Recommitted Harley Reid [extends contract to 2028!]

[Ambrose Burnside]

Realistically down to the Eagles and the only two clubs with the draft picks that could satisfy the Eagles for a contracted Harley Reid, Essendon and Richmond.

Harley chose wisely

 

[Altum Volantes]

$2mill for a second year player ...... ??

Don't go asking for a leg-up in the draft now Eagles.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense mate.

 

[Elite Pete]

Huge amount of pressure on him now .

When you sign for 2 million , you L’Oréal benefit of the doubt when it comes to expectations

This deal makes him no longer a kid with time to develop. If he wants to be paid as the highest paid player in the game , it’s time to play like it

Not sure where you’ve been the last 2.5 years. He’s been a rookie deal and everyone has had his name in his mouth. Provided clicks

He's still on his rookie contract for next season (as I understand it)

So by your logic you can leave him be for another year

Using the word logic in reference to the poster you quoted, is like trying to explain the colour red to a blind person.

 

[Quinten Kennedy]

Feels like Clayton Oliver 2.0

I'm getting more Judd / Martin vibes.

We can afford him and not lose a high profile player and be inside our salary cap.
Plus MCgovern ,Allen and Sheed all off the books.Gotta spend the money on someone.
Carlton on the other hand can't match SDK and may also lose Jack SoS because they have too many high paid players.

It'll be $2m for a 4th year player actually.

 

[bulldogs201616]

Good on him for showing loyalty.Gives the eagles 3 years to show him it's worth sticking around

 

[HairyO]

I'm getting more Judd / Martin vibes.

Judd one of the best players in the league in his 2nd year, and probably was in his 3rd, 4th and 5th etc. etc. etc.

Reid has shown nothing to date to match anything Judd did.

But Im sure the guaranteed millions and millions of dollars will inspire him to dig in and work even harder than Judd did.

 

[jannissary]

good news. glad he’s staying

Judd didn't break out as a genuine 'one of the best in the league' players until his 3rd season. 2004.

Just saying.

 

[The Gtrain]

They should have announced it with a compilation of the media parasites talking about him leaving

Reid is one of the most naturally gifted players to enter the club. Absolutely stoked he's committed to the rebuild and likes living here.

 

[HairyO]

I mean, he had 50 goals in his first 2 seasons. If that isnt breaking out Im not sure what is.

Judd was playing alongside Ben Cousins and Daniel Kerr and the rucking of Dean Cox and Michael Gardiner.
Not quite the same scenario.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

He’s just waiting for pendlebury to retire.

 

[Altum Volantes]

He was an amazingly talented young player in a mid table team.

He was not 'one of the best players in the competition'.

He got there in his 3rd year - his first AA season, his first B&F etc - that was when he leveled up.

It was great, I remember.

 

[Scotland]

Judd one of the best players in the league in his 2nd year,

Nah. Top 50 maybe. Top 100 sure.

and probably was in his 3rd, 4th and 5th etc. etc. etc.

Definitely. 30 vote Brownlow season in 2004 aged 21.

Reid has shown nothing to date to match anything Judd did.

Nothing? Really? Why were the media jizzing themselves last year about him? In the space of a couple of weeks he sat Nat Fyfe on his arse and brushed off Dustin Martin and Christian Petracca, the latter of which was followed by a couple of bounces and a goal from 50. Handy.

Reid polled 7 Brownlow votes in his first year, Judd polled 0. And Judd played in a team that played finals (winning 11 games, lol).

Where they differ is that Reid's second year was down, hampered by injury and playing with no one.

But Im sure the guaranteed millions and millions of dollars will inspire him to dig in and work even harder than Judd did.

Salty.

 

[Outtatym]

Never in doubt.

 

[chaddy22]

Is Owies still available?

Owies is still available.

At the moment
Barrass tick
Allen Fail
Harley Fail
Anyone else your mob want?

 

[Obeanie1]

I must be gettng old.

My eyes and ears hurt watching that.

Even checked if it was legit.....and it is.

 

[SSSSSS]

Not really.

There's a reason why you guys are stuck at the bottom. Most of your players suck.

We're just going after the good ones.



I don't mind that Shanahan kid though. Liked him pre-draft!

[Dangerousfield]

Nas signs, Harley signs.

Good for football, would hate it if young players wanting a trade became the norm.

Chad Warner too - AFL media rumour mongers not happy with these signings, they'll now need to dream up some more stories to fill the airwaves.

Probably the next rumour for them to regurgitate over and over and over will start on that Fox show Midweek Rumour Mill, I can hear the words coming out of Glen McFarcicles mouth right now, "I have it on good authority that xxxxxxxx will be asking for a trade" Then away it goes, all the other AFL media jump on board with who suitors might be, what the deal would look like. FMD it's a BS circus
