List Mgmt. Welcome Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023 National Draft)

[HoneyBadger35]

Recap at a glance:

• Harley Reid has signed a two-year extension, which keeps him at West Coast until at least the end of 2028.
• He still has one season left on his rookie deal, the new extension kicks in for 2027.
• Cal Twomey reports that the deal could reach up to $2m per year if Harley triggers all incentives (e.g. this is not a base $2m per year deal).
• This is a straight two year extension, with no player option for a +9 or anything similar.
• Get a big dog up ya, Victoria.

Harls is gonna be a lot better for it after this year. I think he goes to another level next year, with or without a fit Yeo.
On that note I truly hope we get Yeoy right, he will make a big difference but even if not I think Sharp makes an instant impact and takes heat off him also

Can't believe this thread hasn't even hit 8,000 posts yet. It's so quiet in here.

Adding Yeo next year will take a heap; of pressure off - Look how well W Ashcroft is going for comparison, different players ofc but he has the support of Neale, Dunkley, McCluggage.

The addition of Yeo & potentially warner the year after would do wonders for his numbers and freedom

 

[Broken_Chairs]

HR's going to be a monster - 19yo againt port he had 27d, 1.2 goals, 7 tackles, 6 clearances, and pretty similar meters gained & TOG as Butters & JHF.

Bloody annoyed me how the commentators were talking about him not being fit enough, and focusing too much on talking - what game we're you watching?

They also went on about how he'll come good for "whoever he ends up playing for"... what other players get that sort of shite. You could say that about anyone in the league but no one's future gets described like that.

 

[ziad]

I rate reid's year. Last year he had Yeo for protection at least, this year his supporting cast has been a lot younger.

He is our best mid and at time our only competative mid - a single point of focus for opo and media. He daoesnt compare top others 1-3 season mids as they often feed of others - harley is the Nic Nat in the contest we havent had for a while.

 

[braddalzielleoursaviour]

His half time address was pretty awesome though, he looks like he’s definitely bought in to the club. No ones talking about that but

 

[Astro7]

ignorant media and oppo fans I accept, but the eagles fans who pot him p!ss me off. get behind the young fella, blind freddy can see he is legit generational talent.

Most other WC players get bagged and potted and slagged off by posters here, often unfairly...but what, Harley's untouchable?
Fair criticism is okay, even if he is a generational talent, he's not perfect.

I remember Duggan saying they wanted to incorporate some younger guys into leadership duties with our offical leaders mostly out.

Ginbey, Hough and Harley were the three he mentioned iirc so good to see that is actually happening.

there is a pile on nature with harley, the comparison with other players is apples and oranges. The attention he gets is unprecedented. A united fan base behind him is important.

I also dont agree with the constant potting of other players either btw, OK for criticism when its due but the constant nature of targeting of players is pretty uncool.

"Harley addressed his teammates at half time, and they then lost the second half. This is a clear sign that his teammates don't back him and he should be traded"
-McClure, probably.

He was actually handing in his resignation to the group

 

[Cuzz09]

I can guarantee if he was getting high 20s with Yeo, Waterman, Oscar and Gov fully fit we probably have won 5+ games now

 

[Dark Sharks]

Just for the record, he is 20.

Anyone still talking about him being a teenager is the equivalent of reading "close the boarders" during Covid.

 

[Bender_]

For better or worse, he's no longer a teenager.

 

[Farang83150]

Would be well beyond that if "other club stalkers" were recorded!
A certain richmond flog would've probably doubled that just with his own stalking!

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

When he re-signs this board will be up and about like it's 2018 all over again.

Can't wait!

 

[bzparkes]

For better or worse, he's no longer a teenager.

He's a 20yo kid mate.

 

[Mr Q]

Twenteen?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

He’s 20, same age as Ginbey who is now a senior player and no longer counts as playing the kids fyi

 

[RanaNaved]

Gerard Whateley was just on SEN and he literally said that Harley Reid's half time address he believed was an ultimatum to the player's. He reckons he lip read him say "follow me or I'm gone boys"

 

[pantskyle]

Just a baby.

 

[Dark Sharks]

He turned 20 in round 6.

Basically should be on the veterans list with Jamie Crisp at this point.

Nah it was more like - "I'm leaving, who's coming with me?"

 

[Matera92]

Retirement game when?

 

[Ochre]

He's 20 until he becomes 21. That's how it works.
