Re: Sam Reid
Anyone have info on how he is tracking?
Seems like the forgotten man in all the midfield talk lately, hoping he can have a big 2011.Comment

Re: Sam Reid
Had a chat with Sam Reid at the BF. He has had his surgery on both shoulders and everything looks good in that department. He is raring to start preseason training, after he returns from a short holiday.

Re: Sam Reid
Just watched the replay V carlton. Having not seen much of him, enjoyed watching him get into it.
Almost had a great goal. A very committed player with good balance and a penetrating kick. Loves contested footy. any comments for Reid after the Blues game?You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day.

Re: Sam Reid
I really hate being critical of Reid because of I admire how hard he has worked and all that but outside of the romance, I really don't think he is up to the rigours of AFL footy.
I thought he was actually quite disclipined on Yarran (or tried to be) but he just doesn't do enough for mine. Boy do I hope I am wrong, obviously for the Dogs chances but even more for him. I'd love to see him succeed.Comment

Re: Sam Reid
If we lose Ward we may need him to step up. It really is too early to tell IMO. Hopefully he can string a few games together and we will know more about him by years end.Comment

Re: Sam Reid
Watched the game again, he did quite well, even though he didnt get much of the ball. He always put pressure on and seemed to want to get the ball or stop an opponent from getting itComment

Re: Sam Reid
Am I way off or was he actually a defensive forward on Scotland in the first quarter before Scotland was moved up the field? If so, that's a massive win for use as he is our Gilbee circa 09 (with Yarren being our Harbrow).Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: Sam Reid
I thought he had a defensive Forward role. That is why I was not concerned about his stats. If we continue to play him our forward press will continue to improve with Hoops and Dahlhaus adding to the implied pressure.Comment

Re: Sam Reid
I thought he was played out of position against Carlton.
You can clearly see that he had more possesions playing off a wing in less than a quarter against Melbourne than he did for 3 quarters against Carlton playing up forward.
Also the nature of the game against Carlton was that not many of our forwards had many disposals. Hooper, Dahlhaus, Reid, Gia, Grant and Hall all didn't have a lot of it.
I don't think picking out Reid is very fair.
In my opinion Reid isn't a natural forward and has really only played as an inside midfielder or a tagger at Williamstown. We need to use him in a position that he knows, or at least trial him in that role at Willy first if you want it to work.
While Reid hasn't established himself as a starting midfielder in the dogs lineup yet, perhaps try using him in bursts. Reid can hit the packs hard and he loves laying big tackles at the stoppages. Give him a shot at it a few times in the game at least so he can throw the cat amongst the pigeons so to speak. Perhaps when the opposition start to read our plays and shut down Cooney and Griffen, throw Reid in there to change things around because i think he could be used well in these situations until he can improve his game to feature more often.Comment
