    I think it is now either Reid to the backline or out the door.

    Now the offer has been increased to 9 years for $10 million.

    That would knock out the Hawks matching counter offer.

    I believe the last 2 years will cover costs of a zimmer frame.

    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    I disagree Dosser! In my opinion Buddy will be playing as an inside midfielder - breaking into space! Reid and Tippett will be the forward line with Adam Goodes to provide assistance!

    Longmire, Clarkson and Liam Pickering are all good friends. I think this is an amicable arrangement that suits everyone's needs.

    I believe he is planning to take up greyhound breeding and racing as well as boxing lessons.

    He will be the answer to every forward problem we have ever had.

    Well if $10mil over 9 years is true that's crazy! Quite a mortgage to place on our future. Really gotta make the most of the P'ship window!!!

    I cannot understand why everyone wants to bag Reid. I reckon he is a gun! In a couple of years time he could be a real force in the AFL (maybe Buddy like). Can someone tell me why the Buddy deal has not been announced on the Swans web site? Or maybe this is a big ploy to piss off Eddie! revenge for his early season Ape remark!

    I really hope this doesnt eventuate, good player but not needed at our club, does this mean we change gameplan all over again, and we signed Reid to a 5 year deal as a forward have our plans changed that quickly due to injury? Absolute joke, no way we will be able to keep all our midfielders in years to come.

    I feel a bit Ill about this. I know there's a majority on here who will voice support for anything and everything the club does but this just seems a really bizarre move to me. I can't get my head around it, regardless of how good Buddy is, surely a team with a list such as ours doesnt need to be chucking a huge chunk of their salary cap at another marquee forward after gaining one just last year?

    Surely, our great club and it's administration have gained the full support and trust of all supporters. If they want Buddy at the Swans, so do I. End of story.

    Me too. How many blokes 6' 71 do we need? Maybe Sam Reid wants to go home??? The silence from the club is very similar to this time last year when the Tippet story broke
