’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.

That Buddy deal sure is taking its toll.

 

[SMFC1]

Credit to the club, we just keep re-signing the players we really need.

 

[SwansProudly]

It is nice to see it in print.

[BloodySwan]

Fantastic in locking Reid down! He's been one of our most important players this season being thrown all over the field. Real important signature!

 

[Tedeski]

That Buddy deal sure is taking its toll.

If we can't sign Dusty then Buddy'deal has cost us!

 

[Punts]

Was never leaving like I said

Loves Sydney and his misses is very family orientated

 

[SilentHunter_]

Only Dusty left but that'll be confirmed after we win the flag.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Like i have always said he is worth more to us than what we would get trading him it only made sense to let him go if we got something good in return rather than a late second round pick.

 

[AG]

Great news and now we can have a stress free period after we win the flag.

 

[bungwahl]

Fantastic work by the club. Some might not rate him but he's extremely valuable to our current structure and will be in his prime years during this contract. Would have cost more than we can afford to find a replacement for him.

Just hope he stays fit. He's become a proper swingman now.

Correction:
Just leave Reid and Rowan forward.


I'm a fan of forward balance with what we have now. Rowan and Reid both great overhead. Buddy is buddy and is superb everywhere except in the air- then he is only human. Rowans speed wow. Throw in Papley, Hewitt and Jack and gee that looks good to trap a ball in forward 50 keep it there and wait for a chance on the ground or in the air.

The only risk that won't work is horse getting the yips about momentum swings and sending reid and/ or Rowan back to defence.

I should add that I disagree with what horse said about why all the poor shooting the last few weeks. He said was a product of the location of shots. Rather I believe it is a product of our style of play. We trap the ball forward 50 for long periods of time and that CAUSES congestion and hasty snaps at goal. When we do get a mark set shot we already have the yips from missing too many hasty snaps which builds pressure causing misdirected shooting. Strategy remains good. We simply need better luck to succeed with a few early snaps and it will feed calmness

You play a lot of golf don't you....? how's your putting going?

 

[Tedeski]

I love it when Horse swings him down back.

Also known as Horse's entire coaching blue print

 

[The King!]

Wonder what $

Good news

Now trade tippett

 

[Troystenvic]

Hopefully he wont break down. If he can string 50 or 60 games in a row he could be anything

 

[SilentHunter_]

Heard that him being allowed to be a coach's pet alongside Hayward again after being out of favour with Horse is what got him over the line.

 

[brad cooper]

A forward line of Reid Rohan Papley Hayward and Buddy, with a resting mid like Heeney and Parker just looks so well balanced

 

[msb77]

Awesome! Like the way he can swing down back when needed. Really thought he would go and try and get to Collingwood, you made the right choice Sammy ☺

 

[Kirkswan]

Great news! Never believed he was going anywhere, but really pleased to have it confirmed!

Very important player for our team.

 

[myyakhasfleas]

Attaboy Reid.

 

[Dangas]

good decision reidy

 

[Teddy chester]

So much better with him in the team. Good man!

 

[Tuco]

Great news!

 

[Swan4Life]

That Buddy deal sure is taking its toll.

I assume you are extracting the urine but in any event it is Tippett who may cost us a key player in the near future - if it hasn't already in Mitchell.

Stoked to see Reid sign on.
