You mean the same family reasons that just got worse because he couldnt get traded?

And Menzel? I presume he's going well too, yes? Just further strengthens the case that Reid is a woefully inadequate list manager.
Havent gone too well overall with him at the helm, have you?

First trade period for him and he didnt pay the ridiculous price being asked for a 28 year old. Good job in my opinion.

If nothing else, now we know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

I doubt we would try again next year. He will be 29 at the start of the 2018 season.
That ship sailed yesterday.
It will get interesting the first time he doesnt put in next year.

It will be interesting to see the crows fall way short next year due to having a poor midfield

ed is a great player who is in a side with a game plan that suits him perfectly. it will only annoy me if the crows win a flag with both ed and sauce in the side however with the way u guys go about trading i doubt that will happen.

seriously find another cliche, the "family reasons" have been way overstated to suit the crow narrative. if it was so bad gibba would not be be going overseas with his carlton mates, lozza wooudnt be attending the brownlow/presentation night and his old man ross would be heaping lavish praise on the club.
u better hope the afl doesnt change the trading rules as part of the new collective bargaining agreement and allow clubs to trade player without their consent. if they do then gibba may end up back at crow land but playing against u!
16 wins this year with a few close losses. We will be okay.
Going forward , player managers would be very dubious about committing their players to AFC after Reid's amateurish performance here .
He hung Gibbs out to dry and I'd also wager Tex Walker wouldn't be too pleased with him after shaking Gibbs hand and giving his word that the deal would be done .
Can't believe this shit thread is still going.
Can't mods shut it down?
Oh, and suffer in ya jocks, suck a fat one, winners are grinners etc etc crows fans
You must not be grinning to much then....
Well when a guy has been in the system for 10 years and never even been All Australian once, chances are the deal is gonna full through if you put that kinda price on his head
you mean like how we were meant to drop out of the 8 this year with no Dangerfield? Is that what you mean?
wow, did you even think about how that sounds when you wrote it... A player we didn't want is your leading goal kicker. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

He lost me when he said wright is worth a second rounder
With a full list of 40 to choose from all year. Doubt that happens again.
Knight, menzel and hampton pretty much injured for most of the year. They will be pushing for spots in the 22. We will be fine

I think it highlights Reid's inability to get value. One man's trash, etc, etc. Rather than offering him up for a trade and bringing in a pick or player into you club, Reid discarded him meaning you got zip in return.
Opportunity lost. That about sums up Reid's dealings as a list manager, doesnt it? I mean, he also failed to extract value for Lyons as well. I see a common theme occurring here...
