Why not? He has been thrown around!
Poor Reggie!
He's a Swan again in 2019 with Macca.
I'll just enjoy their loyalty & others won't.
The rest is just one big side show with guys trying to earn as much as they can knowing not many of them will be able to earn too much when "the Dream" is over in 1 or 8 years.

So what you are saying is that Longmire is finding ways to motivate our veteran players?

Playing coach?
Possibly but he is still playing decent football. He was our best defender on the weekend.
Plus Melican has decided to hop on board the Reid injury prone express train. Hopefully Melican's problems are isolated to this season but Grundy is worth keeping on our list next year as insurance.
Smith is still defending just fine as well. An article about 6 weeks ago had him miles ahead in the defensive stats for small defenders in the comp.
Yes we look old in defence with Smith, Grundy and McVeigh but until they are clearly being forced out of the 22 or they have a clear drop off in form, then it's worth giving them contracts.

Great decision to give him another year
I'm sure the contract is reduced and he probavly wont play all games.. but we need the experience and backup

Retirements happen all the time in footy but there's genuine sadness about this one for me. But also genuine pride that he played for our club and had a bloody outstanding career.

Champion. Never gave less than 100%. Rock solid, no nonsense old fashioned defender holding the fort down back for years. Thanks Reg,

Absolutely right. 2017 in particular was inexcusable.
Thanks for the memories Reg. I remembered he kicked 3 goals for us at the SCG when he started out as a forward.
