Player Watch Reef McInnes

[Abdul_The_Bull]

He's just gotta compete in the air, spoil against these big blokes. Make them work for it. Wont always be perfect, but he'll have support.

He'll do that no worries. He's got a leap and knows how to get to the ball.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

He is only going to get better every game he plays. Just turned 22.

 

[gouki88]

He's growing. Still makes me a bit nervous when he has it in the back pocket and has to kick it (mainly in comparison to users like Houston, Daicos, Maynard, Howe, Quaynor etc.), but his physicality was impressive.

 

[Eric Shin]

I love this kid. I always have, and always will.

Hope he keeps doing what he's doing. The challenge will come this Friday, but if he and his teammates play their role, they'll be a flow on effect.

Hoping he has a good game on Friday. Needs as much confidence as possible heading into Curnow & McKay in round 4.

Big task but reckon he takes curnow coming back from injury
He has the pace, physicality and height to match.

Improved. Used his head well.

Agreed, but I'm glad the siren went when it did. WTF was that final play?

Long to Clamp Cripps and Reef keeping Curnow quiet. 2 unsung heroes shutting down the 2 guns from Lolton.

i would start Moore on Curnow, bring Frampton in to play on Mckay ( need that bigger body to be able to compete ) , would still have McInnes in the side to play on their 3rd tall will Howe as the interceptor.
Frampton only to come in to play on the gorilla forwards

Howe Frampton Quaynor
Maynard Moore McInnes

He does seem to be inching progressively forward every week. Was that Reef that laid the bonecruncher on the wing that won a free kick? Impressed.

If Long clamps Cripps and Pies win, I'll buy my son a #44 guernsey.

He must be a big kid.

My back pain agrees.

Watched the reply with my boys again yesterday and they were asking who #44 was. This prompted an unscheduled memorisation lesson of the teams players and their numbers. After breezing through the Fonzies such as Nick, Josh, Bobby, Dan, Pendles etc they needed a bit of help with the Potsys like Reef, Ned, Lachie etc. We’ll revisit this after next weeks game and hope some improvement is shown

Unless you are dropping a defender- we play 7 defenders.
You add Josh and Houston that’s 8

Yep, it was.

I'm content with Reef's progress. Good signs that he's executing his new role with growing confidence.

It's a shame our Richie left for Gold Coast last year. The show just hasn't been the same. I feel like it might have jumped the shark.

last time i checked it was 6-6-6
so thats how i had it lined up

I think that would be a quick way to wreck his confidence. He is not strong enough to match Curnow, and I don't think he can compete with his size (specifically the way he high-points the ball with his long arms and jump) and his forward craft.

What do you suggest? Howe on curnow? Who would reef play on?

His in the team to play the 2nd key defender role. If he cant play on Curnow or McKay there is no point picking him. We may as well find out if hes upto it against Naughton and McKay.

we basically learned nothing against Port, a real test will be against the dogs. They have Darcy and Naughton. im sure Moore will play on Darcy just because of his height, so that leaves Reef on Naughton. Be a good test for him, and Naughton usually plays well against us.

We'll set our grid with Moore and Howe in more central spots than Reef because they're more reliable in the air than Reef. Who is on who and when will depend as much on the way Carlton set up as us choosing the match ups.

The key to stopping curnow is nullifying the umpires whistle
