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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
