’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.

[The King!]

That attempt to go after the ball and body line Tuey was really bad to watch
1st or 2nd quarter?

Looked like he was already on holiday, which is a shame because at times he looked ok this year, but overall nothing changed here

 

[S120]

He had a good year overall but, along with 18 others, played awfully last night and they came across as either disinterested or not motivated enough to work as hard as they needed to.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Only decent consistent contested mark in the team and he was dropping absolute sitters.

 

[Tedeski]

The whole team basically had a shocker from coach to water carriers.

 

[The King!]

Biggest tease in footy, but used oddly by coaches

 

[ashep]

Stick him at FF full time next season please.

You simply can't expect a bloke to excel when you don't let him settle in a position.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Despite the effort against the Geelong, I'm still very happy he's signed on with the Swans again. Is becoming that LRT-style utility although much stronger as a forward rather than LRT who was much stronger defensively. At least he managed to kick a goal and then save a certain one with a mark on the goal line. More than most of the other 21 players last night...

 

[Deccas]

I thought he was really coming into his own as swing man throughout the season. I dont know if he'll ever be dominant like i oncr thought he could be but he's a versatile and reasonably consistent contributor.

[Superstar swan]

The guy had a very good year really, poor in finals but hes still a work in progress. Missed all of last year and to come back the way he did is a big positive, expecially when he is the dictionary definition of a confidence player

I'm not responsible for any of the Player Watch thread titles...

 

[The King!]

This guy would pull a hammy doing his missus even if she did all the work, which i bet most weeks she has too

Dude, relax.

He’ll cum good

Not me, if I did it the thread title would have a Jarrad Waite reference.

Reid will come good, just needs 3-4 more years of development and building his body

 

[momentbymoment]

I'm not a fan of bagging Swans players so I am going to direct all my frustration at Tippet.
F***** campaigner!!!

I can't like this enough.

 

[SilentHunter_]

To think our forward structure would end up depending on Reid. Oh my...

 

[The King!]

Mainly think we miss his marking down back so far this year

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Care to say we miss a tall up forward its just Buddy and nothing else at the moment, Tippett and Reid would be very handy right now.

I wonder if Grant Thomas will come up with some weirdo theory about Melican and Reid being out of the team together, seems to be his thing
