This doesn’t make sense. Few = 3.
So what is the 3rd reason?

Who can be bothered.

He’s staying for at least another couple of years and will likely extend with the Eagles thereafter. They go above and beyond to look after their intestate players and are incredibly well resourced and connected. They don’t lose too many. Certainly not early.

This is just being fanned by a bloated AFL media spewing out clickbait stories every other day because they know the hysteria around his name works for their metrics.

There’s something cooked about a situation where a kid has been at a club for half a season post draft and this is the discourse.

He isn’t a JHF. He seems a loyal kid who will at least put in a decent shift for the Eagles and will see out the process to return them to finals footy and some form of success. Probably similar to Judd.

I don’t think these issues are insurmountable

Apparently we have heaps of cap space in the future.

As for picks, well they can be found.

Yep, bring him out of retirement and then sign and trade him on the same day like the NBA

There aren’t many players in the comp I wouldn’t trade to get Reid. Generational.

But seriously. We’d need to send them a top tier player and multiple first round picks. We’d be looking at with hyperbole the biggest trade deal ever done.

I’m assuming this is all based on trading when he comes out of contract……

Ten year deal, $30 mill. no worries

Who are our modern day equivalents of Todd Ridley, Dale Kickett, Tony Delaney and Russell Williams?

We got the draft picks for Lucas and Lloyd with those kids.

All we’re asking for is one player - who is slightly injury prone, with on field discipline issues. No brainer for the Eagles.

GET IT DONE

All true but from memory there was similar discussion when Judd was drafted.

Let footy pundits speculate.

The world of fans of the game is wildly different from reality.

I’m thinking along these lines too. Although I’m thinking it might need a sweetner.

Something like:
A straight swap fot Weideman, a future 4th and… Dodoro. Take it of ■■■■ off.
