Speculation Harley Reid [OOC 2026]

[stallon]

Surely he wants to play with the Wiz!

Whens the Wiz asking for a trade to the Eagles then?

The elation he showed on draft night when picked up by the Hawks can’t see the Wiz ever asking. However re Reid asking to get back home …..

 

[Barrybran]

Warner going to West Coast should loosen the chokehold they've got on Reid. It's all falling in place for a Dangeresque move back home.

If Harley plays eight seasons and 150 games for the club I will be very grateful and wish him well for the rest of his career

Well, Wiz is a Vic metro mummy's boy, of course he's in tears over not having to leave mum's home-cooked meals.

Reid was always leaving wherever he went. Interestingly, his sister moved to Brisbane on her own, so the Reid kids are quite independent, it seems.

I think the Wiz elation was more to do with training with the Hawks for a couple of years before getting drafted and he landed where he wanted to. ln his first 18 games kicked over 20 goals and over 50 shots at goal …….. you can call the kid a mummy’s boy but stop embarrassing yourself as he ain’t any less of a young man than what Reid is.

Was always a risk from the start and WC took it like North did with JHF and many others have! Still imagine these two together

Interesting how the Wiz didn’t attend the combine as some of his results would have been off the charts . ln his first 18 games kicked over 20 goals and over 50 shots at goal …….. you can call the kid a mummy’s boy but stop embarrassing yourself as he ain’t any less of a young man than what Reid is.

Why would Harley leave a team where 2 of his closest mates are in the same side + his best mate works for the club and plays WAFL, to go and play with Watson?

The Vic supporter fan fiction never ceases to amaze me.

And be the highest paid player in the comp ….. you may be right.

pretty much. Nobody else to really give money to when he's due for his next contract.

First year player he started off very scratchy in front of goals but his kicking improved over the year …… kid is a jet

13.4 in his last 4 games including 7.2 in finals... which was more goals than any Geelong player in finals. He'll be right.

He even drew a head high free kick during a hug.

 

[Jupes]

will probably trade him for a couple of 2nd rounders because we made a commitment to get him home

 

[Citizen Erazed]

Best mates with Matt Owies, not going anywhere.

 

[btdg]

If West Coast are worried about losing him in a year or two, would they consider a package based around Carlton's pick 3?

Given they are still rebuilding, and only have pick 12 in what looks to be a ripper of a draft this would give them a chance to move up into the top 5, which you would think is a definite goal for a team in the Eagles position?

Carlton would probably need to add something on top of course. We have also freed up some cap space thistrade period and could take back a bad contract (Matt Owies 3 year deal?) to give the Eagles flexibility if they want to chase a replacement like Chad Warner

The amount of work you have put into this, just bravo. Could Richmond somehow get involved to clear some cap space like Baker and his 5 year deal?

 

[The Nostradamus]

If they can’t extend Harley by trade period of next year they should trade him while he is under contact as opposed to 2026 when out of contract to maximise leverage

why? did that apply to LDU?

 

[The Nostradamus]

why? did that apply to LDU?

LDU is a free agent we will either get decent compo or match and force a trade. And don’t worry he ain’t leaving so it’s moot

This more applies to JHF

We could’ve held him but traded him with 1 more year under contract when he didn’t extend further

 

[Port 2004]

Could be when he retires.

you think reid not getting decent "compo" from a trade with any other club?

and the part about LDU aint leaving, WC supporters been saying the same thing regarding reid.

and no JHF never fit in from day one, with the issues he had with team mates and ice baths which ended him requesting a trade. totally differnt to reid.

Best for everyone involved that you don't start talking to Shannon Neale
