Lukas Webb has a hamstring injury. Not ideal for his chances to be promoted to the senior list.

Shocking timing for the poor kid.
Geez he's brave to keep getting up.
It's simple to say that when life knocks you down that you will get up and take it on again but walking that talk is bloody hard. I hope that he gets a list spot.
Re: Following our ex's...................
Poor Lukas, sounds like a pretty serious one from media reports.
Re: Following our ex's...................
I wonder if he signs at Northern Blues hoping for a shot next year. Or comes home to Footscray and plays with mates.

Just a reminder it's 2020 and Sam Reid is still on an AFL list.

And is only 10 games away from his 100th game.

Not an eker at all for mine, played over 200 games! The best ekers somehow stay on lists whilst playing as few games as possible.

Yes - holds the AFL record for the longest amount of time between a debut game and his 50th game IIRC.
Eker royalty, which included time as a playing coach in the NEAFL before getting re-rookied two years later.

Reid is a great story of preserverance. Can’t imagine his outlasted most of the recruits from 2007 draft ! His playing in a strong side and in a gf ! An amazing story

And he's done it all while dealing with diabetes his entire career.

That's what I really admire about him. My whole family is riddled with diabetes and I know for a fact how debilitating and exhausting it is. I have no idea where Sam gets the energy to play AFL. He must train so much harder than everyone else on the list just to get to the basic level of fitness required. And when he gets to that stage of fitness then the really starts to work
Sam Reid is a hero.

Sam Reid is one of my heroes.
It would go well beyond training. He'd have to eclipse Daniel Cross' manic preparations just to get on the park.
Throw that in with a blood sugar test every time he came to the bench, carefully controlling his sugar levels through the game (Far from ideal when you're smashing through gatorade to rehydrate I'd imagine) and that's a hell of a lot of hurdles to clear just to be a depth player.
