List Mgmt. Welcome to the West, Nic Reid and Jamaine Jones

[The Stid]

Congratulations and welcome to Nic Reid and Jamaine Jones. Both of these lads have brilliant stories, Nic coming from the ammos to being listed as a WAFL Eagles top up player and has now made his way onto the rookie list. And Jamaine’s story has been covered but a tough up bringing and then axed by Geelong, he now gets a second chance at an AFL career. Good luck to them for season 2020 and beyond.

Fantastic choices. Jones and Reid should play senior footy this year you would think.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Great choices, perfect use of the list spots. Welcome!

 

[FKASC]

Would have preferred they take just one so we have another spot midyear. Get the boarman etc

You’d think this suggests they consider Treacy a fair way off

 

[Ok Boomer]

Congrats to both.

The signing of Reid sends a great message to our other WAFL players too. Perform and you will be noticed.

 

[Trav22]

Great pick up’s!!
Jones looks very skilled.
mid season draft isn’t the be all and end all. Picked up two decent talents here!

Depending on what happens and mostly when it happens with Rioli we may have another free spot mid year.

Jones round 1 bolter? No rioli or Venables, Cameron not in full training and Treacy not looking up to it atm

 

[amazingjoshy]

Cameron out for 8 weeks according to Channel 10. Plus Venables and Willie, can see why we added both.

Reckon Jones will play R1. Need another defensive small forward. Allows Cripps to push up ground and Petch to work off HFF.

 

[Art OF war]

Congrats boys,

May all your dreams come true, except one, so you have something to strive for.

AOW

 

[RookiePick]

Congrats to the 2 lads. Do us proud!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Surely one of Treacy, Jones and Reid should be playing in the round 1 to play alongside Ryan, Cripps and Petch. Treacy might be dropped back to the WAFL Eagles, while Jones should be added to the AFL squad. Huge opportunity for him to stake a claim for a round 1 berth with a big game since Treacy was pretty quiet against Essendon. Can't see much of a chance for Reid for round 1. Disappointing that we didn't/couldn't add Humphries. Just happy that we didn't add Grey.

 

[WCEforeverman]

Does Nic Reid have midfield potential? He looks a decent size.

 

[The Stid]

You would think with Camouflage out with OP, we’ll get our first look at JJ in the wings this Saturday. Agree with above posts, should be pushing for a round 1 debut.

 

[Monocle]

Well done to the two new players.

Really like the Jones pick, not sure with Reid, he had his WOW moments in the WAFL and also had some moments that where a bit questionable.
That said Reid should benefit big time, from becoming a full time professional player and the training load that, that presents.

Also like the fact that they are both quick and nippy lefties.

As I posted elsewhere, the Jones story is one that is inspiring and I give a nod to anyone who, having been dealt such shitty cards early in life, who is then able to overcome the odds.
Jones really IMO deserves a second chance and I will be fingers crossed backing him.

The sick side of me also likes the possibility of that anti Eagles campaigner Dwayne ******* Russell having to listen to another commentator rubbing it into the Cattery with a line straight out of the Dwerp Russell book of play calling.......

Setting........ West Coast V Geelong ...... and this is the call.

" Jones the new Eagle swoops in, front and centre, rovers the pack for his fourth goal, against a Club that didn't want him and told him to move on."

Now that, fellow posters would bring a tear to my eye.

I think Jones was decent for Geelong the problem was them getting Dalhaus and Rohan. He got passed by Miers and Atkins too. He kicked 47 goals in 45 games at VFL level. We will see big loss with Rioli, Venables and now Cameron with a potential long term injury.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Anyone other than Gray is good with me.

Was hoping it was Cale Morton just quietly.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Reid will be aiming for Round 1 WAFL with his recent shoulder reconstruction. Well done on Reid & Jones, great pick ups.

This will add more ammunition for my Eagles v Pussies Preview in round 3.

 

[WCErevival]

Thank you for not signing Grey, Pickett or big Frase

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Looking forward to seeing what JJ has to offer.

It’s been quoted that can still have a pick in the Mid Season Draft

 

[omgfridge]

Reid impressed me a lot in the 1 WAFL game I went to live last year.

Happy with both these low risk picks. Definitely both have a good chance to shine with our small forward woes.

In a warped sort of way it brings a bit more balance to the Kelly trade
