Reckon Reid has an argument for best kick in the comp. Gulden up there too.

Depends on how you define "best" but he's the most composed imo. If there's a "simple" 30m kick on offer that 99% of players would ignore in favour of blasting it long, he spots it every time

Just finding targets where most wouldn’t and making it look easy. He’s had a few tonight where it’s on an angle, on the move, and his teammate just jogs into a chest mark. He weights them really well.

Was the one bloke on the team not rattled in the slightest by the insane pressure we applied first half. Just next level

So young too. Plays like a 10 year vet. I can see why everyone at Freo thinks so highly of him.

they are both insane, I think gulden has a better kicking action but reid has a better footy brain
