Defender breaks Club record

I love this on so many levels.

The club knows how to celebrate every little milestone and Reef is committed to improving on the things that he still has control over.

He is staying motivated throughout the long course of his recovery, and the club will have a stronger defender in '26.

This is why the Pies are numero uno; it is not by accident.

Cute, that's my warm-up weight. :$




























Relax, it's a joke.



























My warm-up weight is 140.

Same here.









Until someone told me that the bar is meant to move up and away from the bracket, rather than just staying in the same spot.

I also hope he doesn't lose his speed which is an asset

This used to be a massive concern, but realistically, it doesn't tend to happen anymore. Modern sports medicine is leaps and bounds ahead of the time when a speedy winger would have to reinvent themselves as a dour back pocket because a knee injury robbed them off their pace.

Look at Bailey Smith - Fresh off an ACL and still running away from people. Will Ashcroft doesn't look like it's cost him anything either.
 
You love to see it!

The final piece of the puzzzle would be if he’s put as much work into his touch fundamentals as it seems he’s put into his weights program because if he can clunk them on return he’s a chance to take Frampton’s spot in 2026.

Chris Tarrant 3.0.

Remember Reef, in Chris' words, you have to work on the triceps, not the biceps, to get the gorilla arms.

Think Taz had kicked 50 goals in a season by the time he was Reef's age
 
his stats don't tell how decent his start to the year was playing third tall off a limited sample size and probably were reduced stats due to the early ACL injury against Bulldogs 0.3 intercept marks , 3.3 spoils , 1.0 tackles 5.7 kicks and 2.3 handballs

I think they reflect adequately that he played one ok game and one shaky one (alongside most of the team)

Reef is going to be a very good athlete - that's never been in doubt. If he can read it in the air well enough to come over the top and kill balls he'll make it as a KPD - that's the doubt - and it's a big one. Might be more suited to a Maynard style role, but so is half our VFL team.

Absolutely. Difficult also because Maynard is so good at that role, and will be around for years.

I was not as impressed with his two games this year compared to others. His disposal in the back half worried me, and I think our current mix is better. I think Dean played better games last year than Reef did this year.
