’s outstanding athleticism and strong contested grab make him a genuine threat inside 50. The 2012 premiership forward showed exactly that when he booted six goals in the Sydney Swans’ clash with Collingwood in Mark Grook at the SCG to win the 2019 Goodes-O’Loughlin Medal. The 2009 draftee can also play as a loose man in defence or pinch-hit in the ruck. Reid has had very little luck on the injury front in his time in red and white, but he didn’t miss an AFL match in 2019. He’s played 143 career games at the top level for a return of 154 goals.

Teams have worked him out, just don't give him a clear jump at the ball.

Yep basically this. He gets outmuscled too often.

 

[Grongey]

With Tom Harley just signed as Football Director, have a guess what position Sam Reid will be playing next year.

Has Harley expressed an opinion on Reid through the media?

Lets hope so. He's no good to us in the forward line.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Stuart Dew is our midfield coach right? But wasn't he a forward or am I mistaken?

Dew played primarily on the wing from memory, though was a handy forward for hawthorn in 2008..

 

[db swannie]

Well it seems the doggies are circling for Reid, and Membrey's gone as well.

Cirlcing but what are they offering? Second round draft pick?

 

[db swannie]

Cirlcing but what are they offering? Second round draft pick?

Yep, which given his recent performances may be all he's worth. Personally, I think we have to bite the bullet and send him permanently into the backline, especially if Shaw retires and/or if Mal leaves.

 

[Punts]

Every Swans match T Harley commentated he would go on about Reid should be moved to CHB.

Not his role but Harley should give him some tips and get him back there.

Agree move him down back.
Mal will go but Shaw may get another year with Mal leaving.

 

[Mavlions1961]

Maybe we could trade Reid for Joel Patfull. I heard he wanted to move to Sydney (Most likely GWS).

He certainly does want to move to Sydney, personally I think it would be a good swap.

 

[Syd]

Cirlcing but what are they offering? Second round draft pick?

Given our draft history, we should hold out for a pick in the 60's

 

[Swan Dive]

Every Swans match T Harley commentated he would go on about Reid should be moved to CHB.

Not his role but Harley should give him some tips and get him back there.

He'll either be traded, or given one last chance to prove himself in the backline.

One thing's for sure - the clock is ticking.

 

[clivus]

If he stays, I only want him to play CHB. Crap kick, occasional brain explosion with decision making, but seen do some decent handballing in tight, and of course can take a mark.

He has all the time in the world his contract ends 2017, hope that is the last time we will give a 5yr! deal to a unproven player wtf were we thinking.

 

[scaryness]

I only remember him playing 2 decent games this year. West Coast in the wet, and the 4 goals against Carlton

Yeah but we were all doing handstands and giving ourselves reacharounds after signing him up, don't forget!

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I think most of us were quite scared by the 5yrs

 

[The King!]

Harley could teach him to guard space in the backline

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

His best 2 games have come when Tippett was not in the side.. he played deep while Buddy was more up the ground.

Carlton 4 goals
GC 3 goals

Bulldogs are really trying to troll us then, dangling a second rounder in our faces with a player that's got two more seasons to run on his contract.

 

[The King!]

His best games are when the opposition defence is crap essentially

lol i was at least trying to be positive

I'll be honest with you Reid is reallly overrated outside of Sydney surprised the amount of interest he was getting on TWR.

But hey if it gets us a better deal lets lap it up
