Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Hope Reid sticks around until at least the end of 2028. I don’t think he’ll stay around forever to help the Eagles win a flag but if you look like you’re on an upward trajectory by 2026 then I think he’ll stick around and help out.

I hope he sticks around and plays over 200 for us and gets a Norm Smith and a Brownlow. Either way it’ll be a fun ride while it lasts. I can’t imagine a Judd type situation but who knows certainly their will be plenty of other clubs trying to get him.

Had three weeks in the sun so far; given where we were expected to be in terms of our rebuild this year, I've quite enjoyed them, thank you very much. Will enjoy the rise up the ladder in coming years as well.

how's that rise up the ladder going.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Single handedly has made a rabble and one of the worst teams in history, into a team capable of beating Melbourne and Fremantle

Without him we just lost to a winless side and kicked 2 goals to 3 qtr time

Kid is a genuine freak

 

[maskmcgee]

Refusing to sign a contract with the Eagles, he's on his way back to Victoria confirmed.

 

[DocSholl]

Shame we didn't get to watch Reid vs Wardlaw in the contest, that would have been fun

 

[SSSSSS]

There are very few players in the comp who has their reputation raised when they aren't playing.

Yesterday Reid's stocks rose dramatically in my eyes.

The Eagles looked every bit the 2023 rabble without him. They need to sign him on whatever the cost.

 

[Mudguts12]

I understand you’re mad after the game today. It’s ok

Meh. WCE have already exceeded my expectations this season.

Theyll be back stomping your lot of AFL golden boy flogs in no time .

If melbourne had the guts and had let petty or fats Oliver go last year ried could already be in Vic.

eagles smashed your hapless side

 

[danster168]

eagles smashed your hapless side

yep. and then you got ahead of yourself and lost by 100 and then lost to North.

Melbourne isn't going well. But I knew the hype over that weat coast win was way over the top and they're still a bottom 2 team. And that's only been justified with the 100 point belting to Adelaide and Melbourne's belting from Freo. so basically, I was right.

Yeah but we still destroyed your mob

And...you're going to be cellar dwellers for another 10 years. your best player is an 18 year old

 

[Shueygod]

We’ll be back in finals in a couple of years mate, your teams absolutely cooked.

Your best player is a drug addict

Are you obsessed with the eagles because of 2018?

lol our younger players are all better than yours so not sure how that works

lol at the irony of a west coast fan talking about drug culture. Have you been living under a rock mate?

They absolutely are not even close mate, you barely have young players.

Is it 2006?

 

[Cleansweep17]

He is going to be such a great player. WC supporters could be witnessing Dusty 2.0. I’m legit jealous.

Judd McVee is better than all of your young players excluding Reid. Windsor has shown more than Ginbey and Hewett. Van Rooyen hasn't had a good year but is still much better than Ryan Maric. Bowey is better than a Brady Hough. Trent Rivers is only 22 and is better than most of your list regardless of age and your youngsters include guys like Chesser, Bazzo, Clay hall are all unproven. I'll take a 23 year old Kozzie Pickett over a 19 year old Noah Long.

 

[Coolangatta]

He’ll be better if he stays injury free. Love Dusty but even the champ wasn’t this good into just 11 games. Though how you perform in big finals is what separates the all time greats from the superstars.

This is genuinely gold, put a poll up.

Windsor isn’t fit to tie Ginbey or Hewetts shoelaces for a start.

Brady Hough is having a huge year, at this point he’s one of the better small defenders in the comp.

Our youth is unproven but you’ve managed to name 6 blokes for Melbourne and two of them are 23 next month, the cupboard is very bare over there.

 

[JackOutback]

Two spots higher than last year, thanks for your interest.

In what world could you possibly say Hewett is better than Windsor? Windsor was a higher rated junior (taken #7), Hewett (#14). Hewett hasn't played this year but last year he had 13.4 touches, 0.3 goals. Not much else. Windsor averaged 13.7, 0.4 goals playing in a wing role that gets ignored.

If Brady Hough is one of the best small defenders, then what does that make McVee.

Well if you want me to name unproven guys I can name first round picks like Tholstrup and Jefferson but what's the point.

How is the cupboard bare if I just named a bunch of guys 23 and under. Oh, Blake Howes is looking okay. add him in.

If anyone's cupboard is bare it's yours. You've got Reid and that's it. Hewett looked semi decent. Ginbey is averaging 15.8 possessions playing a juicy inside mid role. He's not getting a game at 15 other clubs. So what other youngsters can you hang your hat on?

So Hewett and Windsor have very similar stats in their first years except Hewett had 15% less game time….

You named 6 guys 23 and under, you actually managed to name more eagles than you did Melbourne players

Ginbey would get a game in every team in the league you clown.

why did he have less game time? But he also, has a far more advanced physical frame and played a far juicier role.

how can you defend Ginger's horrible stat line? its indefensible to have those stats in the role he's been given. He's the mot ready made youngster for the last decade. He should be getting 20-23 touches a game minimum.
