List Mgmt. Welcome Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023 National Draft)

[stallon]

I hate to say it, the media might be somewhat right. Thought that we'd prove today that we can play without harley and barrass but we were clearly missing something in the midfield and when the ball repeatedly entered their f50 barrass' presence was sorely missed.

We were also missing his energy, the way he goes around the field giving it to the oppo and the energy he brings around the boys.

Yes we missed his energy, but I think you are discounting the effect Witts had on the game. Witts won that midfield battle almost on his own, Reid cant stop that

Eagles worse without one of their best mids isn't a revelation.

The noise around him is just media doing what they love: a cursory, surface level amount of research.

Love Harley, he looks a jet, but the Suns have had a 40 and a 50 point win at home prior to that, are unbeaten at the venue and have an engine room of top tier picks. We'll be fine.

Good litmus test for which media members to pay attention to are the ones who point out that it was Witts, not their mids or the lack of Harley, that dictated the game today.

I think Yeo showed that he's the driving force, Reid is complimentary.

The problem was nobody else stood up. The loss wasn't because we didn't have Reid, we just lost to the better team realistically.

Didn't generate enough shots on goal to win.

Harley is definitely a big part of what we do, especially since putting him more in the mid field.

Even with Harley we are a poor score from turnover team.

Take Harley or Yeo out of our team and we also lose our ability to score from stoppage.

Today shows that our midfield is extremely thin.

In spite of that, I liked the fight we showed, and thought we did ok.

Did HR watch the game? Where did he watch? who with? What snacks?

Its all been very quiet

Perfect time to rest him, Essendon then Collingwood coming up.

We desperately needed him yesterday, which is bit worrying to think we are depending so much on a first year player.
No wonder Reid needed a break from carrying the team on his shoulders.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I'm looking forward to seeing him along side Longe, Ginby, Marick, Hewitt and Chessar in the years ahead.

If this dude miraculously spelled Hewett right here it would have served as a massive FU to the rest of this board

We rely on HR more than we did Judd

Yeah we had Cuz & Kerr back then.
We need guys like Hewett and Ginbey to help him out.

Already our greatest Eagle.

Already our greatest Eagle.

Only the greatest Eagle?

Already up there with Ablett Jr and Leigh Matthews.

 

[The Gtrain]

Nike? I’m sure he’s signed with Puma. Doubt he’d have both.

Clothing sponsor and boot sponsor perhaps.

 

[InTheWings]

Eagles resting Harley is learning from pushing Ginbey too far last year. Don't want a repeat soft tissue injury half way through the season.

 

[InTheWings]

Harley's jumper taking off - and he didn't even play in the game! For reference, the next highest bid so far is for Jake's at $900. Yeo is $775.

That it where our midfield is at in term of quality midfielders, Last year was just Kelly

This Year, particularly in the previous couple of games it is Kelly, Yeo and Reid. To be a top team need a couple more.

Past player - Cale Morton (2013)

They encourage me to do it so that the eagles board has a bit of say in list management. Good thing you traded your first pick for next year ;)
