[Chief Ten Beers]

Like Samson I blame his hair dresser. Never the same once he lost his golden locks.

Dale Thomas too.

Been a wonderful player when back at his best but, those days seem a long time ago now. Can expect to see a lot of VFL ahead of him if and when he is fit enough to play in this, his last season. Hope he goes out on a high.

Think that was for calves or something wasn't it?

Look, massive blow. As I suggested I think it's game over. But there's a faint hope since it's a thing injury he'll be back in the second half of the season. Unlikely, but who knows.

used calves blood on soft tissues (hamstrings) I think....

I think Reid is copping too hard a time from some posters in this thread.

A key position player who can play at both ends, with a beautiful kick doesn't grow on trees.

Yes he is extremely injury prone but I would prefer him in our team this season than not.

Ben Reid with a soft tissue injury? I’m shocked to be reading this!

 

[jmac70]

He’s not dead.

It's quite surprising that he still has soft tissue. You'd think that it would be all hard scars by now.

How dare you











Say the truth

He has put in so much effort, dedication, pain, all to get back.
It seems the road remains filled with broken glass.
And ofcourse he will always have the undoubted encouragement from the pedestrians to keep going son, keep going.

With the bad kicking team we are, I still would like to have Reid playing.

I’d argue that Moore and Dunn are both better field kicks than Reid now. His kicking from defence hasn’t been great for a few years now.

I don't disagree with Moore but have to disagree regarding Dunn.

 

[Apex36]

Really? He ran at 83% DE in 2017 and 79% in 2018, and he usually took the attacking option. I regard him as an elite long field kick.

Ben Reid intercept marking and clearing kicks out of the backline were one of my favourite Pies sights.
