Tempers threatened to boil over late in the third quarter when Reid took down Sam Switkowski off the ball. A wild melee ensuing that is sure to attract plenty of fines.
Harley Reid has officially stamped himself as the No.1 villain of Fremantle supporters on a night when the Dockers overcame a scare to post a 35-point win over West Coast.
Reid and Andrew Brayshaw took part in a particularly heated battle, with the pair going tit-for-tat throughout the match. Eagles veteran Elliot Yeo ensured Reid stayed out of the fracas by escorting him to the middle of the ground. Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy looked wobbly late in the quarter after suffering two knocks to the head in the space of a minute.
The spiteful nature of the clash continued in the second term, and Reid was in the thick of the action and loving it.
