If it wasn't for his injury think he could have been one of those 100 game soldiers who was integral to a good side.

 

[Run and carry]

My judgment will always be reserved as to whether this guy would have made it given the setbacks. I recall hazily that he led the league in defensive intercepts for half a year one season. Clever player.

 

[quotemokc]

If only we could put his brain into Reimers body.

Cheers Nick.
Playing every game you were fit for in your 1st season for a team that should have played finals is a fair effort.

I reckon almost anyone else's brain into Reimers' body would work wonders.

 

[Vander18]

Too bad a few of our better players do not have this blokes attitude to team footy. Gave it his all and then some. Certainly got much more out
of himself than most.

This.

Played with passion and commitment every time he set foot on the field in red and black. That gets respect from me above all else.

Bloody oath, can't complain about a bloke who gives everything. Good luck to him

Will never forget the chase down on the wing that lead to a Hep goal in the last quarter against the Eagles at Subi in 2013..
The world was against us and he was a massive contributor to the spirit that the boys played with that year..

A brain would have been a start.

popular view, but easy to say for someone who never had a chance to follow through. Look man you have more than precedence but he did not make it happen. Hears what I hope for, he gets a chance at another club and makes a career. I really hope what I've seen so far transfers into what I pray he can do!

No club is going to pick up a 26 year old who has played 22 games in 4 seasons.




All the best ,

It has been a long time coming, what a herculean effort by Kommer to play AFL footy, let alone just get drafted. Bloke worked tirelessy year upon year to reach the heights he did. If it wasn't for injuries, I do agree with some that he would've been one of those players who got games off defensiver pressure and effort. Which is okay, most successful teams have 1 of them

A 100 game soldier is Ben Howlett. I don't think he was ever going to reach that level.

True. But if you consider how medicore the club has been in the last 10 years, you can see why.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Thanks for giving it your best shot Kommer.
It was great to see you come back from a serious injury and having your last game at Essendon being a win over Carlton at the MCG in rd23.

 

[daffo]

Sad to see him go but it was the right choice by the club.

 

[EnolaGay]

All the best Chameleon, you have my respect for your efforts for the red and black!

 

[Coldacre]

sad to see him go. loved his offensive pressure and tackling in the 2013 season. cheers Nick!
