Should we try and recruit Sam reid to the club? He is a great swingman, but due to our growing concerns we would play him down back.i I think he COULD fit nicely down back, only concern is would be capable of playing as a 2nd key defender, because when sydney play him in the backline its generally as a third tall or 'loose' man. Altohugh we have a lot of young and promising forwards we could play him up forward and he could be our second ruckman (where i personally believe he plays his best footy) but due to our stock of forwards I don't think it would be worth recruiting him as a forward.

    Isn't he always injured?

    well not necessarily as every year he has played 20+ games other then his debut year and 2013. Another good thing is i think we would be able to get him without giving up to much.

    Whilst I disagree with your idea I defend your right to put it forward. There are lots of vultures on here just waiting to swoop on the unsuspecting with their vicious, mean spirited invective. Don't let it bother you. There are all sorts of tools - some useful, some just made for hacking things apart.

    I think Sam Reid is one of those guys who never really took the next step. Consistent, but consistently average. You wonder if he would have developed more at a lower club or whether him being at the Swans makes him look better than he actually is.

    He isn't someone I would be rushing to sign.

    Woodyy I think his just always injured and I don't think we should take the  risk

    no thanks. Let's see what Frosty turns into first 

    Let's hope the coaches give Frosty a block of games down back to prove his worth.

    Reid's been injured all year.

    I seriously doubt Sydney would entertain the option of trading him.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
