Sam Reid

Re: Sam Reid

His only problem i think is realizing he is good enough to be there, looks a bit shy or overawed at times.
Once he gets a few more games up and feels a part of the side and more confidence about being good enough he will be a very good player.

If for some reason he doesn't get the confidence, with those shoulbers, back and biceps he could become a professional sporting axe-man. The boy is a tank.

Re: Sam Reid

7 tackles - same as Selwood. Only Ward (10!) had more atckles than Sammy last night. Thought he held a couple of tough marks too which was a positive sign.

I just worry that there is a little of Cam Faulkner in him, in that he can get the hard ball, but not as great as getting the easy ball. Part of this might come down to getting a bigger fitness base up so he can run a bit harder to receive.

If we have to play a defensive forward option, I'd have him in ahead of Addison.

Re: Sam Reid

That handball to Cooney under pressure from two Geelong players, was class.

Re: Sam Reid

I would like to see him re-sign and compete with Mitch for a spot at full strength. IN the modern game you need to play multiple positions, and Hahn can't do much than forward. Reid has size and body strength in the early mould of Hahn and can play on-ball too. I like the look of him, and i hope he sees a decent future here.

I was thinking this too last night watching him play. His body size and increasing strength as he matures is gong to be a real bonus for us. He has the footy smarts and seems to always run to the right place. He is still learning, but I do like the way he plays!

Thanks TCD for update. Good news indeed. Did you get that from an inside source or has it now been released publicly ?

Re: Sam Reid

Thanks TCD, I like the way Sam goes about it and he doesnt seem to be out of his league in the big time.

Re: Sam Reid

Forgot to mention that his groin injury was very serious & he's had major surgery & wont really be up & about until April, so they're only looking at the 2nd half of 2010 for Sam.

Re: Sam Reid

I hope Sam doesn't end up as one of these players that have loads of potential but has bad luck with injuries. I really like what I've seen so far, so I hope after this groin he has good luck for the future and the Dogs reap the rewards.
