Player Watch Reef McInnes

[TradeDraft]

Come on Dave, lighten up mate. Most of us are in dire need of a laugh right now. A little humour never hurt anyone.

Might for some but Not for me

 

[unplugged]

Apparently Reef can't take a joke. We ought to leave him behind.

 

[Harry O]

He is hoping to get picked up by Essendon

REEF MCINNES – OAKLEIGH CHARGERS

192cm, 84kg

Inside midfielder/forward/defender

Reef McInnes is one of the most versatile players in the pool, filling gaps all over the ground for Oakleigh last season. Collingwood have priority access to this exciting talent as a member of its Next Generation Academy, and he is very familiar with the Holden Centre.

Arguably his best form came an inside midfielder in 2019, averaging 26.7 disposals, five clearances and 137.6 SuperCoach points across a three-game stretch late in the season.

McInnes was slated to fulfil this role in 2020 and the Chargers were bullish about what he could have produced.

The Indigenous prospect has a ferocious attack on the ball both on the ground and aerially, showing his worth as a lockdown defender and in the forward arc as well.

One of the youngest 2020 draft eligible players, McInnes finished the season with a stress fracture in his back, related to his growth, meaning he has scope be even taller than his 192 centimetre stature.

Both McInnes and Macrae loom as mid-late first round fancies.

Chargers talent manager Jy Bond says: “I love the way he attacks the contest. I think he might have played with a stress fracture in his back last year – the kid’s tough.”

I heard Reef has other interests in life and has withdrawn his draft nomination

I'll spare the dramatics if you can find a way to be a bit more civil towards me. I was not attacking Dave, nor making fun of him. I would appreciate it if people don't try to make assumptions about me being a toxic person.

We all learn, and hopefully grow as a consequence

 

[jackcass]

Move on lads .

Reef going to be very handy pickup AFTER our first and second picks

Even the manager is on board

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Heard he has just picked up glandular fever ... on top of his osteitis pubis.

There are certainly worse ways to catch it

 

[neilk]

Does he even have a basketball background?

SCUBA diving backgorund. Unfortunately copped a nasty case of The Bends. On the plus side, epic album.

 

[ClaytonM]

I heard he is a bigger tosser than Wilson.

You’re not fooling anyone, Tom.

With us Looking like Drafting Reef might mean IF we get another 1st Rounder we use it on a Tall as we are already getting a Top 20 Mid in the Draft

So fast from hero to zero.

 

[SheppPies]

I think in the future when experts redo last years draft that the three will go top 10. Trey will be seen as the best bargain since scott burns.

I didn’t see his initial set of games as that compelling...he was one of the few debutants to string multiple games together, so that says something I guess. But I didn’t see him anywhere near Burns’ caliber, happy to be proven wrong by him obviously!

How’s his kicking? I’m always concerned with big bodied junior players and how that translates in an AFL environment. They just don’t have the size dominance in the AFL. He needs to have something more than good stats at junior level to make it.

 

[Quicky]

Honest question, is Reef any good as a midfielder? I've only seen footage of him as a marking forward.

Yes. He played on ball in the few games that Rowell/Anderson/Phillips were at the national champs and showed a great ability to accumulate and win clearances. The article quoted above your post says he averaged nearly 27 disposals and 5 clearances across those 3 games.

So you're saying he's a spud and all clubs should pass on him.

he's trying to put a crown of thorns on reef's head...

 

[DerekZoolander]

Rookie pick at best

 

[Cyclops]

I heard Reef has a rare congenital heart condition just like his 57 sisters and 43 brothers, all of whom showed promise but as soon as they were drafted they broke down, and their team-mates also got it-steer clear of this one.
