Speculation Harley Reid [OOC 2026]

[Get_The_Gaff]

If you want fair compensation then Richmond has draft picks so Richmond are front runners at this stage.

Harley wants to win games . Richmond are in for norf levels of bottoming out over the next few years

Not necessarilly if we have a midfield of Reid, Prestia, Lalor and Smilie. Lynch at fullforward and improvement across the board from our 3rd and 4th year players.

You think the injury prone, and soon to be 33 year olds in Prestia and Lynch will still be around in a few years time? Good luck with that

Interstate members. Dont get seated membership.
Waiting in the Wings members. (waiting for a seated membership to become available)

That explains it. Not members are members. Members are members and being on a wait list are members.

Makes perfect sense.

Players that we haven't seen at AFL level, we don't know either way.

freo conspiracy no 875834987

not all are seated members..when a seated member doesnt rock up a non seated member doesnt automatically get his seat

and you actually believe the Eagles dont have 100000 members ...lullz
not every club is an irrelevant minnow like freo

Lynch and prestia are old and cooked.

Two blokes that can barely get on the park.

The bottoming out is not the issue, it's the climb out the other side.

North didn't bottom out fast enough. It was a slow descent to the bottom, while throwing silly money at any half decent, or otherwise, free agent that would agree to join them. Then when they did properly bottom out, they had sfa senior afl players to show the kids the ropes and protect them as they physically developed.

Richmond still have enough mature, senior players, who will be around the for the next 5 years, to help bring the kids through.

I expect Richmond to be on the same climbing the ladder time frame as West Coast, within 3 seasons. West Coast might stay a season ahead if Reid stays and Warner joins.

Lol.

1 of those blokes can't even get on the park and is cooked(Prestia).

2 haven't even played a game yet and won't be able to play full midfield minutes for a few years, if they're any good

Makes perfect sense.

They all have membership numbers and pay a members fee. And get membership advantages depending on the type of membership you have.

Every club does this. Even yours. Maybe not in the wings as the Eagles I believe are the only club with a thousands of fans waiting years for a seated membership to become available.

No point having a seat if you live in London is there?

Ive been an In the Wings member for years. I live in Darwin.

So yes. Its a pretty simple concept to understand. It just doesnt apply to clubs with smaller memberships than their home stadium capacity.

the fact you have to explain simple concepts and logic to freo supporters says it all
Its all just a conspiracy
People wait years and pay money to queue for full eagles memberships just for shitz and giggles

If any club was to dodge figures it would be little success starved minnows like freo

Essendon are not in that market I’m afraid

TBH Essendon is at the same level as your lot. In that rung below. If I’m Reid I’m picking North over Esssendom 99 times out of 100

lol what?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

lol what?

North will finish higher then Bombers in 2025.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Your 'link' to Essendon was a Tom Morris article saying they're going to make a huge offer to Reid.

Now, if you apply mild critical thinking to this, you'd understand that doesn't 'link' Reid to Essendon whatsoever, it just states the bleeding obvious.

Now apply that same kind of 'thinking' to all other Vic clubs prepared to make an offer and you'll understand that is has nothing to do with it being 'widely accepted' he'll move back to Vic, but rather it's journalists reporting on the obvious fact that Vic clubs will make an offer to lure Reid back home.

That doesn't mean he actually will, or has any intention of doing so.

He could stay in Perth for his career, or he could randomly request a trade to Brisbane, where his sister lives, for all we know.

The only people that 'widely accept' he'll move back to Vic are clowns like Sam McClure. Not a reliable source of information, it must be said.

we have a link to Reid a bit beyond what Tom Morris suggests but I agree it's not some type of thing where I would be confident we land him in any case.

He would get whatever paycheque he wanted from any club in the league. Don't think we are some big draw card for him anymore than someone else, especially if he wants to play finals footy.

yeah umm..........that's worth a bookmark.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

yeah umm..........that's worth a bookmark.

Please do .

I'll PayPal you 50 bucks if Essendon finish above them

You don't have to give me anything in return if the opposite happens . That's my level of confidence

Picks 1 and 2 this year should do it

Who are these senior players ?

Hopper , taranto short and Balta are the only 4 senior players that are prime age under 30

Next season broad 32 lynch 32 prestia 32 mcintosh 31 nank and vlaustuin turn 31

That's only 10 senior players and some of them can't stay on the park .

They have so many under 24s a lot with question marks on if they are good enough

West coast would have had at least 15 players the last 2 seasons rated as senior players 25+ years old

Its not like Richmond traded or drafted a bunch of afl ready youngsters.

5 out of 7 draftees are young talls or injury effected players

World of hurt especially if seniors can't stay on the park

They will go into next trade period overpaying for free agents that are in that 26-28 year bracket
