I can see the Bombers using our traded pick with their own, to target Harley Reid.

They will make a play for him for sure. Whether Harley accepts it or not is another thing all together. It does help that he is good mates with Caddy.

WC are just [censored] (thankfully for us) that they didnt take our offer years ago. They would have gotten 2-3 gun players. Reid at this stage is very much looking like a bust and nowhere near capable of reaching the ceiling that he was reportedly capable of.

No way butters comes to us

This is the thing - we’re looking like the anti destination club

Would you want to come to us and train all the way out at Casey albeit the facilities are OK. Need a home closer to the city then we may get some players wanting to come but that is many years away if at all.

On the Agenda Setters tonight Caro first said that H Reid’s parents didn’t want him to go to St Kilda or Melbourne, and then a little later in the segment she said his parents didn’t want him to go to St Kilda or North Melbourne.

So I’m not sure if she meant us or North?

Would rather Max Gruzewski from the giants. I don’t want a swing man I want a specialist forward that will lead, launch at the ball, bang some bodies and kick straight.

Gruzewski is only listed at 192 he works next to cadman and hogan or even one of them and the irishman brown but him JVR and MJ have an average height of 193 thats just not gonna cut it in 2025. Look at who is dominating the next decade, Kings, Darcy, Cadman, Thilthorpe, Jamarra the shortest of them is 195 and the tallest is 200+. and then you have guys like Lobb, SDK, Zach Reid, Wil Dawson who are all huge too at the other end of the field, our guys just dont have the reach or leap like a Jack Riewoldt or Aaron Naughton has to actually get up and over a pack, JVR just jumps into them at best, doesnt get his hands above and MJ only marks them on his chest on his own (and even then he drops them)

Did anyone here the SEN clip on sunday night post game Finey i think it was basically said we had Max Heath the saints ruck who debuted two weeks ago on the hook done deal. Makes sense he'd want out given TDKs arrival, Dodsons VFL form and Boyd/Marshall on the list too.

I havent seen enough to have an opinion on him other than a 204cm guy at 22yo is good depth and has upside as a low cost option. Could mean the end for Verrall who at 199 doesnt really mark heaps of footy around the ground, doesnt really kick goals resting forward and also for TC who has had real body issues this year at 34yo as good a clubman as he is

new name to throw into the mix, i like what luke nankervis has done in limited opportunities at the crows, has been playing forward recently in the sanfl to try and get him back in the ones but his work at HB and on the wing has been fairly decent in my opinion... haven't actually gone to the stats yet

crom supporting friend said one of the big changes for them this year has been the likes of nankervis are NOT in their best side

he doesn't work hard enough defensively
