How did yesterday’s “performance” affect his value to a team?   Admittedly only saw snippets but not very impressed

    This story is playing out similarly to the Horne-Francis tenure at North.  

    Ultimately Port still had to pay the fortune for JHF. All clubs can and do look past what is going on with him Reid this very moment. 

    Both will be superstars.

    Port got JHF for an absolute bargain.

    I think similar to North knocking back Adelaide's pre-draft offer for pick 1 West Coast will regret knocking our offer back for Reid.

    It was essentially 2 x first rounders + the equivalent of a 2nd rounder (multiple early 3rd rounders).

    Wrapped up in a much bigger deal.

    Probably about what he was worth.

    They got JHF and Willie Rioli for picks 9 and 20 and some late junk picks.

    It was a massive steal.

    I have no idea how people post videos/photos/gifs to this site (the data-size allowance is ridiculously small). But I’d like to post a three second clip of Reid’s antics yesterday. Any suggestions welcome.

    Time this thread got a bump as trade speculation on the Harley continues. 

    The only way this clearly happens is if we trade some of our WA talent. Now i dont want to throw names from our end, but suspect there will be a few that wouldn't mind be trading back to their home state. 

    WCE in hindsight would be kicking themselves that they didn't take our offer in 2023. They will never get the same value as the offer we put forward. 

    Bombers in the drivers seat atm...it would be awful if that came to fruition. 

    I agree on the offer.  3 first rounders would have been a better deal to rebuild their side.  Though there reports is that he came back overweight and his efforts on Sunday wont get him a bit contract at this stage.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
