Strategy What to do with pick 1 now we’ve got it - Do We Need Reid or is it Curtins

[Dylan82]

I've had enough of all of these kents already.

Nothing would satisfy me more right now than drafting H.Reid and watch him kick a bag against the tin-rattlers.


And anyone else wanting to entertain splitting the pick in this massively compromised draft needs to give themselves an uppercut as well.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

You overestimate the typical Victorian mindset when it comes to the competition.

To them, it still is the VFL.

Interstate clubs are viewed as little more than pathways to increase revenue and access players from outside of Victoria.


That the most-hyped Victorian talent in years is on the brink of being sent to an interstate side with an outstanding record of player retention, is beyond their level of tolerance for how things should operate.

And if all the clubs interstate, BC of our success, we r the one club Victorians hate the most.

Kane Cornes is South Australian . Salty that Eagles are more successful . The guy is click bait junkie like the West obviously freo bias and so many who are in the media for a living . Sport Media is a parasite industry in itself
living off the back of real sport contributers like players coaches and staff , and if you can highlight yourself as a critic you are the biggest parasite .I have no time for them . Why give them the oxygen to burn their own flame .

We take Reid
North take Curtin

In 2-3 years if they're homesick we just swap.

Or we keep Reid and bring Curtin back for a mid first rounder in 2-3 years

 

[squashface]

Yeah, I do that all the time on here.

It's why my like to post ratio is so good

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Only player I'd possibly consider taking over Reid is Jed Walter if he decided to snub Gold Coast and make himself available to all teams.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Reid, and then in two years if Curtin is looking the goods, we go hard to get him as well.

Club has to be ruthless.

Curtin strikes me as pretty loyal, he might be very hard to pry out once drafted.

 

[WCE_Phill]

Walter is a WCE fan right?

What if he told GC not to match the bid and Eagles select him woth 1

Now that would shake up the draft lol

Walter, OA and Maric

Forwards line set for next 10 years

Would the ball get to them though?

Reid would be perfect for us.

Can you imagine a midfield consisting of Reid, Ginbey, Hewett, with Longy, Culley etc rotating in?

Hearing it very strongly that Curtin has made it clear he doesn't want to move from Western Australia. Could be a rumour I'm making up, but hey I heard it somewhere.

My sources say that until Chicken Treat opens up in Victoria, he refuses to contemplate a move outside of W.A.

North are working with Red Rooster to come up with a compromise package

Has Oscar kicked any goals this season?

There's one in Sydney and more will be opened in NSW & ACT, so clearly he'd be open to joining Sydney and GWS should the opportunity arise.

Thought Dev Robertson played a good game last night. Very good.

Finally playing him on ball as an inside mid. Amazing how a player is better when played in their preferred position.

A bit better than the doubters on here have been alluding to.

Admittedly I didn't watch the game but going by the stats, I'm not blown away if that's some of the best he's got. 15 possies, 9 uncontested and 6 contested, 5 score involvements, 2 centre clearances. 6 tackles which is pretty good I suppose.

I still don't love him like a lot on here and think we can do better with a list spot.

Didn’t see the games but 13 possessions in 100 minutes as an inside mid is hardly something go crow about.

Its basically the sort of stats our wafl crew get and everyone wants them gone.

Upgrade on XON?

 

[ArdentEagle]

Upgrade on XON?

Probably but not by that much. I think we can do far better with that spot.

Hell, even Crouch would be a huge upgrade for inside mid but we'd need to play our other plodders in the WAFL

 

[Bacchus]

Upgrade on XON?

Wouldn’t have to be much to be an upgrade on XON.

Robertson is a reliable, hardworking, tough, blue collar type player.

No super star but he could do the dirty, grunt work to get the ball out to the runners.

Can definitely see a role for him. Could take some of the pressure off Kelly.

Sometimes you need to watch a game.There was a passage where a collingwood player was going to mark the ball.He was able to get his fingertips to the ball and it deflected to Charlie Cameron who kicked a goal.

Clearly not playing for the Brissie jumper too.

Thats why stats alone dont tell the full story.

A couple of centre bounces he went full bull mode and fended, bullocked his way through and with class dished off by hand to outside runners. Exactly the type of midfield play we are crying out for. And if he wasnt getting it he was doing the heavy lifting putting on pressure acts and chasing.

Robertson, Culley and Ginbey feeding it out to Kelly, Reid and Hewett.

And then to the wingers and flankers out wider.

Just need a #1 ruck to at least halve the contest or win it.
