AFL: West Coast gun Harley Reid will miss this weekend's match against the Suns, but the youngster could be in for a big payday come year three of his contract.
If North Melbourne had their time again, would they have gone even harder at targeting pick one during last year’s trade period ?
Reid lit up Optus Stadium last week with a scintillating three-goal display in the Western Derby, just a week after leading the Eagles to their first victory of 2024 with a 27-disposal outing against Richmond. Meanwhile Reid has been electric, averaging 18.2 touches, five clearances and just under a goal a game, becoming the face of the West Coast Eagles in a matter of weeks.Speaking on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle, Herald Sun journalist Sam Landsberger posed the question: should the Roos have tried even harder to secure pick one?
“Given that recent history, could you put all of your eggs in the Harley Reid basket to then be in the same situation? Landsberger believes that recruiters across the land knew that Reid was a “generational talent” over 18 months out from last year’s draft.'Showtime Eagles' spearheaded by Reid | 02:46
