Reid (even at half speed), is a better option than Mihocek. The question is, will his body allow him even to be half speed?Albert Parker wrote:^Like
He played his role well. Think he gives us a lot more effort at ground level than Reid and his kicking was very good - both for goal and field kicking. I am not sure that Reid should be getting a game ahead of him in a hurry if he can maintain these characteristics. Melbourne will be a stiffer test this week for the entire team.

I prefer Mihocek to Reid. He is far more powerful and mobile. Sure, he's not as tall as Reid, but with fewer tall power defenders, this is not so important, especially while Cox is there to attract 2 tall defenders.E wrote:Reid (even at half speed), is a better option than Mihocek.

If Reid was fit and firing and had missed the week through suspension rather than injury, I'd more than contemplate it.RudeBoy wrote:Whether Mihocek becomes a successful AFL player or not, only time will tell. But seriously, how anyone here can even contemplate us dropping him after his 4 goal debut is mind boggling. I'm sure some of you are taking the piss.
However, Reid is not fit and firing and there's no value rushing him back 1 week before the bye when Mihocek did such a good job first up. So for mine, him playing is a no brainer. He's a blue collar player, just stick to the process and that's all he needs to do. If he doesn't kick the goals he'll help create them.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Exactly. Talk about a bunch of pessimists. If they can't get excited about that debut, I give up.RudeBoy wrote:Whether Mihocek becomes a successful AFL player or not, only time will tell.

It has nothing to do with Reid, the kid played a great game and we would be insane to drop any player after their debut, let alone a wonderful debut.Maggie51 wrote:Exactly.

So consensus seems to be you all want Mihocek to get another game (its officially a love story at this point). I think Reid's health will make this entire debate moot (since it doesnt look like he is fit to return).themonk wrote:It has nothing to do with Reid, the kid played a great game and we would be insane to drop any player after their debut, let alone a wonderful debut.Maggie51 wrote:Exactly.

Not only does he 'get the next game'.... he gets named at CHFPies4shaw wrote:It doesn't actually matter what the consensus is on Nick's - Mihocek certainly gets the next game. It is beyond (sensible) debate.
The jury remains out; one swallow doesn't make a summer; etc etc. But he gets game two against Melbourne.
Don't count the days, make the days count.
