Stats
Bio
Reynolds Webb was a diminutive rover and forward who graduated from the local Collingwood District side to become a consistent senior performer in the early 1920s. Standing just 170cm, he relied on his agility and goal sense to impact contests, often drifting forward to hit the scoreboard as part of the Magpies' following division. He was a fixture in the side during a frustrating "near-miss" era for the club, notably playing in the losing Grand Finals of 1922 and 1925. Though he represented the VFL against New South Wales in 1925, his timing proved unfortunate; he departed Victoria Park at the end of the 1926 season, narrowly missing the start of the famous "Machine" era that would deliver four consecutive premierships immediately following his exit.
