Any word from out west if Henry will get named this week? Sounds like he is getting close.

I think long term that he is looked at as the replacement for Kruezer.
This season Teague has consistently said we will play our best available and this may spell some risk for Tom and his JS going forward.
As a Carlton fan I am thrilled with him but wouldn't be racing to include him in my SC side, no real inside knowledge though.

“Nic Reid is going to debut for us. That’s really exciting. He’s a 24-year-old school teacher. He’s come from North Beach Footy Club and has played 100 ‘Amos’ (amateurs) games. We’re really proud that he is going to play for our club.” Adam Simpson drops a debutant!
McKay and McGovern were out of our team last round and McKay is coming back in this round so he could take his spot. If he were to remain in the side it would be at the expense of Pittonet which may happen as Pittonet copped a hand injury last round and I reckon they'll rest him this round. Long term, not so sure. Reckon they might also give Josh Honey a go in for Martin.

You're right, small video clips aren't that great an indication of how good a player is overall however there was a lot of good stuff about him coming out of the club in the pre-season in print as well. I think in terms of role and position, he's a good fit for Martin and I hope they give him a go this week, they might take a more conservative approach though.

Not good for Waterman... Broke it at training yesterday and the thoughts are that it requires surgery so probably out a while.
On second thoughts, I think Reid actually comes in for Ah Chee who has been really quiet lately. Reid plays a half-forward role and has great goal sense... so he's more likely to replace Ah Chee.
The most obvious replacement like for like for Waterman is Brander. Williams another option too, but Brander is a better like for like to keep the structure we have the same.
Simmo hates giving away team news early, lol So we'll have to wait for teams.
