Overview

• Reid polled 48 of a possible 50 votes from the judges' 5-4-3-2-1 system, finishing ahead of Adelaide’s Dan Curtin, with Brisbane’s Levi Ashcroft third.
• He played all 24 games, averaged more than 14 disposals, and announced himself with four third-quarter goals on debut against Geelong.
• The 19-year-old became Fremantle’s fourth Rising Star recipient, joining Paul Hasleby (2000), Rhys Palmer (2008) and Caleb Serong (2020).
• The AFL lists him with 25 goals and 22 goal assists, while other outlets report higher score-assist tallies, leading to debate over a first-year mark previously linked to Cyril Rioli.
• He had already been named the AFLPA Best Young Player, reflecting strong peer recognition before the Rising Star win.
