’s outstanding athleticism and strong contested grab make him a genuine threat inside 50. The 2012 premiership forward showed exactly that when he booted six goals in the Sydney Swans’ clash with Collingwood in Mark Grook at the SCG to win the 2019 Goodes-O’Loughlin Medal. The 2009 draftee can also play as a loose man in defence or pinch-hit in the ruck. Reid has had very little luck on the injury front in his time in red and white, but he didn’t miss an AFL match in 2019. He’s played 143 career games at the top level for a return of 154 goals.

No one who we have delisted in the past 2 seasons would be in the team right now.

If it's a long term thing and he can't make it back then we will have a spot in the mid season draft.

It's really not that big of a deal if retaining him for another year doesn't amount to anything.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Such a longer road back at his age, Father Time catches all of us. If this is the end of the road, He’s been a loyal servant, just keep your eyes on your fries if you’re near him though.

 

[J_Moore]

I still think he’ll play this year

(And he’ll be good)

What would that mean in terms of salary? He used to be on a pretty decent contract when we re-signed him in his early 20's. No idea now at 32 and injury prone

I reckon with these last couple of contracts, he'd be one of the lowest paid at the club.
Fingers crossed he gets on the park at some stage this year (though my optimism is fading fast), as a fit and firing Sam Reid is an absolute bonus to our team.

Incredible servant of the club, great career. But it’s time.

He’ll still be recovering from that well into his 40s and 50s

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Sort of inevitable this might happen his body has been shot for the last two years but I can understand keeping him on as a rookie. Would be good cover for any of the three forwards and if Grundy went down McLean could go first ruck and Reid chop out.
Hopefully he does get a few VFL games under him so we do have some coverage going into finals.

Would you or anyone support giving him a contract for 2025?
