    I wonder how much Brisbane knew about Reid, give he was originally named as an emergency Merrett certainly didn't give him much respect.

    Impressive debut. And can confuse oppositions further by popping up anywhere on the ground, including the odd ruck (but not centre bounce at this stage). The loss of LRT needn't hurt quite so much with this added option. And Reg and Teddy continue on their merry way.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Exactly!!!! These 2 are getting very little recognition in the media at the moment. There respective performances in the last month has been phenominal(sp?). Can anyone tell me how many goals Super Ted has conceded to his direct opponent in the last month? Me thinks its not many.

    About as much as you lot knew !

    And all this excitement is probably why Roosy has held his debut back, he is after all still a kid whose body is still growing. A few deep breaths are probably in order around about now, and let him get on with his next preseason knowing he is going to be an AFL player, not might be.

    He looked remarkably composed for a teenage debutant. We sure have been blessed this year with our first-gamers - Jetta, Rohan, TDL. The future is looking quite tantalising.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    the shoulders happened about half way through the season, ORB and I stopped calling him Weed around about then. I think muscle development happened.

    I'm a proud Reid bandwagoner, which shows some of us have been listening to you, Primmy.

    I won't be making a habit of it, but shows it can happen....

    I would say "No Chance" but I hope I am wrong. He got selected because of the injuries and consequent withdrawals. He was never down to play originally.But for the injuries,we would have not seen him this year and I believe there was no intent on the part of the coaches to play him.They appear to have no development policy for young players. Circumstance forced it on them.As far as preparing a young player for a Final it comes way too late.We can't afford the 2nd game blues or the ups and downs of a debut during Finals time. I actually agree with the conservatives and "coaches know best" brigade on here that in a Finals , the hard attack on the body might be a bit much for an 18 year old in his second game. Leave him till next year!

    Hopefully he's thinking I really need to work my arse off and do everything the coaches want of me and the opportunities will come.

    Probably better if he spoke to Longmire instead.
