Very injury prone and although he would be handy, I'm not convinced the price will fit the output.  

Lever from Adelaide is the one

    The problem is the Gawn/Watts combination does take quite a bit from our forwardline. If Weideman comes on quicker than expected and provides Hogan the chop out when Watts doesn't because he's rucking, then I think it becomes one of the best combinations in the league.

    Right now though, Watts is too valuable for our forwardline and playing him in the ruck feels bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul. That said, I have been a massive fan of the move in general, as it gets Jack into the game and forces him to work on his physicality. 

    Meanwhile Pedersen should be able to keep Weideman's position filled quite adequately

    Maybe in terms of trading, Reid would come as a FA.

    He would still get a high salary

    yes but lever fills a different need.

    may not be as high as you think. he wouldn't be on much coin at swans and his injury record/games played keeps a lid on it

    Not convinced of that, several clubs would be interested and he is still only 25

    depends what you call high. we payed 400k for melksham who definitely wasn't a star, so paying $500 or a little more wouldn't be high.  now, if you then factor in the new incoming pay deal for all players and consequent increased salary cap, 600k may not be a "high" price. 750k i think would be too high but i can't see reid getting offered that elsewhere, but i could be wrong

    reid has been on $500k a year for the last five years, having signed a what was then 'mega-deal' as a 19 year old who'd just played a key role in a premiership-winning side.

    25 year old free agent chf's down appear that often; he'll command closer to $750-900k a year to land from the swans.

    he is extremely injury-prone and pretty inconsistent for mine.

    At that price, i'd steer clear.

    I doubt Sydney will be able to afford him at that price either. I would say a worth of 600-700k is more realistic. Swans may not be able to even afford that price either.

    750k? I had to check and re-check that we're talking about Sam Reid from Sydney here. What are these figures based on? 

    He's mediocre at best. Signing a player like Reid for good money could hurt a teams moral. Look what signing Vickery did to Hawthorn.

    Would Reid command 750k?

     

    In my book Reid's wage plus Lewis's wage = Fyfe's.

     

     

    Fyfe can do anything Reid can do forward.  And we know what he can do in the tardis.

     

     

     

     

    The Saints are coming.

    I don't think Hawthorn's drop in form can be 100% attributed to acquiring Vickery, but I really hope it is for the sheer comedy value.

    Vickery as some sort of team-killing plague bearer is hilarious, particularly if he's offloaded to several other teams before he retires.

    Then he can go into coaching and infect some more clubs.

    It also makes Richmond ground zero. Bahahahahaahahahaha

    well i doubt anyone will pay that much, simply because he's not worth that much (given his injury record), unless you could wrap a good percentage of that into a performance based component even then it'd be overs

    When you factor in that $500k will become the new $750k, plus you've got to prise him out of Sydney, it'll take an offer of some sort to shake him free.

    If we could get him for $500k under the new CBA he'd be 'cheap' - apart from the whole being so injury-prone and inconsistent thing.

    I'd much rather we chase Lever but considering that Reid will come 'free'...well...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
