WE have NEVER SEEN this before…

The West Coast Eagles have quickly become an awkward matchup for the competition especially at Optus oval. Harley Reid is on a historic run of his own while a key forward has emerged from nowhere as a star. They are gaining momentum in the AFL and causing other clubs trouble.

Eagles fan here, at first it was excitement. Now I just turn on a game and smile and shake my head. The kid is insane.

Without the biased Kelli underwood ruining the Gather round game, this is something Harley Reid has got, he is the most incredible player

The latter 1/3rd of the year he was getting grabbed off the ball, tackled when he didnt have the pill, his run into marking contests were obstructed.. opposition teams used all means fair and foul to stop him getting his hands on pill.. and the umpires did nothing.. Theres Four of them out there now days and they still cant pick this stuff up?

i dont remember a player having this kind of impact immediately since dale thomas

As a long time Eagles fan Ive seen mpre success than most. When weve done we havent been for long, so hope this isnt the case. Just chuffed to see what a phenomenon Reid is, and how Waterman has come out of nowhere. At home we're playing exciting footy, so just glad theres some improvement.

I feel for North fans. That is the downside of the draft, it is amazing that it is helping struggling sides to improve/rebuild, but it also punishes winning and disincentivises winning when your do not look like making the finals.
Happy for the Eagles though, they needed this, Reid will be a crucial piece in becoming a contender side again.

Reid is special.
Hes a hybrid player like the martins, de goeys and stringer.but the difference with him he’s doing it straight away.
Much more entertaining player then the likes of daicos, walsh and Neal.

Can't deny we have a champion in the making.

Afl is so unwatchable now. In my personal experience as a 27-year-old the game is dead to me.

Reid is really good and I go for Collingwood and I hope we could do something to trade for him cause he is really good

[markpannewig]

It helps that he’s a protected species. Half of his fend-offs are high……
Clearly spends his spare time, on his knees in the umpires change room

Rubbish Headline. Rowell got how many best on grounds in how many games in his first season before injury. Reid won't get that the whole Year and Ya can't play Melbourne every week and then 14 touches the week after. He's a good player, not in Daicos' class and the only young player close is Sheezel. Won't be at Wet Toast for too long.
