Looks like a no to the Punctured Lung, doubt he'd be getting on a plane if that was the case. so sounds like some good news at least.
pos
- both our number 1 draft picks have now debuted, now we can feed through the rest of them.
Hands up all you campaigners that pre draft were like ‘Reid won’t get away with the fend offs / fighting through tackles at AFL level and will get caught a lot trying it’.
There was a fair few of you too
+'s
We actually competed for 1/2 a game.
We won our first quarter for the year.
The effort was there for more time than any match this year, even though skills were lacking.
-'s
injuries
we died at half time and just didn't look in it from that point on.
Overall
I hope we persist with guys like Chesser (not a good game I know), Hough etc. over bringing back Gaff etc. We need to get miles into legs and time together to better understand each other.
Juicy highlight package of Harleys fend offs in the AFL.priddis match report
Harley hype real with fend-off masterclass
Harley Reid showcases his highly-regarded ability to break through a tackle with this powerful outing against Sydneywww.afl.com.au
Please consult a doctor if the effects of Reid last more than 6 hours.Positive: still rock hard
I thought Hough was good also. My 'didn't have a good game' comment referred to Chesser.Hough was in our best. Blanked Papely to 5 possesions and no goals if my memory serves.
When Kelly underwood starts using her 2 packs a day voice you know its specialYou know when you hear Gerard and the other grunting on the mic like that they are seeing something special, same stuff when Judd/Buddy were doing their thing.
Merch store going to be selling an awful lot of number 9 guernseys the next couple years.Not sure we've had a player that I can compare to Reid.
Just love seeing the number 9 out there dominating.

I wasn't a 'won't' but was curious to see if he 'could' and for how long at AFL level. Early days though, but certainly enjoying his attempts so far. Look forward to the fend off fest between him and Dusty (who uses it much less now). Also noticed that he often breaks tackles because he goes in and comes out bent over low, so he's harder to tackle, and increases the chance of head high or around the neck/free kick. Seems to have a low centre of gravity (big butt helps) and strong through the hips, not unlike Yeo. He's built, is a solid package, and a handful!Hands up all you campaigners that pre draft were like ‘Reid won’t get away with the fend offs / fighting through tackles at AFL level and will get caught a lot trying it’.

This absolutely worth a mention. Great/Fantastic to see someone at the club watch/review how the Tigers went about stopping the Swans do that 40 metre pass into the corridor and then have the team implement it successfully for a large part of the game. Building bricks- platforms- something to hang your hat on. I don't think I've seen the team implement any kind of tactical play like this in quite some years. It's exciting!Was interesting seeing the Swans hunting the corridor and getting thwarted.
