Brent Reilly?

[sax]

Just announced on channel 9 news in SA that he could be up for trade.
I think he's pretty handy and he's Victorian. What does everyone else think?

DOB: 12/11/1983
H: 184cm W: 84kg. 93 games

[fonz_#15]

[battye]

Who?

[Ralphy]

someone like melbourne who needs a mid fielder will get Him dont think we need one

We need plenty of mids but not fringe must try and develop a higher talent group to complement our list

[Saints Premiers 2008]

no bugger off

[sax]

Was a regular in Adelaide's line up until this year because of injury.
1st round draft pick in 2001.
Is a chance to play for them against Collingwood this week!

[Goose is king]

Im not sure you guys have realy seen much of him, or atleast not taken enough notice. He is no fringe player. Very good talent. That said I am now of the opinion we should keep all draft picks this year.

[mick13]

Have no idea who he is, but I hear his name a lot on the radio/tv.

[saintsRrising]

Must admit that I don't really recall him..

Was pick 12, the one before Dal in the superdraft.

Is a very good player when fit.

Think of Brent Moloney (Melb) and hes a very similar player. Scott Thompson but shorter.

[perfectionist]

No good. One of the reasons we can beat them. Goodbye!

[Goose is king]

They can't kick goals thats why we can beat them

This thread says a lot about Saintsational actually watching games of football that don't involve St Kilda.

Brent Reilly is a talented player.

Broke into the side which contained McLead, Edwards. Goodwin, Riccuito etc.


Players interstate dont get half the kudo's the deserve from Melbournians.

[bergholt]

Not a big enough tackler or defensive-minded enough for our Ross.

Also, he's a bad age - he sits square in the middle of our biggest group of players, those who'll be between 24 and 26 at the start of next year:

Ferguson
Maguire
Ball
Schneider
Gram
Dal Santo
Jones
Dempster
Montagna
Clarke, X
Birss
Gardiner, C

And Kossie, Roo and S Fisher are just a little older.

It sounds pretty dangerous to have a group of this importance all aging at the same time. "List management", dontcha know.

I must admit that after watching the saints, I can rate all our players out of 10 but few opposition players

[evertonfc]

I'd love to get him - all depends on price. I've followed him since the draft days and reckons he's got everything needed to make for a quality contributor.

A genuine talent. Has all the attributes.

I hope we could pinch him for a third rounder but you'd suspect someone will nab him with a second round pick.

Can seriously play when fit, and if I can get on my pedastal, I think he could be one of the competitions most improved players if he gets given a chance.

I'm keen on a few untapped types - Boyle is one who springs to mind - so long as they have the ability to improve the list ahead of what we have.

That often means delisting or trading players away to ensure that when you do trade for a player, you don't compromise the ability to bring through youth.

I really hope we can 'trade out' some players for picks this year and in turn, cash in on what is shaping as a trade week full of bargains.

Last year, we bolstered our list significantly by giving little away. I hope the same remains true this year.

[Sam23]

Reilly is awesome!

Probably my fave. player outside the saints.

i love it how probably 80% of saintsational watches saints matches only and/or has very little knowledge out of the saints.

Extreme talent, went 1 pick after Dal IIRC, his kick is about as damaging as they come and certainly runs pretty well.

Injuries a massive concern for him though.

Would be in our top 12 players if he came to the club.


Despite me earlier saying using all our picks this year, i'd probably trade a pick for him. What number? Our second one.

[widereceiver]

I'd take him depending on the price. Perhaps a trade for Fiora?

[mad saint guy]

Quality player, but not a type who I would trade picks for. Adelaide would want a top 20 pick and I'd much rather we stick with youth (unless we're getting a genuine star like Kerr or a bargain like King).

[mad saint guy]

I'd take him depending on the price. Perhaps a trade for Fiora?

No chance in hell. You've got to give quality to get quality. The price would be our first draft pick or our second rounder plus a player like Allen.

[Sam23]

I'd take him depending on the price. Perhaps a trade for Fiora?

I love this logic.


We give away a hack and they'll give us a genuinely good player.

[matrix]

yup good player... he is versatile and can play in a possies other than the guts id look at him for a late pick..but i wouldnt go out me way to acquire his services.

peeps are right (the ones with any nouse) he is talented.

[plugger66]

Maybe if we gave them Fizz and Ferg they would be interested. Also we could swap one of our lower picks for one of theres. Im sure they will jump at it.

[Beej]

Very good player. Beautiful user of the footy.

Really struggling to find the footy at the moment though...
