’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.

Yep agree with all your points.

I'm glad you also agree it was just something stuck in my. Thankyou.

 

[SwansLakeside]

Thanks for posting this Sean.
And I agree with the comments by the posters above.

Rehab is a lonely place. And Alex Johnson before him.

We can be proud of our club, and the people in it.

 

[monopoly19]

Imagine how impactful it is to have the same coach from 17-32 yrs. Not many of us would have that kind of influence outside of our family as adults. Easy to see why they both got choked up.

 

[dosser]

I noticed that the flags at several KFC drive-thrus were at half mast today.

 

[SM]

I have perhaps the most unique memory of Reid's debut that I have of any of our players. Was watching our game against the Lions in 2010 in the Walkabout Pub in Shepherd's Bush thinking boy did we have a player, the way he clunked marks and moved around the ground. Shattered that he's come out the other end finishing up the way he has. Never really fulfilled the potential that seemed to be there on day one, but he's had a brilliant career all the same.

 

[Swan4Life]

I wont lie, I shed a tear watching that. Seems like a ripping fella our Sam.

He can be proud of his career no doubt, but oh what might have been if it weren't for an unreliable body and occasional goalkicking yips.

Thanks Sam!

The magnificence of our footy club summed up in a video right there. While we all strive for perfection on the park and Premierships, I am so proud of our club and the way that most (not all - nothing is perfect) walk out of the club as better people and grow as people while they are at the club. Every part of the club deserves credit for that - but an enormous amount of that credit has to go to Horse as well.

 

[Punts]

what game is was it that he tore Carlisle aparrt?

Pre season match ??

 

[Swan4Life]

That six goal game against Collingwood is burnt into my brain. He was clunking and kicking everything that night. Shame we lost a close one.

Gee whiz, when he was on he was really hard to stop.

EDIT - he will be doing a lap of honour at half time of the Umpdogs game. I will definitely be standing up and giving him a big round of applause

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Farewell lap of honour for Sam today

 

[Chaisa]

Two beltings in a row since he retired.

Coincidence? I think not.

 

[The King!]

Reid would make no difference , he never did

I don't know about that.
If we never had Reid then 72341565 would never have posted on here.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Point of order:

Should this thread now be amended to Retired? Delisted?

Or are Sam’s playing days not yet officially over?

 

[DavyRed]

Going to have to disagree with you on this one, mate. Don’t let his injuries detract from the fact that when he was fit and firing he offered a genuine, strong and productive forward option for us.

Will agree to disagree but he is done now anyway.

And a true utility player

 

[DavyRed]

And a true utility player

Correct, remember how he was thrown into the ruck and even the backline on occasion. I was as frustrated as everyone else with his injuries but always rated him when he was fit and able to play.
