We have to look at him, talent on the table like that and being in the position we are draft capital and cap-wise we'd be stupid not to.

But, from what we've seen of him I'd say he doesn't currently align with our 'richmond man' standards and compromising that for one big bucks player could have a flow-on effect on our culture.

Big call.
Could've said the same about JHF when he was at North.

It's always seemed like Reid was planning to come home either this year or next year, which would make it hard for him to buy in fully at WC mentally.

Agree.

As it stands right this second I would be wanting to see a more professional display from him on a consistent basis before considering parting ways with 2 x 1st rounders.

Look at Dan Rioli as case in point. Despite wanting to move clubs, still busted his ass for us and won our B&F.

That's the attitude you want to see.

exactly what ive heard
Can confirm, I've heard we are well and truly in the Reid hunt as well






Disclaimer: my source was Michaels post I read four posts before you posted
 
Essendon will get Reid. Have the money and the connection to Caddy and having trained there and played for their VFL side before being drafted.

They will be a dynasty team I reckon in a couple of years.
Comedy season starts early this year
 
Reid will go to Geelong. He'll play for less dollars, the country lifestyle and a free farm. Like every other one of their high profile recruits.

Well they don’t have a salary cap and get sucked off by the afl so it’ll probably happen

We are well and truly in the Reid hunt from what I have heard.

Just cause we aren't linked publicly doesn't mean we aren't linked.
I think we are only in the picture 'if he doesnt sign and leave this year'

No team would be able to match both our $$$ and picks if its in 2026
but if its this year then we would be paying through the nose and will take both our 1st rounders plus possibly next years

I dont want Richmond to go early on this
do it in 2026 after we take another 2 top 5 kids

I don't think the club should chase him, but it's the clubs decision. If Harley wanted to come here ofc you are not going to say no, but I don't think he is type of player we should actively be going after.

West Coast would be frothing at the thought of picks 1/2/3 next year.

I'd rather keep our first two picks and go into the draft again.

Salary caps clean at the moment, but Lalor, smillie, trainor etc will be offered big coin to go to Tassie. Around 2mil for Reid with an attitude problem is a risk.
Would rather look after these boys first. Alot of this draft crop played together already, all bonding, would love to keep them together.

We will extend all our kids by the end of this year and tassie wont have any chance

mansell , Banks are the only players they may get
 
In before Matty Clarke trades us Reid for Kmac and a 3rd while picking up some of his contract.

He obviously has talent but complete FIGJAM and work rate is terrible. He can be the most talented bloke out there but until the penny drops then he plays on a guy like Rowell or Touk who Rowell him all day outside the odd highlight due to gut running.
 
In a lot of ways if WCE know he wants to go, they are better off doing it this year with more contract tied to him for a higher price to be paid.

Same as us with Bolton and Rioli.

I actually think we are very well placed to have a fair crack at this if we wanted to.

I would say though we must keep 1 of our 1st rounders from this year. We can't with both. Would have to be futures as well.


Imagine landing Rodrigeuz and Reid..
Yeah but if it takes both this year's we pay it
