Back in the middle now, looks much better there ….

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

Much better game today, 25 touches and more disciplined. Will find more form as the season goes and his fitness builds but couldn't have really had a more difficult start to the year against 4 likely top 8 sides with a less than ideal pre season and no yeo for support. Lot of water to go under the bridge yet.

1st half was terrible but 2nd half did very well
Not sure why he has been played instead of getting him fit and ready to play his natural position
only just gets attention to the kid.

Played better, but yeah not great got a bit of the ball turned it over a bit but good progress, I guess.

Wasn't terrible just wasnt able to find it like most of the team against a well drilled, talent stacked opponent. 18 touch 2nd half hopefully gives him a bit of confidence going into next week.

Have had no other options really as Yeo has been out of the side, Kelly is wildly out of form and Hewett has been in and out as well, midfield depth is our biggest issue. Hall and Gross had solid games all things considered so hopefully those 2 can become a consistent part of the midfield rotation, and praying for Yeo to be back soon which will be a boost.

When is Yeo due back also waterman

Waterman was a test this week so hopefully in for gather round. Few more weeks for yeo so hopefully in the side by the time we face you guys otherwise could be Tigs 2nd win of the season while we remain winless.

I don't think anybody could blame Harley if he leaves. The AFL botched trade system means he doesn't have the level of talent from his own draft year to support him that he deserves. Eagles didn't have picks 1,19,37, I think it was 1,28,45 effectively.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Looks like he’s got a bowling ball under his jumper. Needs to get fit and take the game seriously.

 

[Red4]

Does not give a ****. JHF mkII.

Dgaf because he’s in a shit team that has lost before it’s started 9/10 games they play. You get him fit and you actually give him an actually good coach / development and proper leaders he will excel, hawks fans saying they don’t want him are crazy.

If he ends up at the bombers, they will butcher his development and probably overpay him which will make it worse. Hope for his sake he ends up at us or the cats

If I was Harley and I valued my being the best player I could be as highly as how much I’m being paid- I don’t look at any other (Vic) team than the Cats or Hawks. Possibly Collingwood also but that’s not going to happen.

cant butcher it as much as its already being butchered

Nik Nat Syndrome.

Get the buggers fit at the start of the season, otherwise make them work till they get 100% fit. Yep I know, "all players are equal in a team, but some are treated with kid gloves".

 

[Daka]

Eagles have bigger problems than just Harley Reid.

I honestly feel like it's best for both parties to part ways, WCE needs an influx of talent not just 1 elite talent.

Nah let them keep him
Teach these kids they have to honor commitments when they enter the draft

 

[Scotland]

literally the only people who think Reid is worth a massive draft hand is WCE supporters

And the ones talking him down are fans of the clubs linked to him. Funny how that works.

He has all the hallmarks of a kid who pushed everyone around at junior level but now he can’t to it in the big time he has no coping mechanism.

Did you start watching football in 2025?

colour me shocked.

Everyone else seems to want to avoid this like a COVID outbreak.

Eagles should just up their offer and keep him if he's that valuable.

I think he is worth a massive draft hand

he's a second year player who has a gut, Trac was pretty fat early on and once he shed that and got super fit his game went to another level

Harley is a lot more talented than Petracca too and Petracca is a Rolls Royce

rubbish

Trac wouldn't have gone near 3 x Top 10 first round picks at any point in his career.

A 24-year-old Prime time Chris Judd who had multiple AA's, Brownlow and a premiership didn't even go near it.

Funny how that works.

Everyone else can see he is unfit and undisciplined and sooks and tries to fight anyone who tackles him

I have said several times that I hope he stays at the WCE, I can see why that triggers you though.

I'm wondering if Reid's form will have an upward curve, when Yeo returns ?.

He seems to be the player / mentor, to channel Reid's excursions.

No WC fans actually want to trade him.

 

[TazHawk15]

No WC fans actually want to trade him.

In that case I prey he goes to Essendon.

In fact if he does nominate them I will be the first one to talk him up.

Yeo is our most important player. He and Reid feed off each other's energy and even Tim Kelly looks interested when he is in there.

While I don't think it will happen I would like to see Reid with Chad Warner for a year. Both have a bit of kent about them.
