’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.

Sam was looking like having one of his best finals ever before getting injured. Lucky for us Mason Cox

got subbed out to balance it out

 

[Borgan]

a good sign is is that it looked like the physios were trying to massage his adductor to see if he could get back, doubt they’d be doing that with a significant strain, so fingers crossed it’s tightness but if it’s a low grade strain, would be a very big risk to take into the granny

 

[Dk007]

Do you reckon they can jab him for the gf?

 

[Kapers]

Reckon we play him next week with Amartey as the sub

 

[MF]

If we could I would risk it. Especially with a medical sub

 

[MF]

I'll be gutted for him if he misses the grand final. He has 2012 I guess but he's been immense this year and deserves a flag

Yeah. Cox out when we lost Sam was a freaking godsend.

 

[Millky95]

Didn't realise how much he was keeping Moore accountable until he went off. Moore having that bit extra freedom allowed them to rebound so much better.

 

[The King!]

he will be right

 

[Tesla Tenet]

Adductor is a power muscle, don't think a jab will help it.

Quietly turned into one of the most important players in the comp

it was far more than that ... with reid as a genuine mobile marking focal point in attack and a better-than-useful back-up ruck, we were clearly the better side

 

[Borgan]

If it’s a strain, it will be so tough considering you’re using your adductors for kicking, sprinting, change of direction etc. Fingers crossed it’s more like tighness and they thought with a 30pt margin to sub him off to prevent something worse. If a strain I think I’d rather Amartey, it just sucks as Reid has been playing out of his skin this year

 

[CheapCharlie]

Reid is in hot form and is super important to us.
The hard truth is that if there is any chance he is not 100% for the GF and the injury might recur, he has to be left out

Agreed. I hope like hell whatever it is was minor. The fact they considered putting him back on the field as he was doing run throughs on the sideline does give me hope.

Hoping it was tight and simply a case of if we leave him out there he will strain/tear it which would take him out of the game anyway so better to ice it and hope we get up.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Given his history of soft tissue injuries, I'd say he's a long shot to be available.......

It's not as bad as you would think.

I do a sport that requires a lot of burst speed from my legs and have a shocking right abductor muscle.

Usually after a strain it's bad for 3-4 days, but with light movement it frees up and is operational, some pain but it doesn't stop your movement or strength.

 

[the hypnotoad]

at least it's not his hamstrings or knee-related ... that, for a start, is reason to be hopeful

 

[Jewelsbon]

Hands up those who thought we'd be not only playing in the GF this year
BUT
sweating on a fit Sam Reid

for said GF?

 

[The King!]

what time is he at the doctor ? can visitors go with ?

 

[GoTheSwannies]

make sure you livestream it for us!

 

[WillHayward]

Has been epic this season. Huge loss. Really worries me.

Also makes Ladhams brain explosions more damaging as he'd be the obvious replacement.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I know absolutely nothing about adductor injuries, but I really hope Sammy gets up for the GF. He's been really important for us this year and deserves to be there if the team win the premiership.
