Round 22: Saints and Swans

[Triple B]

Not much mention of Sam Reids game yesterday. Among a host of good players I thought he was right up there. If he can keep up a run of form into the finals he is the kind of weapon which can really help us go a long way into Sept/Oct ...

The pleasing thing about Reid is that he putting together whole games week in week out at a high level now.. What I liked about yesterdays game was there were no real passengers that I can think of..

I thought Sam was fantastic. He's really starting to read the play well and doing a great job of just knowing the spots he needs to get to, I think the time spent as a utility playing all around the ground has been fantastic for him; some forwards deliver perfect passes going into forward 50 because they know where they would want the ball to be kicked to themselves, but Sam seems to me like he's taken a slightly different learning path of time spent out of the forward line has made him realise where he would want a forward to be. A minor thing- but for defenders I feel like he's gone from providing a bail out kick option on the wing (coach-drilled-in behaviour) to starting to also work towards being open a little more and providing a better true marking option on the wing (player-learned-experience behaviour).
