Tim Lamb will be holding his cards very close to his chest but at his presser he doesn’t sound like he is laser focussed on Reid

”west coast have the golden ticket” very happy with 6 and 11 if we can get a bit higher etc

It’s at 3.26 of the attached

Pavlich was so good, shame he was in WA for his whole career. Probably missed out on a bit of deserved love

An absolute gun.

Def didn't get te credit he deserved here in Vic.

Would be right up there in my all time list of best players I've watched play

13 out

4 in

9 picks over national/rookie draft or perhaps a delisted free agent plus spot held over for a pre-seasom supplemental selection.

They have 5 first rounders then picks 57 and 82.


Based on that alone, can’t see them happily giving up all those late first rounders. Wouldn’t se surprised to see them collect a few rejects like Mathieson.

The reality is we are no chance of getting pick 1 without North providing us pick 2 or 3, and North want Reid as much as any club. 

The Harley Reid dream is over as far as I'm concerned. A deal between WCE and North will get done.

The AFL has engineered it, with free picks flying to Arden street.

Extended highlights. Massive props to the person that's been putting all these draft videos together.

This one is slightly different in that the video is broken down by skillset eg. Marking, contested work etc..

Yep, he's good :)

No wonder, in June, we flagged our wish to have him. 

Miracles do happen...

His handball creativity reminds me of Oliver's first few years

Reid is an amazing prospect

On these highlights he really is...the best all round package I can remember seeing.

There was a great premiership coach who believed kicking on your opposite foot was highly overrated.

His stoppage work is a cross between Neale and Trac and disposal akin to Oliver. Smart footballer. I think he'll be a great player and given his style will quickly rise in the AFL ranks and hopefully displace all the talk around N.Daicos sooner rather than later.

No left foot. It's a huge risk for WCE to ignore the substantial offers being made for pick 1.

Daicos is a beauty, unfortunately he has to play for C/wood.

A clear run with injury and Reid will be up there no doubt.

Harley Reid, a highly anticipated draft prospect in the AFL, is almost certain to play for West Coast in 2024. Rival clubs are racing to offer the Eagles an out-of-this-world deal to trade the No.1 draft pick and get first access to Reid, who is seen as a clone of three-time Norm Smith medallist Dustin Martin. The Eagles have not had any proposals from other clubs that were yet to catch their eye, despite several being interested.

The picks only trade period ends on Friday, leaving only opening draft night on November 20 for a deal to go through. North Melbourne and Melbourne have been the key players offering at least two deals to get a trade done with the Eagles, including an offer of pick 2 and two of their late first-round selections (15, 17, or 18) for 1 and 23.

Melbourne have also come hard for the pick, putting forward 6, 11, 42 and a future first-rounder for just pick No.1.

Both deals have not made the Eagles move, making it more likely than unlikely that the wooden spooners will hold onto the pick. Tongala prodigy Reid is almost certain to head West, having long been touted as the best prospect in this year's draft. Reid will automatically sign a three-year deal instead of the previously normal two-year contract under the new CBA rules, giving West Coast strong bargaining power should he request a trade back to Victoria.

This will be the third time the Eagles have used the No.1 pick, having previously picked up dual premiership player Drew Banfield (1992) and former All-Australian ruckman Michael Gardiner (1996). However, the Eagles are likely to buck the minor trend unless they pull a shock move and pick Tigers utility Daniel Curtin with the first pick in the draft.

Curtin is almost certain to be picked inside the first half a dozen selections and was invited to the first night of the draft alongside Subiaco forward Koltyn Tholstrup.

Would like to think we could do a reverse Luke Jackson for Reid end of 2027. My guess is that some Melbourne club will make the mega offer. He could be the first $2M a year player. If he lives up to the hype he'll easily command 6 x $1.6+ in 2027

He's from country Victoria and is a Geelong supporter. Will likely be down at the cattery in a few years time and handed the keys to the city.

Not only that, Reid's fend-offs are more like Harmsey's than Dusty's - HUGE RISK!

Given that article that WC will keep 1, makes me think they are certain to trade it.

IMO, the key is whether WC believe Curtin will be there at our pick 6.

The Hawks and North possibly, hold the key. If WC believe they won’t take Curtin, I believe we will get 1, if we are prepared to sell the farm.

TBH, I would keep 6 and 11 and take Curtin and whoever we rate at 11.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
