List Mgmt. Welcome Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023 National Draft)

Spare a thought for the ground production crew that forgot to turn off the music before the bounce of the ball leading to the goal.

One of the most replayable highlights you will see this year, and everytime they see it they are going to remember the time they forgot to shut off the music.

Shouldn't have the stupid music anyway. What does it add to the game?

 

[RanaNaved]

Adelaide board is chill and definitely most like us.

Port and Freo are very similar.

Richmond board is fun just because they’re so deranged, and so unhinged. It’s a mental asylum.

Dogs board is full of angry campaigners

Port and Freo (and their fans) suffer from inferiority complex imo. Mostly an afterthought to everyone but their own people, and they know it and hate it

 

[RookiePick]

Eddie Betts highlight reel is the best highlight reel.

Absolute freak that made footy more enjoyable for everyone.

 

[MeltMan]

We're good at working players back into form.
Pity we can't do the same for our own.lol

The answer seems to be to play against yourself? Play with yourself? Or just stop getting injured. But I'll be the first to admit we have no ****ing idea how to do that last one. Much better at number 2.

People will say its for the kids to justify it, but I don't know if I buy that. Even during the breaks, there is always some crowd activation piece going on. Are we really incapable of going 5 minutes without sound or visual stimulation.

Having said that, playing The Pretender coming back from half time is great.

Have you watched any Brisbane home games recently? The crowd starts belting out the song even after the audio finishes as play continues; it's mint and would be a great experience for those there.

 

[WCEswift]

Do you think he'd attract the same value that Judd did in 07 (Pick 3, Pick 20 and a young KPD)

way more the price of picks has devalued massively since then

Yeah but they rarely have a full house. WC sells out their games - there would be more cheering if they didn't deafen us all with music.

They regularly get 30-35K which feels a lot bigger at the Gabba if you’ve ever been there.

 

[Hoskin300]

Reid's averaging 3 less touches then the defender Mckercher and has kicked 1 more goal (7) then the forward Zane "The Bust" Duursma.

Reid's output so far has those two covered by a mile even with the slow start to the season.

I don’t think this makes sense but fair enough. The player ratings of them combined exceeds Reid’s player rating currently. I would personally prefer Reid but can see the opposite argument.

****en hell, how old are you? Haha

 

[archiemoses]

Did he select Bonkers as the song played after he kicks a goal? Elite choice if so.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

From the Woodcock, skimming off Harley's ABC post game interview on why he needed to go home during our Gold Coast game. Feel for him having to spend his birthday on his own...surely the team got around him? I'm he just meant alone without his family.

[MadEyeEmmy]

Was waiting at the doctors and decided to try out the reading of another team's board to see their take on Reid. So headed over to Cockburn...

• he's peaked
• he's not really that good
• he'll be gone in 50 games
• that goal wasn't that good
• he's a bigger ducker than Ginnivan

Also a few obviously mentally stable people who admitted he's a star and the goal was great.

That was more than enough "Reiding Copium" for me and don't think I'll be doing that anywhere else again.

Quite a few visitors over to our board after your win against Melbourne. Cute and very chill of you.

It’s not Reid vs the pair of them, it’s Reid vs Duursma. If they finished last, they’d have had 1+2 and taken McKercher anyway.

And if we are doing Reid vs the both of them on a total ranking basis, the side with two players will likely always win. But Reid + a player playing the equivalent role to the lower ranked of the two? How does that stack up? Just because we didn’t draft them then and there doesn’t mean we field one fewer player, it means those minutes can go elsewhere.

It’s all a bit moot anyway, I think the post earlier that said no Eagles fan would accept the straight swap now, and gut feel is most North fans would, is where I land.

Spoken with a complete lack of awareness.

Yeah it would have been way way better if they just finished last. Not arguing that at all tho. Arguing that trading pick 2 and pick 3 for pick 1 would have been dumb for north at the time. McKercher was very highly rated and has backed that up.

Yeah it’s certainly worth adding on an average player to Reid’s total player rating so it make it two players against two players. Reid would win that comparison at the moment.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Just like the Cockburn game, and when Neil Armstrong took his fake landing on the moon or JFK day, this was one of those: where were you day.

Still in disbelief. What a Harley Reid day.

 

[GlennTwenty]

After 9 games, Harley had 161 disposals (81 contested), 7 goals, 43 clearances, 30 tackles

After 9 games Chris Judd had 131 disposals (71 contested), 11 goals, 24 clearancs, 20 tackles

After 9 games Nick Daicos had 222 disposals (48 contested), 1 goal, 17 clearances, 16 tackles

Played in different positions of course but those clearance and contested possessions numbers for a 19yo are insane.

Plus I can't stop watching his highlights. So good.

 

[Keys]

I genuinely wonder if our recruiters expected him to be this good so soon

Personally think he’s surpassed what were already lofty expectations

Cuzz after 9 games 130ish possies 15 goals 7 tackles from fwd pocket

JD after 9 games 135 possies (58 contested) 11 goals 30 tackles

This is why I say people are disappointed JD didn't level up. He was pretty ridiculous early on, but turns out that was just closer to his ceiling than some other players who take 4-6 years to really get going.
