’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.

Played like a giant marking MID last night.

heck it looked good.

The real story of the night for me.

 

[grimlock]

Round 2 vs Port:


Can you do one for last night to compare?

These should be the new Rorschach tests

Did he look more like Goodes or Kouta?

Kouta for mine.

 

[swansfan51]

Was very good as he was able to go hunting the ball and following the play - didn't have the positioning issues he has regularly had in a key position, and he was more able to impose himself on the contest on his own terms

 

[MF]

I reckon he's better suited to larger grounds

 

[MickyG]

These should be the new Rorschach tests

New nickname: Boomerang (kind of already taken though)

 

[The King!]

He even went into a back late at a key moment battled the mids and extracted it to create a forward entry

Looked a different player

 

[RUNVS]

Oddly enough in Reid's very first game for us he played in the midfield and from memory we all got very excited with what we saw of him that day.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

Played off a wing and imposed himself on the contest. Played a huge part in our turn around.

Hope it is the making of him.

And all it took was for you to be positive! Maybe we should do this every week.

Ok
I.will win a billion dollars this week

I'm going to make a lot more off-topic posts this week

vonn maybe we can get the Anchorman images started again now that RW is temporarily powerless

 

[RW]

Haha, I think I won't bet this week, don't want to deprive others of the privilege.

 

[RW]

Not completely powerless, sig just says I won't move EVERY off-topic post. I'm happy to loosen the leash a little, but no gratuitous thread derailing.

Sir Swans Last Night

[Heeney2Franklin]

Well at least he knows he has a role in the team now.

That's the benchmark for him.

Still on notice imo big week

Can he back up a good game with a good game

Just give him time he has been played in every position so far.

It's why ive been saying dropping him is pointless.

Sir Swans Last Night

When I saw Reid wearing poo and wee

 

[Swansujelly]

he needs to string a few together. However, it all comes down to where Horse puts him, but promising stuff.

 

[Sanecow]

Will be back to normal this week. Done enough for the year.
