All I’m saying is don’t get your hopes up…

Reflecting on Liam Reidy's illustrious 3 game Freo career, I do remember that the one time he was named for a game this year, Luke Jackson had such an existential crisis (about his place in both the team and in Perth) that he almost put in a trade request, so getting him off the books is a massive win imo
 
Id trade our first pick.Seriously. I think Rogers is an absolute gun and has hurt factor with ball in hand. He played a lot as a sub last year. so his stats don't do him justice. He is in my opinion the classiest player not playing regular AFL currently. Here is an example of what Im talking about.


Rogers reminds me a bit of where Dean Laidely was at years ago with WC. He is severely restricted by not being able to play his ideal role of on ball wing due to who he competes against to get a game. Eg Laidely competing against Worsfold and Mckenna.


The main restriction is not who he is competing with, it's his tiny size. He really is a midfielder more than a small forward, and you have to be crazy good to make it as an AFL midfielder at his size.

He has yet to really show any indications of being a good small forward at AFL or VFL level. That's not to say he couldn't be good, but he's not being groomed there in the VFL (1 goal in 7 games in 2025, all listed as starting wing/hb) and as such is an unknown quantity.

More likely he would be a smaller version of Switta than a gun goal kicker. Which might still be useful considering Switta's injury history and importance to the side.

But I doubt we can sell him on more opportunity, as I wouldn't have him in our best 23 at full strength. He'd be competing with Dudley to fill an injury vacancy.
 
I'm really excited for the highlights package Carlton put out for Reidy.

Goal kicking ruck, loves to tackle, great skills.

Can also get front and square and rove the ball.

I am pretty sure they have everyone of Reidy's goals in the WAFL in the highlights.

Are they talking about the same player?

The picks in the 50s are decent enough to actually be used by someone on draft night so it's about as good as we could've expected.

Hopefully a similar trade happens for Brodie (Port only a couple of spots up in the third round). It probably won't change anything in terms of what player we draft but it's still useful compared to a single draft pick in the 4th/5th round we won't use.

haha - you need to watch the video. What a start we lost.
 
People on social media reacting as expected:

"Next Meek"

"We got screwed"

"Should have kept Reidy and traded Darcy"


I genuinely don't understand these people's thought process.

A section of our fan base is absolutely delighted when we do anything, as it presents an opportunity for them to do their favourite thing in the world, hating Freo

I genuinely don't know where these people came up with the idea Reidy is a Meek type in waiting, when he's shown nothing close to what Meek did in his short time here.

I mean the Meek/Darcy opinion is valid, if we had got a haul for Darcy and let meek run as 1st ruck who knows what we could have turned that into
Meek, sure, there's some validity to it, but anyone who thinks Reidy should be kept over Darcy has rocks in their head.

They don’t think, or watch peel apparently. Just go by stats and what others say.
Pretty much this, why do you think they all rate Brodie so highly? They read the stats and don't watch him play. If they did they'd see we're losing nothing by trading both of them.

It's only valid for people who dont watch Peel, which, to be fair, is most.

Anyone who watched Meek and Reidy at Peel knows the difference. 3 games at AFL probably isnt enough for the average supporter to realise how far off AFL Reidy is.
