    I thought it was about the market on him scoring 1st goal. I just had a lazy $20 on it at $15.

      His ability to mark the ball is fantastic and at 19!!!!!!! Bulk him up a bit, get 50 games into him, improve his long kicking and yv got another BBH, without the agggro or the suspensions

        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 down

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

              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.
              The sort of mark skinny old Sean Wren used to take for Adelaide on a regular basis. The boy is good and can only get better and is turning into a star. He will get his kicking right in the end I am sure.

                I fear this is the biggest danger that we have with Reid, if there is a danger at all.

                God I hope he stays.

                  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.

                    After a season of FIGJAM the harbour city might look appealing the other way I suspect.

                      Yep, Collingwood must be @@@@ting themselves over the prospect of losing Ben!

                        That could work both ways though, Sammy could be on the phone to his brother selling the Sydney lifestyle

                          Yes, you are right and the glass is half full. It would be good to fit Ben down back.

                            I'd like that. And from reports, their mum likes us too. You never know.

                              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.

                                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?
