It all started early on in the final term when Eagles players, including Reid, remonstrated with Horne-Francis after he pushed down on Jack Hutchinson while the wingman was lying on the ground.
West Coast players dragged Horne-Francis off their teammate before Reid came charging in and pushed the Port Adelaide player to the ground.
Minutes later, Reid was penalised for a throw in forward 50, which saw Horne-Francis mock and mimic his rival.
The pair then came face-to-face and shoved each other as Port Adelaide forward Ollie Lord dragged his teammate away.

“It’s like they are looking in the mirror a bit,” commentator Anthony Hudson said.
“You get the feeling they are going to be at each other for the next decade,” Dermott Brereton added.
As Travis Boak lined up to kick a goal from the resulting free kick, Reid could be seen continuing to yell at Horne-Francis.
While their pair continued to get in each other’s faces, Horne-Francis had the last laugh with two last-quarter goals.
After nailing his second, which put the Power up by 26 points, Horne-Francis targeted Reid with his celebration.
This time, there was no rebuttal from Reid as the result was beyond doubt.
Horne-Francis, who kicked three goals in the win, played down the exchange after the match.
“There was a bit of heat in it at the end there, which I like a little bit and I know a few of their players like as well,” Horne-Francis said.
“It’s all part of the game. It’s all in good spirit.”
Reid was arguably West Coast’s best player with 27 disposals, six clearances and a goal, but was undisciplined in giving away six free kicks.
The Power trailed by 33 points in the opening quarter before rallying to a 12.15 (87) to 9.6 (61) victory at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
Zak Butters, whose 38 disposals featured 14 in the first term, was brilliant as Port booted the last five goals of the game to triumph.
The Power, who lost captain Connor Rozee to a hand injury, kicked the opening goal of the match but didn’t hit the front again until early in the final term.
West Coast produced their highest-scoring quarter under first-year coach Andrew McQualter, booting 6.3 to 2.2 in the opening term.
The Eagles flourished with a 17-8 inside-50 dominance on a day when it was announced their midfielder Jack Graham had been suspended by the AFL for four matches for a homophobic slur against an opponent.
West Coast’s 25-point lead at quarter-time prompted stern words from Power coach Ken Hinkley to his players.
But the Eagles, after a superb Liam Baker goal when the ex-Tiger had two disposals in the chain and then converted with a third, were still four goals up midway through the second stanza.
The tide then turned, with Port scoring two quick majors to creep within eight points.
But late set-shot misses from Port pair Mitch Georgiades and Jack Lukosius ensured the visitors led by 11 points at halftime, 7.5 to 5.6.
Both teams kicked two majors in a tight third term - Port kicked 2.6 and scores were level until a late Jobe Shanahan strike gave the Eagles a six-point edge at three-quarter time.
But Port’s Darcy Byrne-Jones put his side in front five minutes into the final term - the first of five successive goals for his club.
Power forward Georgiades kicked 3.5, Horne-Francis booted three majors from 27 disposals, and Joe Richards and Byrne-Jones kicked two goals each.
Port’s standout Butters received solid midfield support from Brownlow Medallist Ollie Wines (25 touches), and Kane Farrell (20) was creative at half-back.
Reid gathered a team-high 26 disposals, Clay Hall (21 touches) and Jack Williams (two goals) impressed, while veterans Liam Duggan (21 possessions) and Baker (18) were prominent.
