Sam Reid’s outstanding athleticism and strong contested grab make him a genuine threat inside 50. The 2012 premiership forward showed exactly that when he booted six goals in the Sydney Swans’ clash with Collingwood in Mark Grook at the SCG to win the 2019 Goodes-O’Loughlin Medal. The 2009 draftee can also play as a loose man in defence or pinch-hit in the ruck. While injury sidelined the veteran athlete in the 2022 Grand Final against the Geelong Cats, the 31-year-old is back in a one-year contract extension with the Swans. He’s played 181 career games at the top level for a return of 183 goals.
