Yes but what will you say about the selectors if/when they bring him back, Greg?

You can't call them to your defence now if you're going to bag them later.


I think the point you are trying to make is if the re-select him later on and then keep selecting him and he establishes himself.

Giving him another go doesnt mean anything.

My comment was meant to mean they agreed with us to the extent that his game was abysmal and he deserved to be dropped.

It is not his fault we picked him in the draft, it is our fault.


Wise words that are absolutely spot on. Collingwood must take the blame and responsibility for damn awful draft choices as well as getting the credit for the good ones. You can’t just have it one way. This, at this stage anyway, looks a waste. Hopefully Reid proves me wrong and I stand to be corrected down the track. Time will tell as usual.


Time has told Lazza....

Love this kid. Would love to get his brother to the club. Both still have plenty of development in them.

Love the fact that mid season Lloyd didn't have Ben Reid in his list of 10 best KPDs. Managed to squeeze Pears and Fletcher in if I remember correctly, posibbly even Hooker. By seasons end he's come out and named him at CHB in his AA team of the year and called him the undisputed best big defender in the league.

Glad to be proven wrong, I was extremely happy when Tazza returned as he did prove in his last 2 years at Freo that he was and is a great defender. As for Ben, he failed miserably as a forward but he too is now a superstar, to be honest he is now one of my fav players behind Pendles.

Now that I'm confessing I may as well apologise to Brown and Toovey, but I'll never, ever apologise for criticising Lockyer. Wink
