Over at bigfooty we're hypothesizing that Ben Reid wants out to join his brother in Sydney next season and the club knows it.
It would be funny that after all the talk of Sam Reid possibly joining us the reverse happens.

A number of posters have made the observation in the last week or so that Reid is finished.
I am not prepared to go that far yet, but there were some disturbing signs last week. He is extremely slow and on numerous occasions he trailed Dixon to the ball by big margins. A lot of posters don't or won't recognise the trend in the modern games of playing medium sized mobile players as key position players and Reid currently is not very mobile.
These traits were evident before Reid was injured a month or so ago. So, for mine, it is one of two things, either the horrendous injuries that he has encountered in his career have caught up with him or his injuries have not allowed him to get fit enough for the intensity of AFL football.
For now I am going to with the benefit of the doubt that he is just not fit enough and after a couple in the 2's, he will back in the 1's and back to somewhere near his best. |

Only means a trade would need to be done.
A declining Reid for a unknown quantity in Allir Allir would do me if it had to be.

The only unknown for me is why Allir can't get a game at the moment. He showed some real talent and class last year. Injured? Attitude problems?

You know it was Gray who cut us up, not Dixon and if you want to claim that tall KPP's are being phased out of the game you shouldn't be claiming that Dixon cut us up because Dixon is a tall KPP, so there goes your theory.
Since you have played so much footy yourself you would have noticed Crisp playing off the half back line and it was the Port Adelaide smalls who were cutting us up and it was Crisp's job to cut off the supply. But let's not blame Crisp who keeps his job another another week. Let's blame our AA tall defender coming back from injury for the loss, because he's the one who got dropped. I wonder which scapegoat will be dropped from the side next week if we lose to Hawthorn? |

Has their selection committee shown attitude?

Thats fine. Yes, we want Sam Reid fairly desperately, but we're not talking about Wayne Carey here. If Ben wants to go to Sydney, then I'd be looking at draft picks rather than players. And not Kurt Tippet please.
Then try to turn the picks we have into a trade for maybe Gunston.
And lets face it, Ben will be 29 early next season and isnt the player he was back in 2011. So for me it's a win-win.
Either we get Sam in free agency, somewhat solving our KPF problem. Or we get a decent draft pick for Ben. A pick that can be used to on trade for a KPF.

Where did I post Dixon cut us up? All I said is Reid trailed him by big margins, no more, no less. |

Dropping Reid won't do any good for his trade value.
Looking like a trade value in the range of Cloke and Marley.
A decent draft pick.....tell them their dreaming!

Somewhat surprised that Mayne didnt get in.
But extremely happy to see Elliott back. (Also happy to see Varcs back in the VFL, but we need him in the AFL. Hoping to see him back in the seniors soon).
I'm a little shocked that Ramsay and Thomas got in.
Would have liked to see Brown keep going, but thats ok.
When looking at the 22, I dont think it's too bad, but some eyes will be on Langdon and Ramsay. Especially with the Berg and Reid in the 2s.
In a side note; I'd urge some people down to Vic Park for the VFL. The CHB Line is: 18. T. Varcoe, 20. B. Reid, 12. M. Scharenberg.
