The Swans have claimed a famous win over the Dees by 12 points at the MCG. It's Melbourne's second loss in a row after winning the previous 17 games AFL agerealfooty
Sydney forward Sam Reid was one of the best on ground, and he spoke to Channel Seven after the game...A: It’s been pretty good. I mentioned before I’m feeling better the older I get. I’m training more than I ever have. I’ve been able to get plenty of work in during the week and got a full pre-season in. It’s been good, feeling good.
Q: The key is Melbourne’s strength, when there’s a slow play, their ability to win the footy back. You were able to stop that. You got stoppages all the way down the line. A: It’s not ideal to get in those situations. We have a lot of belief in this group. The confidence that the guys like Justin McInerney bring to the team. There’s massive efforts. Errol Gulden, Mills, no matter what situation we are in, we will get the win.
Q: Your record at the MCG is remarkable. Your record against the Demons I think is 15 wins of the last 19. A: That’s the growth in the team. We’ve spoken about moments and just like a couple of spoils from McCartin going 30m in the last quarter, a couple of weeks ago trying to mark it, just the spoil shows that authority. Errol is unbelievable from the congestion. The mids winning the contest. They’re one of the best teams in the last five, 10 years. To get that win with Buddy Franklin sitting back home, I don’t know if he’ll get back into the team.
