All the hype about Harley Reid was justified. Well, most of it anyway. The teenage phenomenon is the AFL’s No.1 tackle-buster, and in just nine games, he’s already made a start on a hall-of-fame highlights reel.
Teenage phenomenon Harley Reid leads the competition for broken tackles after his brutal performance against Melbourne on Sunday night.
If you wonder how his effort compares to his football idol Dusty Martin when the Tiger exploded into form in 2017. Martin broke 68 tackles in the 22 home and away rounds that season . The piece of play was a 2024 mash-up of Chris Judd, Anthony Koutoufides, Patrick Dangerfield, Martin and Nic Naitanui; a jaw-dropping moment that even had his hardened premiership coach Adam Simpson grinning in disbelief in the coaches box.“He was really important for us tonight. He’s carrying a heavy weight at the moment. I’m trying to be cautious about how much attention he gets but when he plays like that .
But Reid wasn’t finished producing two more memorable pieces of play in the third quarter that led to goals.
