’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.

I broke into the research library

As long as you're using it, I'm happy

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Yep give it a month at least before we piss our pants

.... oh....

 

[Tedeski]

Good chat with Sam Reid on SEN this morning. He said he had no real interest to go back to Victoria as he loves it at the Swans.
Lifestyle & all.

This will make so many posters on here happy.

I personally think he is a certainty to stay...but these interviews can be taken with a grain of salt. Tom Mitchell said the exact same things numerous times.

Then sign. 5 years minimum.

And then we didn't pay him close to what he could get elsewhere. Reid is unlikely to be in a similar position.

I sort of hope he is because it would mean he has had a great 2017 season.

 

[DavyRed]

Wouldn't he think that on balance he owes the club something given his output over this current contract (and I say that as a fan of his)?

Given his injury history, he really has to play good footy this season, he is apparently as fit as he has been for a couple of years. If he goes down injured again this season, for an extended length of time,he is history, sad but footy clubs do not carry passengers!

Players rarely think like that

 

[DavyRed]

Players rarely think like that

Yeah, I know. Just momentarily slipped into naïve mode, must be my old age

 

[Punts]

If that's the case Tippett should be giving coin back to the club
If he was to go by performances and money

 

[bradmanstandguy]

Did we sign Tippett , before we knew Buddy was avaliable?

 

[The King!]

Probably has enough to buy his own club

 

[Jeffers]

congrats on the ton sammy. Big game needed from you this Friday. I for one hopes he stays (on less coin) and from the recent article he is keen to hang around.

 

[Blacky]

Good player when he isn't injured

 

[scaryness]

Coleman medalist

 

[The King!]

His coach is making life hard

 

[Skeparovic]

Good player when he isn't injured

Great player when he's allowed to be in the forward line for more than 1/2 a quarter

 

[Blacky]

I've never doubted him

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Keep him in the forward line and he'd smash it this year.

 

[RW]

His coach is making life hard

I'll second that.

 

[Dubsforsam1]

I'll second that.

Well it would help if he didn't have to move into the ruck with Tippet out

 

[The King!]

Humble pie with cream is delicious
