Opinion Who presently unfit would you want in our side

[domin8tors]

So just though whilst we wait a week until we smash GWS. as a Hypercritical if assumed 100% fit and at their best form that has been exposed who and ONLY one would you think most impacts the side during the reminder of the finals.

my initial thinking was the obvious Reid at Full back his best form in his AA year would be a huge plus.
but then i think with our Midfield / Half forward rotations a fully fit Silky Daniel Wells is exciting. I mean with the class of pendles / Sidebottom and Wells delivering the ball inside 50 we won't need to defend because the ball will never come back out lol.

so Wells get's the nod for me with a close second to Reid.

Dunn and elliott

Moore, and I'd play him forward for the rest of the year pinch hitting in the ruck replacing Cox who's been ordinary for a couple of months.

Looking at what our side needs right now I'd say a fit Reid at his best would make all the difference.

Fit and at his best are two separate issues. If fit he would be considered to come in. If also at his best then he would be one of the first picked.

Elliott

In AA form, he would be an immediate need

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Dunn

Exactly!

Reid is the best swingman since Teddy Whitten.

Not even my children disappoint me as much as Reid's enduring absence.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I went for Wells because he could thread the ball through the eye of a needle and pinpoint our smaller forwards with his passes, perhaps minimising the need for a tall forward. However, a fit Moore might be equally useful given his swinging ability. A truly fit Elliott could be in a class of his own up forward, particularly the drop off in form and productivity of DeGoey, WHE, Stephenson and Thomas. Thomas was the best of this group last night, but was considered largely 'invisible' by a number of posters. So it is a difficult decision. An injury free Reid would also be very useful.

Couldn't agree more.

I believe that a lack of fitness is what has held Reid back from approaching his best. He hasn't forgotten how to play nor is he over the hill; injuries have prevented him from getting match-fitness or the elusive "touch".

He could be like a new recruit for us next year, even if this is something we've been hoping for since 2016 .

I voted Other.
Even though Bux looks fit enough to take the field.

 

[jmac70]

Moore by a country mile. If we can get him in we might just win the whole thing.

 

[Captivating]

I presumed you meant a fit 2018 Reid, not AA version.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Elliot in for Mayne
Wells in for Aish
Probably prefer Mihocek to Reid now
Dunn in for Greenwood

 

[BringouttheGimp]

I would go for a player not on the list.

Scharenberg.

Poise efficiency class and courage.

Miss him.

No as i didn't want fit / form to blur the lines it's assumed that the players are fit and at their " best " peak form which for mine is why i would say Reid over Moore. Reid is AA. Moore has not proven anything yet

 

[Ingy]

Elliott

 

[JB1975]

I like more, am bullish about what he can bring in the future, but I'm rather less convinced that his appearance this year would improve our chances in such a dramatic way. Why do you see him as such an immediate game-changer?

 

[ottoman]

Maybe OP needs to give a bit more info.
Are we just assuming fit or are we talking fit and in form.
I'm assuming fit and in form in which case I chose Wells. An in form Wells would just make the whole team that much better.

I agree that Wells is pure velvet Otto but given our needs for key position talent and using your criteria of fit and in form, it's hard to go past Reid. If he was in last night we would have won.

I think he’s on another level.

Yeah it's a hard list to choose from.
Was watching some games from 2010 - 2011 during the week.
God I would love to have "that" Reid up and about.
Was a gun.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

It's not hard you dickhead

We need an All-Australian, Premiership Hero, Swingman who can quell A-list forwards!

Sadly, whilst Ben has the heart of a lion his other muscles are made of plasticine
