Sydney Swans coach John Longmire is pleased with what he has seen from Sam Reid throughout the pre-season as he gets set for his first senior match in over 12 months.

Reid continued a promising JLT Community Series campaign, collecting 12 disposals, nine marks and a goal against St Kilda on Sunday night.

He spent most of his time up forward but also went to defence to play as a loose man.

"It was good to see him running around like that today. Obviously missing a lot of footy, we wanted to play him big minutes during the pre-season games," Longmire said.

"We've played him a whole lot during the last three weeks and he's been getting better every week."

Young gun Callum Mills sat out the second half after the Swans opted to treat him conservatively.

"He got a corkie at training in our last session. He was okay, could have kept playing, but once again, we just made sure we didn't risk him," Sydney coach John Longmire said. 

Mills came into the contest with a heavily strapped thigh.

Star onballer Dan Hannebery left the contest very late in the game after copping a hit and jogged off appearing to favour his right knee. However, Longmire said there were no other injury concerns.
