Reimers

[bunsen burner]

Where's he at? Is he coming back from injury, out of form, on the outer?

Is he rated at Essendon? Is he a complete knob like everyone says?

I'd like him at West Coast. What do you guys feel he is worth? What if he wanted out, what would he be worth then?

I think he's a barometer, he's well skilled with good pace but more than that provides enthusiasm with a bit of mongrel.

It's quite clear that Knights has his favourites, Reimers is obviously not one of them.

We wouldn't get what he's worth.

 

[LuDiCrOuS]

REIMERS!!! my favorite! Wheres he at? Was in great form untill a wrist injury kept him out after ANZAC day, if rumours are true was self caused.
Had a couple of good games in the 2nds but Essendon was playing too well at the time, played ok not great before last week maybe attitude problems keeping him out, played shit last week in the 2's but apparently had an injured foot early in the 1st quarter.
With 3 losses in a row for Essendon and questionable form from Lonergan this is his chance to get back in IMO, plays today for Bendigo ie: Essendon 2nds.

Is that what you were looking for?

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Currently injured.

We'll throw Le Cras in as well to sweeten the deal.

Precisely.

 

[bunsen burner]

So what's he worth? How good do you think he will be? Will he end up in the midfield? How bad is his attitude? Is he a good decision maker? Is he happy in Melbourne? With his questionable attitude does he have a chip on his shoulder at playing two's?

What do Essendon need and what do you think Essendon would let him go for?

Is he worth Adam Selwood? Personally I think Selwood is a hack but I keep hearing commentators saying he's having a great season and allegedly behind the scenes he's a strong leader.

 

[ghostdog]

Is this sarcasm? I don't do sarcasm.

Kennedy, and Le Cras too if you want

...Ben McKinley perhaps.

Yawn. Another delusional supporter with the "our average player is worth a superstar" mentality. Don't worry you're not alone. A guy on the Eagles board thinks Selwood is too much and thinks McGinnity and a 3rd rounder is fair. Not quite as delusional as your good self though.

Could it be possible to use him in a deal for Shuey?

I like Reimers but he has had his injury problems on top of the fact that it seems like there may be something going on that we don't know about.

On the other hand, Shuey is a melbourne boy and went to the same school as Zaharakis IIRC. He too has had his injury and health problems and I've read that WC really rate him highly but he is exactly the type of mid we need IMO.

Perhaps could work both ways with WC getting that small forward they were looking for last year and we get the type of midfielder that we need whilst both players go back to their home states???

 

[bunsen burner]

...Ben McKinley perhaps.

That would be a pretty fair trade in my books. I rate McKinley highly. I think he's a 60 goal a year full forward. I think McKinley thinks that too. Unfortunately Woosh thinks he's a forward pocket.

 

[bunsen burner]

Could it be possible to use him in a deal for Shuey?

I wouldn't think so. My understanding is West Coast rate Shuey highly. I don't think they'd let him go unless he requested a trade. I'd speculate that Shuey will be a level above Reimers.

I like Reimers but I doubt he'll be elite.

There wouldn't be much else Essendon would need from WC with all due respect, want is a different story.

So you think Shuey will be elite. I know posters on the West Coast board think highly of him. What's stopping him from getting games?

 

[michael7]

Yeah if West Coast themselves rate him as highly as many posters on the WC board think they do then we will probably have to throw in something else too. I do think we should enquire about it though, particularly if Reimers is expendable as I feel he may be now.

Ghostdog - My understanding was that injury and now Glandular Fever are the main reason for him not getting games.

 

[Phone]

Got dropped earlier in the season, came back well, got injured, played the last couple of games for Bendigo and hasn't really starred. I don't think he's been 'dropped', we're just waiting for him to return to full fitness.

 

[LuDiCrOuS]

How good do you think he will be? Will he end up in the midfield?
Being his biggest fan this may sound biased but if he fixes a couple of things in his game has the potential to be a great, has the marking strength of a K.P.P, Has speed and skill and the ability to see a player in space that most wouldn't but is also good inside! In round 1 saw him beat Bartel, Ablett and Selwood in a contested ball! Needs more fitness and consistency.

How bad is his attitude?
His attitude, most will agree with me on this is both a strength and a weakness. He sees things differently from you and I, doesnt go with the ebbs and flows of a game, which means in 1 game you'll see him go full bore when everyone else looks disinterested or defeated but in the next hell attack when defending was the right thing to do or go the torp from 60 out when there was a target inside 50.

Is he a good decision maker?
Similar answer as above, sometimes does something amazing, sometimes makes you face palm, was taken as a 16 year old will work it out IMO.

Is he happy in Melbourne?
Haven't heard otherwise, have you?

With his questionable attitude does he have a chip on his shoulder at playing two's?
Probably doesn't take it as seriously as one's, but from what Ive seen/heard has no angst towards knight about it.

What do Essendon need and what do you think Essendon would let him go for?
MIDFIELDERS is what we need, just someone in the middle can be as slow as a elephant that when they have the ball you can sit back in your comfy chair take a sip and breath out because you know they'll do something good with it although if the quality of the player is good enough should still be considered even if not midfield.

Is he worth Adam Selwood? Personally I think Selwood is a hack but I keep hearing commentators saying he's having a great season and allegedly behind the scenes he's a strong leader.
I'm sorry to say that I'm not 100% familiar with Adam's game except from when I saw him do a good job on Ablett, we dont get very many West Coast games on TV here.

glandular fever

Our cupboard is bare in that respect. Swift is slow but looks like he has the ability/potential to move in heavy traffic and hold the ball until the right option comes.

I doubt West Coast would let Swift, Shuey, Masten, Stevens etc go for a quesionably adjusted injury prone half foward, even if Essendon threw in picks. I'd swap Lynch, either Selwood, Priddis, Rosa, and maybe even McKinley. Not sure Essendon would go for that and I doubt Woosha would. he loves hanging on to players.

At this point in time Adam Selwood for Reimers would be a fair deal (judging by what they've done in their careers, taking into account age etc) but to me, Essendon would lose out badly.

Reimers' start to the season was exceptional, he has all the tools to become an A-grader - good kicking skills, excellent in front of goals and good pace.

I personally don't understand why he wasn't fast-tracked into the side, despite us winning games of footy - he's too good at VFL level but unfortunately Reimers is just another Essendon player who is made from glass.

Riemers is one of the only players on our list that has the potential to be elite. There is no way in the world that he would be sapped for a plodder like Selwood. We already have an abundence of his type.

He was playing good footy in the 1's and then was injured. He would have been recalled already if not for getting injured again. He isn't going anywhere.

I agree. I'd love Woosh to get on it and make enquiries but he loves A Selwood. When he looks at A Selwood I swear he gets him and Chris Judd mixed up.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm a massive Reimers fan and Selwood is a plodder at best.

Koby Stevens and a middleish pick.
