Stats
Bio
Recruited from Geelong Grammar, Arthur Reed was a tall teenage prospect who broke into the Pivotonians' lineup for the opening round of the 1902 season. Standing 182cm—a significant height for the turn of the century—he was immediately entrusted with a role in the senior side, missing just three games during a difficult year where Geelong finished seventh on the ladder. Although he possessed the physical attributes to develop into a long-term key position player and managed to boot two goals during his stint, Reed’s VFL career was ultimately confined to that single winter, as he departed the league shortly after his 19th birthday.
