Ben Reid coming to Sydney ?

[wolftone57]

My impression was that he found it hard to get into the game at first, then had a spell in the midfield and was nearly as destructive as Goodes. Very dangerous player.

Yes he is exceedingly dangerous in the midfield and just like Goodsie he is very athletic.

It brought a smile to my face every time Buddy took a mark or kicked a goal on Reid. We've already seen how good he can be, so every poor game makes it that little bit easier for us to lure him across. A new life, in sunny Sydney, playing with his brother and not being a Collingwood player should give him a psychological boost to get back to his AA best.

What I got out of last nights match was that Ben Ried is probably a worse kick than Sam. Their old man was an AFL footballer (no one game wonder) so what in the heck was he doing when he taught them to kick. They both throw the ball across their body as they do with their leg when kicking. That OTF from a kick out in the last quarter was woeful.

Really? I thought Ben has a really rated left boot. Long precise kicks out of the back half is what I've heard a lot about so I find your assessment surprising.

Maybe he had an off day?

I heard you the first time. However you also went on to wonder how their dad taught them to kick, so I was just providing the evidence contradictory to that.
