Overview

• Murphy Reid polled eight votes from coaches Justin Longmuir and Andrew McQualter to tie as best on ground with Hayden Young in the Western Derby.
• He recorded 23 disposals, 15 score involvements and kicked one goal in Fremantle’s Optus Stadium win.
• His six score assists made him the youngest player to reach that mark in a match since the statistic’s introduction in 2003.
• Sportsbet has slashed his odds from $10 to $5, positioning him behind only Adelaide’s Daniel Curtin in Rising Star betting.
• Reid’s season tally of 19 goals and 30 score assists through 19 games matches Cyril Rioli’s debut-season assist pace.
