Speculation Harley Reid [OOC 2026]

[The Nostradamus]

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.

No go home factor for LDU so yes it is different and bloke has said publicly he loves the club and wants to stay. This is a bloke that has given 7 years service and has extended multiple times

And yes they will get decent compo but they would get even more if they trade him under contract

likewise we would have got less for JHF if we waited a year

So they need to either extend or if they can’t then pull the trigger next year

You are spot on with timing. Not too hard to figure out in this situation you are saying anyway because you turnn Reid into Chad Warner + extras . Essendon would probably go 3 1st rounders + Nate Caddy . We turn 2 1st rounders into Chad Warner

Warner + Caddy + 1st rounder for Reid

We would probably need to give more for Warner but that would be the price for Essendon to get Reid. When he is OOC theyd have absolutely zero chance.

As long as my arse points to the ground no one would pay three firsts and caddy for Reid…listen to yourself

Zero point of doing it unless thats the offer.

 

[matey]

That was him devastated he has to stay in Dan Andrews Victoria

Most of us are devastated in the way Dan/Allan have destroyed our state but more so for the proposed statue in his honour

Hahahahahahaha.

Oh, sorry, you were serious.

No, they would not "probably" go that.

why would they have zero chance? he will just request a trade and nominate essendon and then they do a deal.

Um, what?

 

[King Patty]

Ess 2025, Dees 2025 +Ess 2026 should be enough.
if not would add someone like guelfi or Jones, not Caddy. Caddy is good mates with Reid, would be part of reason for him choosing efc along with Duursma.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Um, what?

I mean yes, he is worth more then Tim Kelly

I’m not sure why people are so shocked at this

Sweet, Caddy can come to West Coast and play with Reid's other mates already at the club.

Don't even mention Guelfi/Jones every again.

Of course, that's even if Reid would want to move to a club that hasn't won a final for over 20 years.

All reports suggest he's very happy and likely to extend, at this stage.

I always find it amusing when posters throw in ordinary players to try and bump up the value of the trade.

Someone's Essendon siren went off again.

Err yeah, sure, but that's pretty wildly unrelated too

Robbo tried to say last year that Essendon should get OAllen for pick 12, Nick Hind and Matt Guelfi.

Laughable. As if throwing in 2 scrubbers increases the value of the trade? Those 2 blokes would've made it worse, considering one's been delisted.

Still can't forget Carey saying the Blues should trade pick 1 (Walsh) for a bunch of scrubbers - Bugg, Dom Tyson & Frost!!

He also said we should trade pick 1 last year for a similar cohort of players. Can't remember exactly which ones but Jack Silvagni was certainly among them.

Can go recent

If Bolton is worth 2 first rounders... do you think Reid is only worth 1 more? So he is 33% more valuable then Shai Bolton?

I feel like we're pulling 1980s stock market phone calls here and ignoring the context in which this calls are made. You're also discounting Caddy who, having more than repayed his draft position is likely worth more than any of those picks.

Caddy is worth 2 1st rounders or what?

Put some quanitifers down instead of saying LOL . My position is sinmple

3 1st rounders + Caddy. 3 first rounders are likely to exist at 10-20 . Caddy is then worth a top 5 pick

Pick 5,10,15,20 for Reid is the deal

It all depends on leverage & where those picks are placed. If they are pick 1 & 2, 3 then that is the biggest haul in draft history. If he's out of contract and pick's Richmond who got the spoon then you will be lucky to get pick 1 for him.

100%. Its all relative to what picks Essendon would get.

We will 100% get pick 1 for him + extra

Pretending it wont be the biggest haul in trade history is laughable also. He will clearly be the biggest trade in AFL history if it happens, in contract or not

A 26 year old Shai Bolton isnt worth just 30% less then a 19 year old Harley Reid...

Why should it be the biggest trade haul? I assume WC won't trade him for 2 seasons at best as you have all eggs in the HR basket so won't entertain it if asked in 12 months. He will also not go public with it & be prepared to go another 12 months of speculation if he actually wants out.

He then needs to continue to improve. Right now of the most recent prodigies to come through, I think Sheezel, Ashcroft, Daicos & even Serong showed more in year 1. The difference is he is more powerful for a 1st year player so might turn into a beast but nothing is certain, he also won't be winning a Brownlow from WC's ladder position. I just can't see a club either having or paying more than Carlton did for Judd.
