[Old Stuckup]

Absolutely love Truck giving the kids a crack early. Under Woosh blokes like Reid would’ve had to wait at least 2 years before getting a gig.

 

[citizen-erased]

Pumped.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Oh-M-G

I didn’t expect this. Pumped. Hipwood surely?

 

[Mercurial89]

Wonder if he runs with hipwood

 

[JayJ20]

Good stuff! Happy with that

 

[doug85]

Can’t wait to see how he goes. Very important plank in the rebuild.

 

[ghostdog]

This is going to be super fun to watch!
I hope he tells Joey to stop swearing.

Carry a chair. Put it on the sideline. Mention to joey its comfier than a fence. Probably better for the groin

 

[Lore]

What's his marking like then..?

 

[carnthedons]

Love him. Great country boy, get around him

I really hope they call him Riley but I’m sure it’s something boring like Reidy

 

[Vander18]

Play him.

Yes he’s skinny but when you have this sort of height, length and athleticism you can make up for it. He s not ready for a Hawkins or Lynch but he could handle Hipwood. Playing seniors will be easier in some respects as the direction on field will be greater than in VFL and you’ll have guys like Ridley and Francis helping in the air.

For the first time in years we have drafted kids with very significant physical advantages. Perkins, Cox and Reid are thoroughbreds not Clydesdales, the less time they spend in the VFL the better in my opinion.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Didn’t expect that at all.
Very keen.

Zacka would get 350 games if whoosh was still in

 

[the PILL]

Magnificent...

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Who was he referring to with "Kyle"?

Great news for the lad.

 

[Seb78]

Love this

Only going to get better with games. Give the kid a taste of what's expected.

 

[DallasCrane316]

The energy from the boys seems really positive and enthusiastic at the moment. Great to see.

 

[Ati Tude]

Wow. Just wow. I haven't been this excited since all the way back when Perkins and Waterman debuted.
