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.

Now that he's signed I will give an easy "like" to whoever posts the first vid of a vic talkshow panel saying he isnt even good anyway.

Read the oppo boards.

Yeah ive already seen a couple alluding to him turning into a druggie.

The dumb **** has spent privileges wrong three different ways in the same post

I think I might also be the soft WC mod he’s referring to - if so EAD mother****a

Please get a clean run at a pre-season, bro. 80% of those highlights were from last year.

Probably the best bit of social media the club has ever done

 

[Quinten Kennedy]

He was on Family Feud apparently and when asked to name something blue, he said "the sky" and 91% of people polled agreed.

I heard he was on Hard Quiz. Favourite subject, foot eating.

What's got the Hawks fans so pissed off today?

You'd think they were the ones with the one win season.

(I guess we've got a two win season now)

 

[Goroyals22]

Gary can go eat a bag of dicks

 

[Farang83150]

This is an all time board day for us.

You didn't even report it 10 minutes before he signed....no cred!

 

[UseR2006]

I didn't know Harleys name was Liam?

 

[Rigs]

Just stopping by to say I bloody love watching this kid play and I’m happy to see he’s sticking around at WC!

They had 2 posters post on there board this morning saying they had inside word that Harley was requesting a trade to hawthorn

So this season has sort of reinforced that players don't move clubs that often. The incumbent club will always have the upper hand.

When contract time comes up, most will stay put unless they are a fringe player looking for more opportunities, older player again looking elsewhere for a final push or being pushed out by their club, or other extenuating circumstances.

This whole situation should be a confidence booster that the club knows how to treat it's players off field (especially young guys from other states).

 

[Forward Press]

Look at this copium:

It’s good for him but holding the club to ransom and hoarding all that cash from the club and the rest of the playing list is pretty selfish stuff in my opinion. Good on him and his management for extracting what they did, but he’s yet to prove anything, and I can’t help but feel this could work out terribly for WC.

Of course we would have paid a lot which is the price you may for getting a player to break a contract, but this doesn’t feel like a win for the eagles.

 

[bzparkes]

Look at this copium:

Love this.

'Hoarding cash'.

It's a 2 ****ing year contract, not a 20 year one.

 

[Forward Press]

So had a browse of the Hawks thread, and judging from the deleted posts it's not like we were covering ourselves in glory. If the reverse occurred we'd also happily ban them. Some was a bit over the top and they are allowed to amuse themselves with saying we sure are partying hard for a one win team.

Would rather we celebrate, brag and gloat here rather than antagonise Hawks fans, many of which are actually pleased we retained Harley Reid.

Still, we should definitely tag The Big Dipper until he shows up here again with receipts egg on his face.

Can't believe Ralph just took the piss out of McClure on MWT just now re; Reid's contract.

That was hilarious. Hope someone gets that couple minutes recorded and posted on here.

Paraphrasing he said Harley loves being at the club, loves playing for the club, loves playing under and has a great relationship with McQualter and his management were also both glowing of the club, the list manager, how the club's handled the situation and the negotiations, a cordial back and forth but at the end of the day Harley always wanted to re-sign here

Yeh but think of all the other superstars on the list who will miss out because of this!

(Do some people not realise that in addition to a salary cap, AFL teams have a salary floor? Goodness knows how we'd reach the floor without Harley to soak up some $$)

Didn't even mention Vic clubs having a crack in a few years when raised by McFarlane, just said WCE see him as a long term player.

Came here to mention this

Can’t stand Ralph but he was surprisingly glowing in his praise for the deal and how we went about it

Particularly liked what he relayed about Reid’s manager praise which is encouraging since the same manager also handles Chesser who I’d like to keep

RIP

I went over and laugh reacted a few of our posts.

Guess I'm an accessory after the fact or something.

Worth.

Already done

This is about the 3rd or 4th time I've either agreed with, or havent minded Ralph in the last couple of months

Either hes changed or I have
