#31 Zach Reid

@Learnings

We were in the hub in 2020 - he tore a horrible Hawthorn apart in Adelaide and played ok against Melbourne in Worsfold’s last game.

Everyone remembers he sat on the fence against WCE and he played the dreamtime game in Darwin. He was easily back to full health by the time he went to Brisbane.

4 games (on reduced minutes) is absolutely not an indication of a return to full health from OP.

But regardless, that was not at all the point. So unless you care to respond to the actual point, I don’t care.

Who knows. The club have got on top of stress related injuries to its young tall players.

And young redheads too. We don’t get any stress related injuries to young redheads.

The speccy he took against Hawthorn was a good indication he was over his OP

[donsrule]

I’m in the minority that Zach can still get it together, and he will go on to become an AA CHB.

I do also think we can’t plan for this to happen though, but I’m not writing him off yet.

Yep, and the 80m goal he kicked on Anzac Day was a good indication he was over his OP, until he went day with OP again shortly after.

Again, this is not the point.

The point is, even if we got him right before he went to Brisbane, 2 1/2 years to get him right IS NOT A SUCCESS.

Can confirm that Zach has had surgery to repair his hamstring today.

[JuzzyB]

Oh they’ve just released it haha. Found out from a friend who works at the hospital earlier today.

[Humble_Minion]

The Zach Reid surgeries vs games played margin opens up again…

Zachs block of games has been the highlight of this year for me. I really hope he can manage to get him right from now on. If he manages a full season, hes AA quality. His defensive work is the best ive seen at the club at least since Hooker and Hurley were in their prime.

To me, its been a fault n recruiting. There are recognisable body types that are prone to injuries and issue at AFL level. We have taken too many of these types in the past. Look at our draftees under Rosa. They’ve all stayed pretty healthy and that just cannot be a fluke/chance.

I always thought the tall skinny types were less injury prone. Fletcher that Tuck both played 400 games.

Like Zach’s uncle Bruce?

[Duplicity]

Did they say he’s farked?

[JimmyT]

Man you’d love to be drafted to Essendon,
5-6 good games and your set the next contract.

I like Zach, I want him to play and succeed.

But he is 1000-1 to play a 100 games in his career now.

“Reid has played 10 games this year, more than his career tally prior to the current season.”

Building nicely.

Arithmetic progression suggests he’ll play 34 games in 2026.

[Humble_NSW_Fan]

Need to install a couple of zips over his hamstrings, to make things easier for next year.

[Finding_Nino]

What about the leg sock the port player wears would that help Reid?

[Crod]

Probably not Nino

[Houli_Dooley]

Bless

[Finding_Nino]

Wouldn’t it act like a compression keep his hamstring from exploding haha

[Duplicity]

Should OceanGate have gone out with a compression sock on? they imploded too
