Sam Reid

[Woodyy 26]

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.

Just an older Sam Frost.

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

Frosty kind of reminds me of this guy. He's so lucky to have a premiership medallion.

In all seriousness, this isn't such a bad idea!!

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

Don't have to justify it dude, it's good to have some different thoughts on here. A break from the same old crew scratching and moaning at each other.

Reid's been injured all year.

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

It would be great to recruit the grandson of our terrific, tough full-back of the 1950's, Keith Carroll.

But I know I'm too much of a sentimentalist.
