Throughout the 2011 season, Swans centre half-forward Sam Reid had to cope with tight defensive cover from the opposition’s best backman  week in, week out.

Now Sam is being tagged again, but this time it’s by SwansTV as we try to give you an insight into the players’ gruelling pre-season schedule.

They’re all saying it’s tougher than ever this year, so we captured every grimace on Sam’s face to let you see for yourself.

Over the last week, we followed Sam around and captured the promising 19-year old working on his skills in glorious conditions at Sydney’s Lakeside Oval, sweating it out in the gym, and recovering at Clovelly Beach and with a massage.



A player’s week isn’t all sweat though, and we were able to tag Sam during his downtime at the club as well. Whether it was going for lunch with teammates, in team meetings, or lining up against 12-year-olds in the Swans’ Challenge Cup, Sam’s week was jam-packed and we were there to bring it all to you.
