Sam Reid (born 27 December 1991) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted to Sydney with the 38th selection in the 2009 AFL draft,[1] becoming a third generation footballer at AFL/VFL level. His grandfather Bruce Reid senior played for Footscray, his father Bruce Reid, for Footscray and Carlton[2] and his uncle John Reid for Melbourne, Footscray and Sydney. He is also the younger brother of Collingwood premiership player Ben Reid.[2][3]

Reid made one senior appearance in his first season at the Swans, making his debut in Round 22, 2010 against the Brisbane Lions he finished the match with 13 disposals, 8 marks and a goal.[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]

2012 proved to be an up and down year personally for Reid as he continued to come to terms with the greater attention thrust his way from experienced defenders. He kicked a career high 6 goals against Brisbane Lions at the SCG during a season which culminated with him being part of the Swans' premiership side. He kicked one goal in the 2012 AFL Grand Final victory over Hawthorn Hawks.
