Toast Reidy

[CasuallyDressed]

One of my favorite players and the first of my man crushes.

It's great to see him back and great to see him getting through the game with 4 goals.

I still think he's a better defender than a forward but our forward line looks heaps better with him down there.

Great to see him back

 

[JB1975]

At this rate we might have to swing him back into defence...

 

[HFF]

Couldn't have asked for anything more.
4 goal return in first senior game in 357 days.
Particularly in such a small win.

 

[Shaneprice97]

He was awesome, we need another quality KPP, depending if the player is a forward or backman, that decides where reid plays.

Carlise would be perfect, as would Dixon.

 

[Wooljay]

Great contested marking, shots for goal, and disposal was also nigh immaculate.

Do people still want to trade him?

If you analyse his performances up forward hes actually a gun when he plays there. Extrapolate the last 10-12 games he has played and he'd be All Australian. The only problem is that he has taken three years to rack those 10-12 games up so everybody focusses on his injuries, not on the success ha has had when he has played forwrad.

Just needs a clean run at it. Leave him at the pointy end.

I just think he's our best defender by a long margin.

It's a shame White is so god awful because having Reid down back over Frost would be fantastic.

Reidy is an awesome defender, now the heater is gone probably our best. The guy just has a problem where he keeps kicking goals though so it looks like the forward line is where he stays

Hes probably our best defender too, Or at least our most creative....agree with that. But he cant play at both ends and I think he will be even more valuable forward. To be blunt, hes too good to be a backman.

Marsh in time can take over from Frost or Brown

It was fitting he kicked our first. Great to see everyone get around him too.

In all honesty, barring injuries and following his upwards trajectory there was a strong chance he would have been our best forward by now as well. Good to have him back

Well done Ben, not dominant by any means but just serves to remind what a quality player he is.

Absolutely.

 

[SpongePie]

Fantastic return! Good on ya Reidy!

 

[Vicky Park]

Ben Reid is simply a quality footballer.

 

[DinoSoar]

He looked terrific, taking marks and what a beautiful left foot he has!!! A great game, 4 beautiful goals

 

[TradeDraft]

Forward line works better with 2 KPF

 

[ppoiter]

My calf cramped badly on the couch today out of nowhere. I think the demon haunting his calf has moved onto me because its still quite sore

 

[Pie eyed]

Great to see Reid get through a game.
I hope he's back for good now.

Was rapt for Reidy. I noticed we improved our PDAs too with Elliott giving major congrats to Fas after a goal.

While we're still not in great form little things like that can help turn it around.

In the case of Reid I think the players where rapt for him too, seems much loved.

 

[partypie]

It's his size and strength in the air that I was most impressed with (he looked *big* in the post game interview) - he obviously hasn't been sitting idle while he's been dealing with these soft tissue injuries and the Ben Reid we're getting now isn't the long, loose, gangly Ben Reid we saw in his AA year.

If that's the case then I'd strongly recommend keeping the **** away from training and games from now on - do your bit (and take one) for the team son!
