i rate Reid massively and his SWINGMAN role is working for the team right now
unfortunately in life we so often stare so hard at faults we cant always see the positives...........is that not seeing the trees through the forest or the forest through the trees ??
Reid for me is ahead of most players in the AFL at the same height, weight, age and role.
To put it in perspective how many 22yr olds in a Key possie forward or back role at his height and weight are killing it in the comp? Reid if he played one of the 3 talls in defence would do it easy week in week out in my opinion
Reid is in the top 5 players for his height, weight and age......... and if we asked every player with similar stats to play as a CHF or FF every week for the last couple of years it would be arguable that he is still in the top 3 ie Cameron, Darling, Reid.........even though Reid is 4th target to Buddy, Tippett and Goodes which is a massive disadvantage for Reid to score goals
Jeremy Cameron stands out obviously and is a step above most
Tom Lynch another at almost 22yrs of age would is doing a great job also
Jack Darling at 22yrs of age also is a very exciting forward but a lot shorter and a different role i feel but still doing very well for his age when not injured
