Yes, why not add another ageing key forward to either Casey or the rehab group? 😒

    Great player when he can get on the park.

    Unfortunately it's not very often, that's why he's available.

    Would always murder us at every opportunity Sam Reid, If im not mistaken kicked 7 against us and did plenty of damage.

    Extremely injury prone the lad is unfortunately, do we really need another body that can't stand the rigours of AFL footy?

    I can imagine a player in his stage of career may not be too keen to change location, and if he has managed his money throughout a long career, might prefer to retire than relocate to a new club.

    Interesting take from Gerard Healy - wonder if we have actually approached Sam.

     

    What a ridiculous statement.  Our list spots are tight and we have BBB and Tmcd in the rehab ward every week to try to manage them.  Sam Reid would be in the same group of ageing injured forwards.  Good player when he was fit but not anymore.

    Unfortunately has always struggled with injury 'norm'...but a very good player when he could get on the park.

    He's one that would have been a champion I believe.

    Kind of a Luke Jackson but one that could mark and play any position on the ground.

    I rate Sam Reid when's he up and going. He had a decent 2022 and destroyed us/Tomlinson in a mid season game at the G.

    Had we made the hard (but probably correct) call in forcing BBB or T Mac into retirement given they're both in their last year under contract, I'd have contemplated Reid as a back up. However at the same time that would be hypocritical given we would have just replaced one injury prone player with another.

    • 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.
