She couldn't speak highly enough of the Swans and the way they had looked after both 'her boy' and the parents as well. She was loathe to criticise Collingwood, but it was plain to see that they were much more impressed with the way the Swans went about things in regards to young player management. I guess that means sfa in the long term scheme of things, but it was quite apparent that homesickness wasn't a factor.
Maybe we could get Sam's mum to talk Ben into coming up here? Get the brothers together, no home sickness then. Problem fitting him into our backline unless someone goes downYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

A bit of advice for Reid on goal kicking from LJ in this week's Ask A Swan!

I keep watching it over and over and it just keeps getting better.
Big pack flies and Sam, looking huge, just flies from behind scattering players like nine pins. Comes down with the ball, clean one grab mark. Looks injured but shakes himself off and gets up.
It's what I'd call an old fashion pack mark of the type that Wayne Carey and Gary Ablett used to take. Not a a classic speccy, but a pack busting fly showing strength, judgement and timing.
This kid is seriously good. I hope he plays for us for his whole career, but whatever happens, we are going to see many more wonderful things from Sam over his career.Comment

We all know that it is illegal for another club to approach a contracted player, but of course there is nothing wrong with one brother chatting to another, so I sense big danger.Comment

That could work both ways though, Sammy could be on the phone to his brother selling the Sydney lifestyleChillin' with the strange QuarksComment

I'm just really hoping Ben gets a niggle next year, is in and out of the team, Nathan Brown and Keefe cement a spot, Collingwood make the GF and Ben can't crack the team. Meanwhile, our Sammy starts to really dominate, Big Bro's not happy with his treatment, gets on the phone to mum who suggests the Swans might be a good fit, Sam sells it to Ben, who walks out on the Pies, telling them it's Sydney or the PSD, and we get him for a second rounder.
Suck that you Jolly-stealing scum.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Not sure if the article has been linked here, but one of the Melbourne papers had a story about the old man who played 86 games for the Dogs but was moved on by the new coach Bluey Hampshire and went on to play for the Blues after that. 14 games short of having Ben & Sam as F/S choices - ouch! What would the Dogs give for those two right now?Comment
