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

[Godfather32]

I think the club probably leaked it. Once the decision is made then it becomes a bit of a timing issue with Gold Coast, particularly as we are dealing with Dimma. You don't want to give the oppos free ammunition. "West Coast don't respect yous blokes, think they can rest players and come over here and get the job done. We we'll show them!" Putting it out there on a Tuesday means even it was perceived as a slight the emotion around it is well and truly spent by match day. Leaving it until Thursday or Friday not so much, becomes part of the weekend news cycle.

So the club leaked it...to Tom Morris?

 

[Retiredbattler]

he’ll be back in Tongala soon

 

[Art OF war]

haha love this- guessing a fairly big gathering will occur. Was he pissed about not playing or did he understand?

Why not?

 

[Godfather32]

Why not?

You don't think they'd leak it through a WA journalist?

Bit obvious no? Might as well put out a press release if you are going through Ryan Daniels. Not exactly going to use Woodcock either.

Don't think the club would've leaked it TBH.

Stuff like that always gets out.

You guys must be over the moon with how he's gone so far. Did you expect him to have such an influence so soon?

 

[Bender_]

It could be anyone leaking it - s**t even the airline he booked his ticket through.

 

[Tugga27]

It could be as simple as friends or family wanting to book a ticket to the GC to see him play and Harley telling them not to bother.

Doubt the club would leak it.

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

Ried will trudge through the front door, the weight of the world poised to bear down on his shoulders. The club's offer, a "lottery jackpot" contract extension, will lie on the kitchen counter.

I'm looking forward to seeing him along side Longe, Ginby, Marick, Hewitt and Chessar in the years ahead. I don't think another draftee has come into the AFL and had this type of hype, as much as it looks on the outside that he is handling it well, he's still only 19.

Can't believe you left out Johnstone.

Nah, I'm sure Simmo has Tom Morris on speed-dial

 

[Cuzz09]

Does a club official go with him?

Out with mates at the local smashing beers within 5 mins of arriving

[Lazzas]

I'm conflicted this weekend with Harley in Perth. Should we be locking up our daughter's or pushing them out the door this weekend?

I don't think there's a WAFL Eagles match this weekend, so maybe his housemate, Gilbee?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Do we still employ the snitch?

Tim Gepp would be well qualified to follow Reid.

 

[DanWCE]

Real tin foil hat s**t going on. Bloke will barely be unglued from his missus for 5 minutes to share a cuppa with the folks before returning HOME to Perth

 

[bzparkes]

Retiredbattler = Harley Reid?...

 

[sharps24]

It's week 6 of season 2024. Under the new AFLPA rules, why would you assume Harley doesn't have his own private jet at this point?

He’s going to come back with OP isn’t he

I'm pretty confident he'll spend the whole trip in the gym...

That's right, what 2 nights/2.5 days? Family, friends, girlfriend, then back to the airport with his rocks off...
