Biggest bust potential IMHO. He'll get monstered in the big time.His ability to impact games whilst not being just a pure 100% midfielder has been impressive.
And that’s the thing I’ve hated most about him. He isn’t a pure mid.

Comparisons with Hunter on visuales only but Hunts was always a tough unit with exquisite phone box work to cover his detriments.
Reid has great vision, I'll give him that. But the package isn't right.

Season's over. Not much else to do..Should you be checking out his package?
My No1 issue is his disposal under pressure. All too often it's a dinky loopy little handball that gets you slaughtered in AFL. His kicking suffers similarly. So not suitable for grunt work and too slow for outside, not special overhead or at ground level. Where do you play him?A mate who watched him on the weekend says he is an absolute competitive animal.
They tried to get someone to be physical with him and he was telling the bloke how much he loved shit like that.
Was proper giving lip back to the oppo and getting physical.
Mate reckons you could take him at any pick in the top 10 and that club would probably be happy.
(Sounds nothing like Billings which I guess is where both our concerns are deep rooted)
We shouldnt forget this kid when considering options for our earlier picks. His speed out of contests against men in a WAFL Final is note worthy...
7 year of my life I've wasted in this joint and l haven't met the kent yet.Careful, the “good judge of talent” man will come for you for this
I hate his backward handballs under no pressure, those are the ones that really put me off. Then as you said, the hospital loop handballs. His kicking is pretty vanilla too, haven’t seen him hit any exceptional kicks that make me consider him an above average kickMy No1 issue is his disposal under pressure.

He's an Alpha Romeo.
Effing HigginsDoes anyone still remember we won the last game. Culture.
I think he kicks superbly to targets, giving them space to move, but the worry is that’s much harder to do in the AFL with the lack space anywhere. You really need to kick darts.I hate his backward handballs under no pressure, those are the ones that really put me off. Then as you said, the hospital loop handballs.

He will 100% start his career at half back. Question is whether he’ll be stuck there for the rest of his career
Jagga does the same type of kicks and most peoples wrists sound like cement makers after watching his games/Highlights.I think he kicks superbly to targets, giving them space to move, but the worry is that’s much harder to do in the AFL with the lack space anywhere. You really need to kick darts.
Everyone considers Hunter Clark a good kick, but we all know that Nas is on another level. Thats kind of the difference with Reid, good kick but not exceptionalI think he kicks superbly to targets, giving them space to move, but the worry is that’s much harder to do in the AFL with the lack space anywhere.

We have had quite a few good grandson's play for us including now. Unfortunately there is no rule for us to gain them at beow market value.So I'm guessing the grandfather-son rule is coming for 2027?
Thing with Jagga is his positioning is so elite and he creates space for himself with his crazy agility. Also a natural leader - future captain. Agree his kicking is average but these natural stoppage freaks are quite rare it seemsJagga does the same type of kicks and most peoples wrists sound like cement makers after watching his games/Highlights.

Pretty disingenuous about Reid with this. You don’t star at national level and average 27 & 1 at Coates league if you don’t have elite positioning. There is some genuine rose coloured glasses if people can’t see his non physical traits and abilities stack up.Thing with Jagga is his positioning is so elite and he creates space for himself with his crazy agility.

My issue with Reid is as simple as this and I’ve been going on about it for months.My No1 issue is his disposal under pressure. All too often it's a dinky loopy little handball that gets you slaughtered in AFL. His kicking suffers similarly. So not suitable for grunt work and too slow for outside, not special overhead or at ground level. Where do you play him?

And yes, this is coming from the bloke who hasn’t wanted Reid all the way through. Who shares a number of concerns to that of other posters about him. But I don’t see any of the strengths you have listed above for Jagga as things Reid isn’t good at.
Jagga has shown that he js a very good coal face mid. That’s the difference between the two right now. If Reid had shown that, it’s likely he is very much in the frame or ahead of a competitor for pick 1.

FOS is better than Jagga.Smith is the next best after Aschroft, but Jagga deserves to be No 1 pick given Levi is a FS. Reid is not at the same level but people are being realistic with who might be available at our pick/s. He is not perfect and will have work to do but most kids do when they get to a club.
It might be all for zip if a club like Melbourne are keen on Reid. If he is gone there will be plenty of other kids to chose from, people will just have to accept that they might be completely different than our individual choices.
Dalrymple thinks outside the box which is why the club targetted him.
