Any pics of Reid ?
I heard from someone, I canāt remember who, that we are being kept out because we share the facilities with the paralympians, and they have a higher susceptibility to disease because of less active systems. So we could be kept out all year basically, while other clubs are letting people come in and sit in the stands.

It says Reid on the EFC website. Not sure.
I take it back, and what I said about Reid I apply to Eyre!

Not really much to report on, I think he looks a long way back, probably the last of the talls likely to be picked at the moment.
From all our draft picks I expect Reid - if injury free - to be the guaranteed A grader moreso because he is tailor made to be an elite tall defender. Thatās based on zero vision so should be quite a reliable prediction.

Thanks @nackers. Appreciated always.
Any comments on Hooker?
Thanks once again mate. Really exciting to hear that the coaches potentially see Cox as a genuine wingman - sounds like he has all the tools.
Interesting that Cahill is being given some time in the backline, given our lack of small forward depth. Not sure about that idea but I guess we also lack small defenders as well.
A shame that Perkins and Ridley are both still restricted to lighter duties but hopefully things ramp up for them more next week.
Would love Francis to dominate this year - hopefully his pre-season form sets him up for some success. I do wonder how much of his quarterback involvement atm is down to Ridley not being able to train fully.
Cheers again!

has cutler even trained lately?
Also i fully expect an announcement about Ridley a week before the season starts stating āhe has an issue which we have tried to manage. Now he will need surgery. Will be back later in the seasonā

I wish I had less spare time, my business is in a rather perilous state thanks to the pandemic.

This is exactly what I want to see from Coxā¦ playing on the wing, then get forward as an option (or back depending on the momentum of the game).
Iāve been vocal about the fact that I didnāt want him left and forgotten about as either a Key Forward or Key defender. It would be a waste of his key attributes.
