Will Essendon be playing him in the VFL?

7,426 days (& rising) since last Finals win.

Maybe aim to win a final first.

My oh my. Seems like Harley didn't spend Christmas or holidays back in country Vic with his family.

Very unusual behaviour for a fella who was home sick during the season last year. Seems to me like Harley Reid grew up.

He's no longer home sick. He's just obsessed with Yaz. Whatever happens it will be Yaz/Harley making the decision together. Harley will go wherever Yaz goes

You should be deeply troubled going into 2025 if Harley doesn't once mention he was a Geelong supporter. He mentioned it all the time in 2024.

Why would you scrap the Academies? They're good for jnr pathways into AFL, particularly in remote areas.

You dont scrap them.

You just make access to the talent for all clubs and the AFL funds them. Which it does anyway along with sponsors who identify AFL junior develipment as a good space to invest sponsorship dollars.

Clubs can get paid for any support they provide.

Not a difficult change to make. Would end the shenanagins compromising the draft.
