A half back flanker or back pocket who marked strongly and could kick a good distance, Gordon Reid might have enjoyed a much longer VFL career had he not sustained a serious knee injury. As it was, he played 56 games from 1965 to 1967 and between 1969 and 1972. His stay at home nature is reflected in his failure to kick a single goal during his career.
