Traded Liam Reidy, #53 & #71 traded to Carlton for #50 and #68

No doubt we should have got the perfect ruck at no cost for a developing ruck. Will replace Pitto as back up as he works on his game. HO, tackles and score involvements is very good.

TDK gave the marks - Reidy will give the hit outs.

Hence "worth the risk". (see above)

It's sad that everyone on here (including me a lot of the time) just assumes every oppo post is a troll.

Jeez we got bent over on that deal. Terrible result.

Word on the draft is there are 52 hall of famers then spuds the rest of the way. Reidy better be worth it.

He's a great WAFL player.

Too bad he plays AFL.

Bookmark it, will win Carltons B&F next year... in the vfl.....

 

[SSSSSS]

Did they think he was Harley Reid?

 

[fnerd]

Oops

Not quite the gotcha you think it is bud… it’s a piss take
my opinions on Reidy are well known - delisting him would’ve been a win AFAIC

Aiden Riddle is about 20 years old and not physically developed enough for AFL, the fourth ruck on Freos list.

He might be even further down the list. Freo has rucked Darcy, Jackson, Treacy, Voss ahead of Reidy and Riddle.

The issue with Reidy is his lack of follow up. He competes hard at the ruck contest, wins a lot of them, then goes missing when the ball moves to the next contest at his feet.

He is of the age now where his fitness should be getting to the point where he can apply those second and third efforts - so a club taking him on will be hopeful of that blossoming for them.

Personally, I have him in the Ent class ruck group.

looked good below his knees in the video…a project for tractor … wish him well.

At essentially no price at all, it's worth the risk. Always worth taking a gamble on a guy who has been stuck behind established ruckmen at another club.

That said, in 7 of his last 10 WAFL games he took two marks or fewer. That's pretty stinky.

Jackson was injured and we rushed back an underdone Darcy to play against Richmond. We had no faith in him.

Robbie Warnock?

He was your best ruck of the 21st century wasn't he

Scary thing is I remember Zack Clarke playing for Essendon after he left the dockers as a free agent.

He would be better than Warnock. I would even say Jono Griffin was better than Warnock too

I was thinking dockers got bent over lol

Not if we use pick 50 to land the next Walters or Lachie Neale. We could really hit gold if pick 68 gets pushed out to 69 too or comes in to 67 for my kids.

We have Reidy now. You won this trade.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Will be interesting pre-season scratch matches with Pitto v Reidy genuinely challenging each other for the #1 role. Its Pitto's to lose but if Reidy beats him in pre-season there is a hard decision to make come round 1.

Please please please let this guy go all Lloyd Meek for us.
