I put nothing past Dodoro.

With there 3rd Top 10 Pick sounds like they could Trade to us or Bid on Reef

By this, its indicating, the rumours of a bid may not be all its cracked up to be..

Like a decoy, to someone else they really want. Port did this with the dogs back in 2018.

That also is Possible as Teams want other Teams to think the Opposite what they want to do

His fitness looks pretty sh*t, which will most likely keep him out most of 2021 as he builds an AFL standard engine.

Gee, I’m shocked that you should think his fitness looks pretty shit and that that would likely keep him out most of 2021.

Me, I think his fitness during the recent testing is more a reflection of the limited training during COVID and recovery from a back injury. No mention of any endurance issues in his 2019 write ups that I can recall so I can see no reason why that wouldn’t dramatically improve over the preseason and we’ll see him introduced to the senior side pretty early in the season. Most likely as a forward.

Glass half full (positive) v glass half empty (negative).

Time will tell.

May be a ploy from Dodoro to try and extract our first next year.

ie: we (Essendon) will bid on him at 9 unless you trade us 14 and your future first. Dons would then give us 9 and a future 2nd (Daicos points).

We get in at 9 before a bid and then if a bid comes after that we just use 16 to match. At least this way we get inside the top 10 before a bid & get a play on a quality tall. If we just used 14 to match a bid at 9 we would only get Reef and pick 16 (likely to be closer to 19). Getting 9 at least gives us a play at a Reid/Cox type.

Then be a Win Win for Both Teams then.

They get our Future 1st and We get ahead of a Reef Bid

Right... So if a kid has a poor test for endurance, and someone says "he likely won't play early because he tested poorly for endurance", that's a NEGATIVE take to you? Do you understand how stupid that is? That's just common ****ing sense, something you're seriously lacking.

It's not half full vs half empty, it's common sense vs stupidity trying to score an internet point.

Maybe you just can’t see how your writing can so easily be interpreted as negative. Take it as constructive criticism and a positive that someone has taken the time to try and improve your communication.

Or perhaps you're simply interpreting things in a way that suits your own agenda? :drunk::thumbsu:

Just stop typing for one second and think yourself "If a kid has a poor test result for his endurance, it is a negative opinion to assume he may currently have poor endurance?". For once in your life just think, please.

He’s not saying your opinion is negative, he’s saying you gravitate towards finding the negatives, which you do, every single time. It’s a very rare occasion that you post something to refute someone else’s negative stance. Almost all your posts are aimed at bringing down someone else’s positive views.

No, he literally is saying exactly that. He even said "vs your opinion (negative)" just a few posts ago.

LOL, you literally said shit fitness, likely won’t see him for the year. Then in a subsequent post you wrote the following

One way of saying it is an observation, the other is overly negative spin. You work out which is which.

Yes, it does seem likely that Reef won't play much, if at all, in 2021, mainly due to his current poor fitness. That is just basic common sense, you can argue that's "being negative" if you want, but it's an incredibly stupid argument.

I've been more positive than most in judging Reef's potential, but like always you don't like the facts getting in the way of a good story.

Jonathan Marsh was tall, fast and had plenty of room to develop in his draft year too.

Let’s go with that! I feel what’s most important is an ability to play football, an often forgotten trait. Marsh was quick and agile, but soft and couldnt kick...I’d take a footballer over an athlete any day of the week.

I don’t know much about Reef, but Hine will know what to do...i Have every faith that if he’s worth he’ll be with us next season.
 
Geez the need to generate content on Reef is way over the top.

“So Reef, you ran 20m very quickly. How did you do it?”

“Well I put the left foot forward then the right, then the left foot again then the right, then the left then the right, then the left then the right in pretty quick succession!”

Yeah, its not impossible, but in the top 10, you'll be going for best available I would imagine. Needs would come outside the top 10.

If you have Cox, Reid, Phillips, Reef, Perkins with potential bids on Jones/ Campbell...or even Thilthorpe if he gets to 6th You'd be going on exposed form in their roles and talent. I'm not sure essendon would be doing a bid.
You don't really draft for potential in the top 10, more what they have shown.

Reef also follows 22 of our current 35 players on insta plus the club and the pies aflw account. Yes, he is in the nga, but sounds like a kid who is invested in this club.

Logan McDonald follows pretty much everyone also. If only it counted for something 😂
