His brother has had soft tissue injuries too. So the parents have a lot to answer for.

We have way to many players on our list that are continually injured. Reid, Wells, Elliot, Moore, Broomhead, Sharenberg etc etc. Been this same group for years. While its great the club stands by there players and its unfortunate for them but a club can only carry so many. Can add Beams to this list also. Why you would want to recruit players in there twilight years for big coin just blows me away.

It might well be. I expect to see him play again though, either at VFL or AFL level.

His dad was exactly the same mate. There's definitely something "genetic" in the Reid soft tissue issues.
Wills and Crocker. And if we are serious about improving Daicos. I want him to succeed as much as anyone but in a cut throat business I don’t see him making it.
I thought daicos was one of our better players last night but I agree with you about Croc and wills

Think its a tough call if its a season ending injury
31 next year, it may not be his decision, the club might go with a younger more durable player
Daics deserves another game but stats are very deceiving. Daics lacks pace and physical presence-something we were in desperate need of last night.
It’s the physical presence bit that worries me. I didn’t watch the game but I’ll be surprised if he could stick a tackle on someone like ziebel.
I thought his inside work was quite good but he does lack size and pace, as for physical presence i think all our midfielders lack physical presence thats why for the last 6 weeks teams have been sitting their players about a metre or so away from our mids at stoppages and then pressuring them when they get the ball and cause turnovers
His tackling is better than others in the side...Phillips, WHE. Let’s give him some time to develop before we right him off.

I reckon wills and Crocker will be playing somewhere else next year.

Finger crossed.
He plays and we’re better. But I reckon it’ll be vfl - if he can get there before the end of the season.

Reid should retire but wont until we get rid of him. Why would he? Getting paid decent coin to play 4-5 games a year, I would want in on that gravy train too.

I rarely spotted Daicos last night. He strikes me as an ordinary footballer with good foot skills.

Particularly worrying given the poor form Cox and Mihochek are currently displaying.

Given his history and how long it will take him to recover from this injury and find match fitness. It would be high folly to offer Reid a new contract at year's end.
But we need to move on a few each year to open up the list spots. Wells, Goldsack and Reid look like they are at the end. Varcoe and Dunn not far off either. For other reasons Wills, Crocker, Magden and Broomhead all vulnerable too.
On the plus side it does open up some cap space to retain big names coming out of contract and opens up list spots to target some on the outer talent from other clubs that can come in and perform a role.
If only we had a better hand at the 2019 draft table than a late 2nd rd pick.

Thanks for the memories Ben. Premiership hero but time to give it away. With young Kelly and Appleby round about we need to look to the future.
But we need to recruit a CHB this trade period

Cheap comment. It’s a bit more complicated than turning up 4 or 5 times during the year.
We have Moore
