AFL Player #31: Zach Reid

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 5, Happyskeret

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Not expected to pick both Reid and Cox! Makes me wonder how we feel about Brand and Eyre?
Are we just building the spine first?

 

[Runk]

Hooker and Hurley replaced

Yup, pressure is on.

Reid and Ridley, what a combo name. Sounds like a classic pairing.

I think what I like most about these pick ups are their very plain surnames. Destiny awaits.

 

[ghostdog]

I like this pick. The Cox selection gives us so many options now. Reid back. If BZT comes through, Cox forward or wing.

Brand and Eyre make things very interesting now too.

Cox to play on the Wing early doors

Welcome Zachary

Such a shame because with a few more years development he could have been as good as Peter Burbekov.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

A shock but that's the tall's sorted.

Sheedy is back.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Develop the talls, bring in the mids later, this is a long term rebuild and they're doing it right.

Ridley Reid, expecting good performances.

 

[blitzer]

I'm glad because i was sick of everyone sooking every time Francis or Hurley had to play on a taller forward.
Also he's a seriously exciting prospect at 202 cm with his elite kicking. The real test will be can he intercept and get enough of the ball.

 

[11kgm]

Brandy Reid Cox 3 talls who can kick

Goodbye BZT

 

[11kgm]

Heppell seems pissed

 

[Megabattimus]

Out of the three, Reid was definitely the one I didn't want beforehand. Like I really wanted another mid at our last first rounder.

Oh well, hopefully Reid can prove me wrong and become an absolute jet.

 

[eth-dog]

May well start forward in the VFL next year for me

 

[naraku]

I'm surprised but not disappointed we picked Zach. I really thought we would of opted for Bruhn or even tried McInnes here.

Hopefully Zach helps sure up a kpp for the next decade or more.

BZT look out mate

When we traded for Smith and Stringer I thought to myself - Josh Green has played his last game for the club.

I have the same feeling right now about BZT.

This pick reflects the need to replenish the KPD stock but also that there never really seemed to be another available player who commanded this selection, not when Reid was always in the range and a style player who was ultimately needed.

I would be careful about the Harris Andrews

comparison. It's Andrew athleticism that brought him into a game. It's not clear to me Reid quite has Andrews' athletic gifts but I doubt it ends up being that important and Reid is not a lumberer by any stretch (in the way Carlisle and Hooker are).

A defence needs at least one monster to control the air at half back and to play on the Danihers, McKays and Kings of the world.

I think it was the right call in the end.

I reckon he projects as a rich man's Lachie Keefe, who was also 202cm and an underrated one oon one defender.

He is the rich mans version because he offers far more in rebounding ability with his kicking skills.
