      McLean (5) has kicked more goals than Reid (4) in 3 fewer games (6 and 9 respectively). Reid moves better, but McLean looks more likely to mark and goal. Neither of them are great. The issue with Reid is he’s a senior player we really needed this year and he failed to produce.

        Maybe Reid sees out his career as a ruckman/backman. We have seen what McCartin has done.

          For all those eying off talent at the Orange upstarts, a bit of talk about how (1) there might be a mini exodus and (2) they might have way too many inside mids and need to shed some.

            Which has been a problem as the mids have looked for him far too often this season and other teams can easily defend that kick.

              Agree, what money would he be on ( thought it was a good contract ) ? His career has been all about potential but has turned out a myth & more than average injury time. Amazing how well we have gone over the years considering Tippett & Reid taking a big part of the salary pie. I guess all clubs have big money list cloggers but the Swans were famous for their "money-ball
              " recruitment's that we surely need now to fill the gaps.

                I don't think he's worth much in a trade. Prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he goes with Buddy, Daniher and Heeney alongside him next year!
                I would like us to go after Josh Schache.

                199 cm, 94 kg, former No 2 draft pick, out of favor at the Dogs, would cost us nothing.

                He has speed but I have always though that Dogs were the wrong team for him.

                If Tom is going down back, and Reid is getting desisted, a second ready made tall is what we need.

                He is fit and has strength!

                  Great idea!

                  Good cheap potential solution!

                    I know he’s a #2, but is he any good? Been in the system a while.

                    Why not Paddy McCartin?

                      Concussions have to be of concern. Pretty sure Schache has been relatively injury free.

                        Schache kicks very straight, doesn't need much of the ball to make an impact. Haven't watched closely enough to work out why he's out of favour at the Throwers

                          Because he's no good!
                          Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                            Jack Watts was No 1 pick as I recall

                              I don't think we need to break the bank on a tall forward. Just someone who competes in the air, on the ground and is capable of creating opportunities for the smalls and mids pushing forward. Would LRT consider a comeback?

                                I'll be happy with a forward line of a fit Buddy and Daniher next year with Logan McDonald learning his craft as our first draft pick. Dreaming?
