’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.

Does anyone know if Reid is contracted after this year, surely GWS are going to be all over him.

I read somewhere that he is contracted next year but im not sure how reliable the source was. Think it was in an interview with one of the so called experts of the game on one of the newspaper sites

 

[legend166]

We're going to have to throw some cash at him, you'd suspect.

GWS can take uncontracted players at the end of 2012 too.

 

[bedford]

Sign him for 5 and go after Ben who will win his second flag this year. Offer him the captaincy, or anything. Imagine a Reid at either end.

Yes this - At least make sure we retain Sam. Ben well that would be something of a cull.

 

[S120]

A coup?

 

[awesummm]

You never know, perhaps Collingwood may get reamed by the Swans at the trading table much like they did to us with Jolly.

I guess in a way, it may depend on the Reid's desires to play in the same team that is if they truely want to play together.

 

[tombomb]

I think he is the most exciting young player we have had since .... well ever.

Looks like a genuine superstar, especially when you remember he is only 19.

There is a lot of hype about darling, but i reckon he has him well covered

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Whoops yes this is what I meant - Cull quite the opposite arghhhh shit

I agree. When Reid fills out he is going to be a monster.

First thing I ever noticed about him live was his size. Huge shoulders. Looks like he will be a superstar. We need to throw whatever we have got to keep him.

 

[bloodsbigot]

I must admit, I was wrong about Sam Reid.

I had a little bitch about all his misses in front of goal a few weeks ago, however now I think he's going to be a...

[tombomb]

The thing that worries me is that on other supporters (based on other boards) don't even rate him amongst the best young players in the comp. Which is a concern because if we were to lose him to GWS, we probably wouldnt get what he is worth in return.

WE CANT LOSE HIM - I trade 3/4's of the team to keep him.

How dare you compare him to Ed Barlow!!

 

[zetz]

How dare you compare him to Ed Barlow!!

Not half the player Barlow is !

Do not worry about things such as this. He is not going anywhere. Sydney have an amazing record at keeping key players.

The only event that will cause Sam to leave is Sam himself not being happy at the Club.

OR he looks for a club with a kicking coach slightly better than Andrew Dunkley.

It will be a massive loss if we lose him to GWS. He looks like a heavyweight, either way.

What about Footscray's kicking coach

 

[MushroomRocket]

If we lost this guy i would be baying the recruiting manager's head. it would be a travesty. This guy has most talent in one arm than jesse white has in his entire body. He plays like a buddy tank

sign him up now !

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Should we change this from a roast thread to a toast thread?

If other supporters dont rate him, good for us,although you can bet that
all clubs are tracking his progress. At this moment in time,he needs to ignore the media and improve his skills!

 

[Swanee]

Should we change this from a roast thread to a toast thread?

Yes we should. This thread was a joke in the first place and should never have been posted.

 

[bedford]

Ah, we agree

 

[Swanee]

Ah, we agree

We often agree Bedders.

 

[tombomb]

either someone tells me that he is signed up for at least 3 years or I am going to lose my friggin mind!!!!

Gee he has a clean pair of hands on him when he's going for a mark. Right amongst it alongside the likes of J.Riewoldt and Podsiadly.

Sign him up to a long term deal, he's a beauty. Just needs to work on his set shot for goal and a couple of his layoffs in traffic were a bit iffy, but i can't believe he is only 19. Plenty of time to get all that right.
