Senior 25. Liam Reidy

[Sin City]

Great deal for the club, has a high ceiling for me.

Yeah, he would need one

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

We're going to use him as the doorman.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Welcome to the greatest club in the land

Hope you’re Reidy to take the #1 ruck spot!

 

[circusdevil]

Downgrade's.

Plus pick 9

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

Welcome mate!
Make yourself better.
Make the football club better.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Please be good at taking defensive contested marks and plugging the hole

Please be good at inflicting pain on the oppo Ruckmen...in particular those that play for St Kilda

 

[Michael Jezz]

Cheap & a good piece of business

I have heard from multiple Freo fans that he is a slow, lumbering type that offers little beyond hitouts. Which sounds like Pitto MKII.

However, he's still young-ish for a ruck and could have improvement left in him. He finished the year with improving #s in the WAFL, which is a good sign. For a ruck, he's not bad up forward too.

Solid, cheap ruck backup. I like that we targeted a club with two established rucks, so Reidy basically cost nothing in draft capital.

I don't see him as a #1 AFL ruck, but fingers crossed he's serviceable when called upon.

 

[Dominator_7]

Nice ruck depth at worst, but could be anything under a decent development program.

 

[T2B_]

Well he's one of ours now.

Welcome Liam.

I'm with ya Ferris. Apparently dominated in the WAFL, so he'll also be very handy for the VFL side to assist in the development of our youngsters.

Welcome on board Liam!!!

 

[ESKIE]

Liam will be on trade radio shortly FYI

 

[DirtyLeeds]

He certainly looks more mobile than Pitto, has a lovely long left foot on him too, welcome big fella, hoping for a Meek-like evolution....

 

[Jimmae]

Good trade, expecting him to supplant Pittonet within 18 months, but really expecting O'Keeffe to be the number 1 ruck in 2026, not the same song and dance we had with TDK.

 

[The Dochs in]

Effectively free and as many have said will be depth. Wouldn’t think anyone would have any issues with this at all

 

[agro]

Fremantle board does not seem to rate him at all, so I'm saying no.

But with the ruck rule changes Pitto's inability to jump might render him redundant.

I don’t think Reidy’s got much spring either.

 

[lukep_86]

A backup ruckman for 2 x 3-pick downgrades, we could definitely do a lot worse.

 

[Robertio]

Looks ok to me.

This is Big Footy, just wait and there will be someone

 

[agro]

Lot of great WAFL highlights there.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Peak Luke Jackson going on those highlights

 

[tarczonandjane]

I vote Robbie Warnock to hand him his jumper!

 

[Bletch]

Wish they'd tell us length of contract. Guess 2 years?

 

[passmark]

Hope he’s violent.

Brutish rucks make everyone walk taller.

 

[ESKIE]

Well, he sounded like a very grounded young man so all the best Reidy
