Sam Reid

[Tomnat Tigers]

Far far better option than Schache. Plays higher up the ground and can ruck, which should allow one of Caddy/Martin/Cotch to always be 1 out in the goal square, which to be is a lot better than having a tall in the goal square given if the ball does go to ground they are lot quicker at following up.

Mind you I'm real down of Schache. Gives far less effort than Tyrone Vickery and we don't need another Tyrone.

He has said before he wants to stay at Sydney. Has this changed with Sydney's slide down the ladder?

Would be happy to have him regardless. Would give us another much needed tall scoring threat along with Jack.

The last time he played well was when Sydney gave him that 5 year deal.

You miss the game where he kicked 6 against the Dogs?

Probably, Sydney games are shit to watch. Was that this year? Which was my point, he has played well in contract years.

So who has the better list now???

I would pay Reid and extra $100K a year just say he chose us over the Pies because after thinking about it for quite a bit
he thought Richmond had the better list.
Also he didn't want to play with a Midfielder who butchers the ball so much while he tries to lead onto them from the forward line.

I'm thinking this is mostly just a media beat up.

Look at player who is FA, look at clubs who would like that sort of player, pick the one that will gain the most clicks and make shit up to link them.


If by chance we are looking at him though, talk to him sure, but I wouldn't make any commitments until later in the year...See how his form/injuries hold up.

Comment made earlier was a good one, swans would be smart to let him slide to FA and ace a r1/2 pick for him , I know hawk fans that regret their club not doing same with Breust

Was me.
This is what happens when you finish at the bottom. No signing someone can benefit the club immensely.
Stupid really but if Martin was to leave and we win the flag we get pick 19.
Reid leaves and Swans finish last they get pick 2.

It makes sense not re-sign players that other clubs may need more than you do as they will always pay overs hence increasing your compo

 

[Infamy]

$600-650k won't be enough for a Round 1 compo though, maybe an end of Round 1

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

True all that, but it kinda looks monumental when soe were talking up Griffiths' career high 14 goal season.

True but Griffiths best seasons are 16, 13 and 13 games. Reid put up those shitty numbers in 20+ game seasons. He's been slightly better and slightly more durable than griff.

 

[captain blood 17]

Astbury to CHF and persue Trengrove from Port to be our CHB. Or Nank to CHF and we persue another ruck.


Send from my ipad with righteous man power.

 

[Goldust]

Astbury to CHF is a no-brainer

 

[Slipps]

I like it.
Keep the draft picks.

I would also target Trengove from Port. Keep winning and we wont have to pay overs. Finally we could become a destination club.

Dont think he gets along with alot of richmond players not sure he would feel comfortable coming to richmond

Must think Richmond players are a lot of poo-bums then does he? Paid enough money he'll get to like em. Kick enough goals and everyone will love him!

I agree with WT Reid has played 103 games for 105 goals,7 years in the sydney system which has played finals so roughly 100 games from a possible 150
averages 1 goal a game. Tyrone has better numbers and filled a relief ruck role. Would we want Tyrone back for $600k ?

No from me

Played a lot in defence.

 

[Cotcho]

I think waiting until at least half way through the season...or better the end is probably the best idea before making this judgment call. If we were 0-5 would people be happy with paying for a FA Forward @ 600k? Not saying either way. Just seems that topping up at a price seems great when you're winning. How far are we from being a legitimate threat?

 

[TheAnt]

Was hoping Hawthorn did so shit that they'd consider trading Gunston to get back in the draft.

Sadly they're not that stupid.

From The AFL Update:


Richmond are a likely destination for Sydney free agent Sam Reid, according to Jay Clark.

Clark suggested the Tigers could secure Reid for around $600,000 per season.

Good fit at the Tigers?

Which one is it, we are a or the destination
Further more is this just Clark suggesting this could happen without any concrete sources or does he have legit info.

Are you doubting Jay Clark's journalistic integrity? (sorry to speak in oxymoron's just then)

Yes

 

[Phar Ace]

Yes

I sense indecision in that answer

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

just needs 6 games in a row.
