"Helping the young guys develop is something I'm passionate about and to be able to help the Giants take the next step is an exciting challenge."

Swans coach John Longmire says forward Sam Reid has been working hard to address his goalkicking yips after a return of 27.31 so far in his career.

"I think that's what makes this club such a tight group. Everyone's in the same boat. Most guys are from interstate so when they come here they don't really know anyone outside the footy club," he said.

Shoulder surgery has ended young Western Bulldog Sam Reid's 2010 season.

Overcoming osteitis pubis and serious surgery has left young Bulldog Sam Reid with a burning desire to return to the ranks of the AFL.

"My goal is to be back by at least round nine," he said.
