[4] In 2011, Reid played all but one game and consistently displayed his athleticism and contested marking ability while playing in one of the most difficult positions on the field, at centre half-forward. In round 12, he was nominated for the 2011 AFL Rising Star after a strong performance against Richmond in which he kicked 2 goals and 5 behinds. [5] Reid showed enormous promise during his first full season in the AFL and was rewarded with Swans Rising Star Award at the club's end of year awards night. [6]

He kicked a career-high 6 goals against Brisbane Lions at the SCG during a season that culminated with him being part of the Swans' premiership side. He kicked one goal in the 2012 AFL Grand Final victory over Hawthorn Hawks.
