WC always tank at the right time.
Reid?s ridiculous double fend on Demons stars

This kid is taking enormous amounts of piss.
They might have actually undersold the hype.
Kudo to Chef who called out Reid as an out and out star before the season started.
Apparently is also a decent kid from a decent family.
Imagine the offers he’s getting right now.
West Coast would be up there with their offers considering their list profile.Quote:

They are a well run club and typically win a flag after being on the bottom of the ladder.
English would actually complement them now also. English again has a bit to think about.
Still no macaroonsQuote:

WCE have hope to sell in spades now, while North bask in their last round win from last year.Quote:

They will set him up with a surfer girl from Cottesloe just to alleviate any potential homesick vibes.Quote:

I suppose the gold coast loss helped us get Sanders? I wonder what our trades may have looked like had the suns won. Sliding doors moment for us too.Quote:

Ricciuto in his younger years wasn't as explosive as Reid is.Quote:
