Reckon any actual deal for Reid will involve more than two clubs and will be similar to the JHF trade.  :shh

Just on Reid, couple fo points

He is contracted to the end of 2026, so can't see WC trading him unless it is for a mega deal for say three 1st round draft picks and perhaps a future 2nd rounder

If he does request a trade he will nominate a club. Not sold he'd nominate us....actually and this is just my opinion I don't reckon we are any chance

Don’t reckon we are any chance?
Front loaded contract worth millions more over the length of the contract is a pretty handy bargaining chip.

We will have a fortune in available salary cap space. Front loading the deal doesn’t harm where we are heading at all.

If we want to get it done, convincing Harley shouldn’t be a problem. He’s already said he would love to play for a power club with a huge fan base (Collingwood). We tick that box and will have plenty of available coin.

West Coast is the issue. If they want three firsts and a second, ooroo.

I wouldn't be paying 3 1sts and a 2nd.

If we get 2x top5 picks this year I'd consider those and a player but after an underwhelming performance this weekend I'd wanna see a heck of a lot more from him this year before offering even that.

Reid could play like dogshyte all year but he'll still be an absolute gun and a generational player...anyone says otherwise is just coping... :shh

He could well do a Horne Francis to West Coast but I personally don’t like that behaviour

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

He owes them nothing - they didn't draft him out of the goodness of their hearts or after everyone else overlooked him, they had pick one and he was clearly the best player that every other club would've also picked, they also knew he was a Victorian going in, on top of all the talk that he wasn't overly keen on moving interstate and the contract length for first round draft picks is mandated by the AFL, so he had no real say in the matter anyway. :shh

Unfortunately they look pretty good, Melbourne are average. Rely on few star players.

Just makes trading the pick for Reid even more of a no-brainer. :shh

North look like they are capable of winning 8-10 games . Today’s win might be a turning point for them .

I still have my doubts. Upsets are happening all over early this season, as is the case most seasons.
