Post: # 860630Post Nicky »

.....SAM REID (18, Murray Bushrangers, 194cm, 87kg) Reid, the brother of Collingwood player Ben, does his job in quieter style, but goes for his marks if they're there and seems diligent and fairly calm, which I like in a defender. He has the speed and endurance to do those things at a higher level.

Pick 32 in a shallow draft is more of a lottery than usual. Take the BEST AVALIABLE. Throwing names up is no more than guessing !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

I'm not guessing. If Sam Reid is still available at pick 32 we should grab him. I get the feeling though he will be snapped up earlier. :(

If Trengrove or Scully are available, we should take them.

Do you have some expertise and/or inside knowledge in this area? Or are you just offering an opinion like the rest of us? !!

And kick straight!!!


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

I would be happy to take Jesse Smith, subject to his body being ok or subject to Dave Misson believing we can get his body ok.
He is a super talent.

I'm trying to say that Reid would be a good get at 32.

I know nothing about the draft... or the kids... but what i have seen in the media tells me that melbourne clubs over-rate TAC kids. I do know Sth Aussie won the National under 18 champs easy. Pumped it in. Yet the Age only has one sth aussie in the top 20??? Go figure....The HUN does not even report on them at all!

Common sense tells me the bargain/value at 32 will come outside the TAC and mots likely from a Sth Aussie - as we have done last year with Stanley and previously with Sam Fisher.

Throwing names up is ok Nick...

Have you seen him play?

Yes, I think he is slightly taller than his brother Ben and will be the type of player that we can bring through slowly to eventually replace Blake. If he is stll there at 32 we would be mad not to take him. I get the feeling he will be gone before we get a chance to draft him...but you never know.

Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
