Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

You forgot pack marking (as opposed to just one-on-one contested marking) that's already better than Fyfe at his pinnacle and probably top 5 in the AFL already.

Yeah it’s like someone already posted, Ablett Senior reborn.

 

[Trouto]

He looks like he's having a blast playing footy (comes across the same in interviews) which is refreshing from a draftee.

yeah, a darn sight better than JHF in his first (and only) year at North Melbourne

 

[Forward Press]

What parallels exactly? The only talk of him being homesick is coming from Victorian media. The way he tugged his jumper after scoring one of his goals would warm the cockles of every Eagles fan's hearts. Seems to love the club and the way the young players get around each other suggests they are forming quite a bond.

It obviously can change but this isn't a sign of someone that doesn't want to be here.

 

[The_Eagles]

I don't care if he leaves but after at least one premiership, 2029-30 or something. Like Christopher Judd. Will be flat if all he wins are a couple of Brownlows..
He'll be the centrepiece that catapults us up the ladder, like Judd, Nic Nat/JK before him and he would know and love that

In hindsight things change fast, Eagles trash in 2001, Grand Final 2005
Eagles garbage in 2010, Grand Final 2015


The mighty and legendary Eagles

Looks to me that he's trying to get it off.

When his contract up?
Can see this guy running around the MCG eventually.
Big Vic clubs will throw money at him.

Interesting
There was an article saying he has been missing family.

Sounds salty like those roos fans saying they had the upper hand before the draft because they had 2&3
You could have had him, but your club offered peanuts!

 

[mike ross]

Wrapt for the Eagles on this one. Haven't had a player make my eyes pop out of their sockets for a long time.

 

[danster168]

What an enjoyable day out at the footy that was.

lol at the flex from a wce fan.

 

[random260]

From posting on Instagram recently trying to get his GF to come back to Perth. To jumper tugs.

His actions speak louder then his word when it comes to loving wce.

IMO I'm getting the feeling his trying to get his ducks in a row before signing a long term 10 year deal with wce. That means what happens to Girlfriend and family situation that needs to be ironed out. I think he is really trying to make it work out long term with wce

Glad North didn’t get him. Harley deserved better than playing in front of 500 people for a club that’s done **** all since w***er Carey.

McKercher & Duursma will end up being very good players for us for a long time.
Not worth thinking about the what ifs and should we have tanked etc.

Meanwhile Harley Reid described his recent birthday as "the worst ever"
Id be wanting him to sign sooner rather than later if I were Eagles.

No player is bigger than the club
WCE are turning into Harley Reid FC
He does amazing things no doubt but so do 21 other players.

Those jumpers can get itchy

Would I love Harley at North?
Sure who wouldn't

But it didn't happen so not worth dwelling on.

Eagles nearly stuffed it themselves by beating Bulldogs.

Dunno bout you but thats not how you take a top off

 

[danster168]

same thing was said of Luke Jackson.

 

[Wosh]

At the end of the day Harley has the right to go where he wants to play, hopefully we can give him the environment, club community and lifestyle to make him want to stay but everyone has the right to change their workplace if it makes them happy or for financial benefits.
I’m going to appreciate him while he’s ours, who knows what the future holds, no point stressing about it.

 

[EagleMan87]

same thing was said of Luke Jackson.

Jackson grew up in Perth; Reid did not grow up in Melbourne.

Only by you

Nonsense, it's the media playing those games. The fans know it's about all the kids developing and so do the players, they way Reid and co. got around Ginbey after his goal or Chesser getting around Waterman suggests they enjoy playing together.

 

[raskolnikov]

It is if you're starting to panic.

 

[cosmicwinduptoy]

In an open draft I think at least Nick Daicos would have gone ahead of him. Possibly Sam Darcy too.

Wouldn't he have been bid on with pick 1 if this was the case?
