit more time forward and he's not far off in terms of trajectory.

Agree that he just needs someone to sit him down and channel the FIGJAM attitude into his training, rather than leaving it all for the games.

You could see pretty early on that Dusty had some special traits. Reid looks fat, lazy and disinterested unless it's on his terms. For a kid who was hands down the best junior coming through in a decade he's been extraordinarily underwhelming. Needs his arse kicked into line by someone with a bit of authority. He needs a reality check and his head pulled in by someone with some clout. He probably thrives under some flog like Dangerfield to guide him. His ego would get swamped in his aura.

Hi all
Was having a clean up at home and found this jacket , its brand new still with tags , its from 2020 but has no sponsor badges so no one would know how old it is.
Hoping to find it a home for someone who maybe doing it a bit tough or you know someone in the same boat that would like it .
Its an XL Size so if your interested PM me and we can arrange a pick up point or time

Pies would be just about due for a loss, can't see it happening today though.

Maybe in their next match.

Perhaps we could get Ginny to mentor Harley.

Dees shocking going inside 50. Throwing goals away.

Went down to GMHBA stadium on saturday to celebrate my grandads 80th birthday he is a Geelong/GC supporter having lived up on the gold coast for 20 years.

Now my dislike for that club aside.
Its a great place to view footy from and they are rightly aggrieved to be only playing 7-8 games there a year.

Pickett doesn’t give the ball back to Windhager - no 50m penalty.

getting in Gawn's face at the end there.

 

[Mr Clunk]

If MCreery had a Dees jumper on and ran that far, guarantee free to the Pies

What a knob. Seriously.

What was the story there? Just saw that but hadn't been watching the match

 

[pebblesofsand]

Most ridiculous rule interpretation in the the AFL - insufficient intent to keep the ball in play - unless its near the scoring area where you can handball it kick it out of the field of play and apparently its all good.

Note to the AFL - just in case you don't realise -that white line between the posts defines the field of play.

Idiotic interpretation

Don’t think he was interested in May’s offer of an after work beer

 

[Plugger35]

The Pies were very lucky to get away with a win there with the help of the umpires and some bad kicking from Melbourne again.

I always thought the deliberate rushed behind penalty was a bit stupid.
You already gave away a point. No-one was ever going to go crazy giving away rush behinds , because over a course of a game you give away too many points.

If May was having a go at Gawn then that is really pathetic from him.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I hear you, but look at the score difference when they start doing that, Hawks got over them, but if it had been tighter, that behind could have been the decider.

 

[jwikked]

Best day of the year, will continue to be the best day of the year.

Now, we just need the two teams that make the GF to put on a good show. Sydney has really soured things the last few years.

Durham was lucky not to break Cerra's neck

Disgraceful

The optics were completely different aswell

Webster on the boundary leaving the ground and smashing Simpkin in the head
