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.

Very glad they didn't take our offer for Reid, our players are a much classier bunch and not that full of themselves.

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.
