Need Work on his Set Shot for Goals

Nerves I reckon. Hopefully now he has his first on the board he’ll settle a bit. He presented really well in the first quarter though. Could very easily have 3 goals instead of 1.2. Really encouraged by his forward craft tonight so far.

1.2 and is showing more around the ground than Ollie Henry was doing. Not a slight on Henry, but Henry was often given a free pass for hitting the scoreboard. Reef has hit the scoreboard and the contest.

Those lightning leads and clean hands bode very well for the future. There are enough glimpses here for us to see we've got a real player in Reef

 

[domus]

Reef is a keeper. He looks so composed and comfortable out there.

 

[TradeDraft]

Showing IF he does not make it as a Mid he could be a Good General Forward

 

[windchimes]

He’s the real deal, he showed some real promise tonight. Glad he’s one of ours, patience should pay off dearly with him.

 

[grayza2018]

Excellent showing, presented beautifully and great to see him take those opportunities with the grabs, just need to work on the finishing now.

Crickey he 19 and played 4 games

Crickey he 19 and played 4 games

Also nailed the last one from 50 out

 

[Kirby]

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t make it. Has all the attributes.

 

[rand corp]

Another encouraging effort, his pace and size are very handy. We need to persist with him and move on from Wilson in my opinion.

 

[VinnieB]

Could easily be a fast leading full forward. Seems to know when to lead into space, when it's there.

 

[nahnah]

Intrigued by the Rusling comparisons as I had a massive hard on for that guy

 

[Soups]

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t make it. Has all the attributes.

He’ll captain the club one day imo.

 

[Jen2310]

Gonna be a player.

Rusling could have been anything but his shoulders let him down. He even done his shoulder on the end of year trip with the boys after he retired, lol

Nah Nick Daicos will have a mortgage on it 100.

Reef had very encouraging game and is the type who needs the games pumped into him at AFL level.

 

[Jen2310]

Just wait til he becomes that big bodied mid who can roll forward.

Just wait til he becomes that big bodied mid who can roll forward.

He will be Cripps like in a couple of years if he works hard in the gym. His tackle on Gardiner when he won the holding the ball decision was a sign of his power.

Everyone says Nick, I reckon Reef will pip him.

 

[jonbe54]

Everyone says Nick, I reckon Reef will pip him.

I remember the same sort of talk about Daic's Snr right at the start.

How did that work out?

 

[Kappa]

Outside of the obvious, looks the best of our kids now.

Get rid of Cameron/Cox and play a more mobile forward line like in 2018.

 

[loki04]

Everyone says Nick, I reckon Reef will pip him.

Nick is already displaying on field leadership, constantly talking to team mates re positioning, focusing on task and not giving up 50s calmed yay Adams a few times etc.
He commands a certain respect through effort and play bit like Selwood when he came into the cats as a teen he screamed captain.

 

[Apex36]

Everyone says Nick, I reckon Reef will pip him.

Curious as to your reasoning? His ridiculous talent aside, all reports have Nick as a natural leader, vocally directing his team mates etc, which is usually unheard of for a first year. Reef has an excellent head on his shoulders, and seems like he would be a good leader too, if his work ethic is as described by Fly, but it’s difficult to see him move past Nick on that front.
