Teams were gonna start clamping on the young fella sooner or later. He's only 19 and it's not all sunshine and farts at the top level, he'll learn from this and will be all the more better for it

Any danger of his teammates not named Yeo giving him a chop out?..please?
 
Look with Hewett and Kelly out there instead of Dom and Gaff we are a lot more of a threat. Jack Steele got 15 tackles they definitely went to work on Harley in the second half and it worked. Another step on the learning journey for him.
 
I don't like Harley lifting the arm to raise tackles and the umpires shouldn't pay those ones.

But every player leans to change direction and he turns in a tighter circle than most, if those tackles hit him high then give him the free kick.

Today he was reaching up and backwards for a spillage and got taken high, no free kick.

Umpires are pathetically weak-minded and have these images of players in their own head instead of just paying what they see.

Reid should have got a few frees this game and I'd be pissed if it was me going and winning the ball without proper protection.

Last week when he lifted his arm it should have been called play on, but that shouldn't affect the umpires decision making a round later just because they stuffed it last week.

I couldn't stand Shuey doing it and like it even less on Harley. Hopefully the umps targeting him as a ducker rubs that out of his game quick smart and by year 2 he's getting the Matt Rowell side of the whistle.

Two weeks. Lol @ high impact and the kid plays on

If he got concussion and game off it'd have been Mega-Ultra-Extreme Contact!

**** this sport ay.
 
Gotta love a league where Maynard blasts Angus Brayshaw into early retirement and gets no punishment but Harley Reid gets two weeks for this tackle. Absolute clown shoes system of punishment.

The sport is now a product and the AFL, categorically, will not rub out good players from it's most marketed event the Grand Final.

See Maynard, Cotchin, Hall, Cripps brownlow etc. etc.

The propaganda wing of their media arm will go into overtime in the lead up to a predetermined tribunal decision and any justification, no matter how inconsistent or implausible will be used to ensure than player is there on grand final day.

The Cripps one was an incredible farce. When you refuse to suspend players like Cripps and Maynard for that I don’t think anybody could argue with a straight face that the AFL takes player safety seriously. There’s always an asterisk when it comes to certain players and situations.
