The 19-year-old\u2019s league debut was a day to remember, slotting four goals against the Cats in Geelong \u2014 with all four majors incredibly coming in the space of four minutes. <\/p>\n
Reid also booted four goals against Port Adelaide in the Round 11 win, and he had a career-best 23 disposals and one goal in the club\u2019s Round 20 win over West Coast. <\/p>\n
Despite playing the sometimes-undervalued small forward role with plenty of ball-winning stars around him, Reid eclipsed 18 disposals on five occasions this year; flashing an ability to play up around the ball in future years. <\/p>\n
Reid moved from his home state of Victoria to Western Australia just days after being drafted \u2014 a switch he called \u201cdefinitely interesting\u201d as he accepted the Rising Star award on Monday night. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt all happened pretty quick. You sort of get two days to wrap your head around it, and you\u2019re off straight away,\u201d Reid told Channel Seven. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was very grateful to be drafted to such a successful club, and they really wrapped their arms around me and my family and made it so easy.\u201d <\/p>\n
And quizzed on that magical AFL debut, a modest Reid said he was \u201cpretty lucky\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe weren\u2019t going too great (that day against the Cats), so we sort of had a little hot patch in that game and then fell away and lost by a fair bit … it was definitely a highlight of my year.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added at the end of his speech: \u201cIt\u2019s an honour to win the award, with such a stacked group of boys who played this year, so congratulations to all the boys who played this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Intriguingly, only one player outside of the top five actually polled votes \u2014 emerging Essendon rebounder Archie Roberts \u2014 illustrating just how narrow this year\u2019s race was. <\/p>\n
