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

 

[Seadog]

Feels like Clayton Oliver 2.0

It's 2 years compared to 7, that's not Clayton Oliver you're feeling.

 

[lmach]

Him saying he is gone either this year or next if he doesnt get the contract he wants now. And if he goes next year he can make it difficult for WCE to get anywhere near what they would get this year.

And he can spend the year shitting on WCE and convincing everyone born outside of WA that WCE is a terrible place to go.

Players wanting out have all the power these days.

You think there is a high chance no deal happens this year and he announces that he is happy to play under his current draft contract next year?

Yeah, a guy who wants a $20m contract getting told "No, you just stick to your $200k contract" would be totally happy to stay there.

He is either going or he gets the big contract. There is simply zero chance he goes into 2026 without a new contract. Because he absolutely would be filthy at the club.

If they do it the Geelong way, nothing.

As for offers vs demands its basic English. Vic clubs are making offers to him. They cant demand anything. He is making demands of WCE or he will look to one of the Vic offers.

If he doesnt get the contact he wants from WCE you think he will sign with WCE anyway?

The fan base of WCE does not appear to be handling things at all well.

If Oscar goes for an end of 1st round pick that would be just about the end of the world.

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.

 

[Altum Volantes]

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!

Well I guess your mob hasn't drafted a decent key forward in over 20 years, so it makes sense you'd want to get a sniff at Shanahan.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Which BIG Victorian club will Harley sign for at the end of 2028?

FTFY

The system is broken, comp is way too big Vic club centric

 

[HairyO]

Thank you for collating all my posts where I said a contract would be signed.

Not sure what the point was, given it would have been over a few dozen pages. Feels like a lot more effort in one post than I put in all my posts in a week.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Another feather in the cap of the Geelong Board 'ITK's who have gotten every call wrong for the last decade!

Next year no doubt Walsh, Butters, Ben King

will all be sign sealed and delivered to the Cattery only to hear they pulled out at the death when each player re signed for another 5 years.

Always entertaining reading at least.

Not denying you thought he'd sign, just laughing at all the cope

Was a good read, cheers!

 

[Dangerousfield]

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

Minimum cap payment means WC have to pay someone so who cares? Anyway, Harley looking forward to Chad coming home to WC from the 2028 season

You can imagine everyone's TOTAL dismay at reading that you didn't get it

Calsher Dear?

 

[Juddy88]

This HairyO dude is coping harder than I've ever seen on Bigfooty.

 

[Xtreme]

You've never heard of market value, have you?

Judging by your posting history, I don't think you've heard of much else, either

Market value is a false fallacy

If you want to pay that much to a player with a negative persona, all the best. He's on track to become the next Cousins/Kerr/Willie Rioli...and not the next Voss/Akermanis/Hodge.

 

[Lia]

Bunch of bans on the hawf board now. Oh dear. Talk about picking and choosing when to be hard.

 

[Xtreme]

And not act like a petulant child giving away free kicks.

If Harley contributes to the eagles the same way Cousins did, I'll take it. Number 5 incoming

Luckily hawthorn never wanted him!

Hawks fans melting so hard right now.

Had our eyes on Oscar

The Cousins/Kerr/Rioli reference was for their off field antics. Good luck!

 

[Altum Volantes]

Calsher Dear?

Key forward?

(I do like him, I don't know if he's a FF or CHF though, he is a good one though!)

 

[Farang83150]

Opo fans couldn't care less and don't want him at their club.... Obviously

 

[SSSSSS]

Key forward?

(I do like him, I don't know if he's a FF or CHF though, he is a good one though!)

He's the same height as Shanahan.

He will be our FF for the next decade.

You can't be that slow, surely?

I'll help you. Firstly, false fallacy is a redundant claim. A fallacy is a failed argument on it's own.

Secondly, market value may be flawed but it is certainly not a fallacy. It's a representation of an assets current price or value IN THE MARKET. I.e. what people are willing to pay. This is a very basic fundamental of economics that is usually taught in grade 8.

Thirdly, there's absolutely no way you just compared Willie Rioli to Ben Cousins and Daniel Kerr.

Reading your incoherent postings, that appear to be filled with (false) confidence is physically painful.

Had our eyes on Oscar

And you failed at that one too

 

[Juddy88]

What does that have to do with what you pay someone?

Also, list a few of Harley's off field antics that align with anyone the other three have done.

My God, try digging up from your hole, not down.
