    He shouldn't play in front of any of the players that could come back in.

    The intensity and physicality of finals is a massive change to him playing Brisbane with one eye on Mad Monday.

        Agree with all above comments about Sam, but none more than this one.

        And in defence of Jesse, we were heaping similar praises on him about this time last year.

        Still, quite aside from the possibility of having a young gun-forward, I'm really tickled about the possibility of Collingwood thinking they got the wrong one
        To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!

            When Sam grows into those shoulders he is going to one impressive unit.
            How much did he look like he belonged?

                    His brother is 195cm, 99kg and Sam is 194cm, 88kg so if that is any indication, he's got growth in him.
                    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                            It is a great thought that perhaps those shoulders will become as heart fluttering as Brad's legs!

                                I was impressed with his athleticism! He seems to be more flexible in his body than say Jesse White - not that I really want to compare them. Also very solid in the air with his hands as well as quick on the ground with his hand passing. Can't wait to see him get stronger and really be able to shake off tackles and hit contests harder. As I've said before - REALLY looking forward to the next couple of years. Well done Sam!

                                    White & from what Reid has showed so far are very different players. Reid's debut was really good & I loved the way he approaches the contest & his ability tocontrol the footy. I think on that debut I would definitely keep him in the side & after all there are precedents for sides taking a rookie into a finals series, Mark "Roo" Richiuto for Adelaide for one. He is the archetypal CHF like Riewoldt etc & I thjink he will be valuable on the big ANZ where you need a proper CHF, tall, ranges that area of the ground, takes a strong mark & can kick long into the area. I am a fan after one match bring him on & we'll win on ANZ

                                        Having watched, and been impressed by, Sam Reid in the Reserves all year I was extremely happy to see him take the field against Brisbane. It was an almost perfect debut. And so very glad he wasn't promoted earlier for two reasons: physical development (he no longer looks like a coathanger) and the risk of being overfaced by tough competition. Will miss not seeing him play in the Reserves next year.

                                            Or may that he needs to spend a little less time with his hands on his hips - just from the games I've seen him play, he's a bit of a pouter.

                                            Sam Reid - what a fantastic first game. He looked as good as he has in the reserves, so must have a calm head on his impressive shoulders. Loving this team!!

                                                From my observations of LJ, I cannot agree with that at all.

                                                    Nor I.

                                                    I have no idea what his work ethic is like on the training track but on the footy oval it is usually excellent. He's had a couple of games where it has dropped off a bit (and he's been slated by the coaches) but on the whole he works far harder on the ground than I've ever seen White work.

                                                    In terms of his form over the past couple of weeks, remember that he injured his hip a few weeks ago and was initially thought to be out for the rest of the season. If he looks to be struggling a little now, it could well be because he is restricted physically.

                                                        Me either.

                                                        He has always put in and is probably doing more and more now that there are fewer and fewer full timers on the paddock. He may well need to rest his hands on hips, MickyO did so on his knees, so precident.

                                                            The one down on Sam was his defence, he was brushed aside a couple of times, which wouldn't be a problem against Carlton, but would against the rest.

                                                            Next year he is a good chance of following Hanners....back to back?

                                                            His consistency at Res level in being in the best each week gives much promise for 2011
