Murphy Reid (born 30 July 2006) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
In the Talent League Reid played for Sandringham Dragons, winning the 2023 and 2024 premierships. [1] In 2024, Reid impressed for Vic Metro in the AFL U18 Championships where he averaged 24.5 disposals, [1] won the best and fairest, and earned All-Australian honours. [2] [3]
After being selected by Fremantle at pick 17 in the 2024 national draft Reid was chosen to be the first player to wear the number 16 guernsey after the retirement of club games record holder David Mundy in 2022. [4] Reid impressed in the pre-season intraclub match kicking a goal and showing composure with the ball in hand. [5] [6] Furthermore stating his case for a debut in round 1 of the season, Reid was selected in the 'purple' line-up ahead of more experienced midfielders Matthew Johnson, Neil Erasmus and Will Brodie. One of the best parts of the game for Reid was when he evaded two tacklers at a centre bounce and then gave the ball to teammate Caleb Serong for a running goal on the edge of the centre square which he slotted.
