Welcome Welcome to Freo Murphy Reid - pick 17 of the 2024 Draft

[dexter_]

someone on reddit put together a highlight package of his game on the weekend

 

[Minz]

When Voss handed the ball to Reid at the end he already took off celebrating

He knew it was in good hands


I guarantee the behind goals vision is gonna get a run (and laugh from the boys) at the end of the team meeting for that, would love to see where he ends up, he was steaming off

It was truly beautiful to watch Voss celebrating. Here’s the aspiring key forward steaming into goal to kick the sealer in a tight one… passes it off to his junior teammate and celebrates as hard as if he’d kicked it himself. Gotta love the bloke!

That 2v 1 happened just below us. Was more excited by that than the goal almost! Just knew what it meant to lock it up deep in our 50. Super impressive kid

He did the same when Sharp kicked his goal. Celebrating his team mates

Voss wears it on his sleeve.
Love this guy for the energy he brings.
Essendon will rue the day they dropped this lad from their list.

 

[Bastyy]

I couldn't really believe it on draft night but it is sort of a miracle that every club was stupid enough to let Reid to fall to Pick 17. Should have gone top 5, never should have fallen out of the top 10

I’m right over that bit of the ground on the third level but that’s the exact spot that I can’t quite see over the stands from my seat, and they vanished from view… all I had to rely on was the crowd noise. But I felt confident because Murphy F-ing Reid.

Annnd Ashcroft gets the nod as rising star.

 

[s_wd6]

That’s 3/4 rounds where he could’ve been nominated

 

[mike91]

Murphy Reid fully understanding what being a Freo player is like. Getting ignored week in, week out.

 

[freo84]

So body of work only applies to Vic kids then? He's been the best performer of any draftee this season.

 

[LongSerong]

What a joke

Wtf more does the kid have to do to get nominated?

**** you AFL. Campaigners.

Second* favourite for the medal, so clearly the public have noticed. Pity those fart sniffers at AFL house haven't watched any Freo vision this season.

Edit - technically 4th favourite but on the second line of betting.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

He was clearly the best eligible player this week. Obviously they just count total touches or look at Fantasy points or whatever.

Murph is gonna have to live with being a low touch maximum impact player which might affect awards seasons picked by idiots reading stats off a screen.

But, he’s a winning player.

By a mile.
You'd have to go back to Rowell to find any player that has looked so AFL ready in their first few games.
It's just getting to meme levels of absurdity now that he hasn't been nominated. It's been an astonishing month of footy

Getting 25 disposals and a goal in a game where your midfield is dominant shouldn't be worthy of a nomination.

 

[MadMundy]

Eh, it's just the Rising Star, as long as Bruce continues playing well I couldn't give less of a shit about a pointless award, some good players have won it, but so has Rhys Palmer.

 

[Randomizor]

He’ll get the nod at some point. It’s a long season.

 

[Taylor]

Andrew Brayshaw won a league MVP award, Club B&F and All Australian before he was nominated for a Rising Star.

He was Round 1 & Round 3 & Round 4. Just pipped in Rd 2. He will be leading the voting.

It's also affirmation that the people making these decisions don't watch our games. Probably too busy schmoozing with Vic clubs and government officials on a Sunday night.

So?

 

[Eski3]

When Reid cracks 20 touches he will get the nom. Ashcroft and Lalor were the pre-ordained picks that just had to get 20 touches to lock in nominations, regardless of result or context. As soon as Ashcroft got 22 and a goal there was nothing Reid could do this week unfortunately

I think F&S and Academy had a lot to do with that.
Greed over what the AFL give them against class and footballers.
