On Footy Classified tonight reporting Reid is massively upset at the story and they are back tracking like mad.

Old mate McClure is going to be issuing an apology rather soon I'm thinking

Probably didn't come from Reid himself. Maybe he's pissed?

 

[bzparkes]

Would be hilarious if Reid himself actually wants to go to WCE and it turns out it's all just made up by the Vic media.

Let's face it, his only other option is North...

Took a lawsuit from Collective Minds to get him to do that last time.

 

[new breed]

North play most of their games at Marvel stadium , rarely at the MCG so staying at home drafted to NM won't get him far either .

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Surely the only real concern for getting Curtin is if Sydney keep their first rounder?

I guess Melbourne would also be interested as either a replacement for May, or as a partner to Van Rooyen.

The broad 'assumption' is that Hawks go for Watson.

Who knows what North will do (well, you apparently do..).

If we end up with Sydney's first rounder, Freo finish above Sydney and North don't get pick 3 for McKay, you can pretty much put a Reid/Curtin combo in the bank, I reckon.

Hawks have gone Ward and McKenzie in past few drafts with their firsts.

Add Weddle, Macdonald, Butler and Hustwaite. None are true Key position, Weddle has ability to play 3rd tall.
Curtin would be right in their thinking...

I’ve had it put to me on very good authority from multiple people that I trust, that Curtin has essentially told interstate clubs that he doesn’t want to be drafted there.

 

[squashface]

McClure probably made it up (the grub that he is) but that doesn’t matter in this industry.

He’ll just say “my sources must have been misinformed, sorry!” and then he moves on to the next bullshit click bait story.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Hahaha

 

[Hillsy13]

McClure said Reid’s preference is to say in vic but they didn’t tell us not to draft him. He’s probably just spun it for clicks and if Harley is actually open to coming to west coast you gotta feel for him. Poor kids probably opened his phone to a whole bunch of bs all over social media, would be understandably pissed. Maybe all the vic media narrative for him to stay will actually backfire and he will want to prove them wrong now?

I have no issue with what he said, I just wonder where the talk is coming from.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

When we beat North and one of Freo/Adelaide and miss the spoon this'll all seem pretty silly.

 

[Godfather32]

Clarified again to me today that a lot would have to change for North not to take McKercher.

Even if they have pick 1?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Me either but I reckon Harley Reid does

 

[bzparkes]

I wonder about this.

A contested bull like Reid probably isn't exactly what the Roos need. A pure midfielder in McKercher might appeal to them more, because they already have good contested players + they picked up Wardlaw last year. What they need is a big accumulator with class, who can hit the scoreboard. Would also complement Sheezel.

Can definitely see the appeal for them and it might even be the smarter decision, long term.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

What the ****? He ruptured his Achilles? He’s done if so. Won’t play again

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Ill do a Shoey if Logan kicks 78 goals next season

We don’t want you out 3-4 weeks with soft tissue injuries!

 

[ep2018]

Pointsbet offering $11 for North to win the spoon ('least games won' with ties sorted by lesser percentage) get on.

 

[ep2018]

Hahaha

North board is melting over this, loooooooooooool

 

[Godfather32]

What the *? He ruptured his Achilles? He’s done if so. Won’t play again

Wait wtf....how has the club not said anything about a ruptured achilles?

Actually, why the f**k am I surprised they didn't tell us....

 

[pantskyle]

That probably falls under the category of a lot would have to change.

 

[plays tall 1]

“There's a belief within other clubs that maybe there's a preference not to be taken by West Coast".
One of the great minds is Sam McClure.

 

[Convocation]

I would say that Tom is weighing up the prospect.

On one hand, the next two years will be tough and not much fun. When we are next likely to be in the finals, he is likely to well gone. Having said that, he is a possible candidate to be captain and that brings added $ and he has extended family in Perth and young kids. i do not recall seeing him as a marketing face so doubt whether he will be missing and marketing $$ staying.

On the other hand, Sydney is a great place to live provided you don't have to commute to the CBD. Swans are a very good club and their window is open with a good young list that is ready to go. He would be able to sent a decent place on his salary - even at Sydney prices.

If he wants to go, we have Gov and HEdwards capable of filling the KPD roles for the next 2 years. Forget Rotham - he is not a KPD. Bazzo is looking like a future CHB playing on the second tall and we hear Jamieson is ready to transition and we can always look at Barnett as a KPD.

Besides, while Simpson has his defenders guarding grass, it is likely to be a s**t show down back until we get a new defensive structure.

In addition to the above, TB’s sister lives in Sydney as well.
