Prediction Reid (poll added)

[BEEG]

Need to just throw him in and say how he goes

 

[spartan-magpie]

Karnezis AKA treacle isn't the answer. He defensive pressure is less than fasolos

Don't need defensive pressure. Need someone who can crumb, take a mark, hit a target and kick goals.

 

[Scodog10]

That is a fair question and one that I have no real answer for. My belief is that it is to do with Cloke's injury which may be lengthy.

That was my assumption as well. Whereas my hope was to move away from the dual rucks. The season may be over finals wise, however we can still get something out of it if a 3 of Reid/ White/ Moore/ Cloke forward line works in the final 6 weeks of the season.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

I don't understand why you'd risk him now after our season is over?

May as well wrap him in cotton wool until 2016 where he MIGHT actually have an impact.

Tried that last year, still broke down in the pre season, nothing lost in giving me a game now... Not that I think the club will

He'll pull his hammy getting into his car on the morning of the game.

Why not play Reid?

 

[Kappa]

Why not play Reid?

The more games he plays the higher chance he does another soft tissue injury, which decreases the chance his body will hold up in 2016

Maybe a few months off will help his body... because clearly playing footy isn't !

Surely that also applies to VFL games. We have nothing to lose now.

Yes it also applies to VFL games, either his body is completely fine and he plays AFL now or the club acknowledges his body is stuffed and gives him a few months off to try and sort things out properly.

I don't like him playing VFL week after week

 

[TheWoodsOf72]

Ried.... the never ending story. Has consumed too much focus and resources. I think it is time for some hard decisions.

 

[mike123]

What's the point?

Raise his trade value

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

If he can play twos, I don't see why we wouldn't play him. Just as likely to get injured in the VFL as the AFL.

I'd probably not have him playing at any level for the rest of the year however. Give his body genuine rest.

This is what I don't get. He's made of glass. Playing him in the VFL isn't going to make him less fragile.

 

[anshell]

Why not?We haven't really got anything to lose,although if it was up to me,i'd give him one more game in the reserves.

 

[CFC2010]

Why now? The time to be decisive was a month ago and the season's run and won now...

Desperate times mean desperate measures Scodog.

The conservative approach hasn't worked so WTF just play him......100th game next week!

He might marry someone and spawn a boy who is soft tissue genetically gifted

Can't just keep wrapping the bloke in cotton wool, we tried that last year and he broke down again as soon as he lifted his intensity in the preseason.
If he is playing vfl he might as well play afl, as he offers us nothing the the vfl

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Did he play a full game in the 2's today or did he sit out the last quarter?

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

This is what I don't get. He's made of glass. Playing him in the VFL isn't going to make him less fragile.

Correct. The only thing I guess you could say was that they would be worried about his match fitness, but if just played forward he'd probably get by.

 

[Pendles!]

Good to hear, just play the bastard!

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

They have rebuilt him, unleash him on the G':

 

[Pie eyed]

Heard that Reid will be seriously considered for the Dees. Club are prepared now to take the risk.

Trade?

 

[10571z]

Lol who said this crap

 

[Number 10]

Great, we can **** off Goldsack.

Who told you that?

Someone with a connection to the club.
