West Coast’s Harley Reid celebrates his goal in the Rd 6 victory over the Fremantle Dockers at Optus Stadium.West Coast’s Harley Reid celebrates his goal in the Rd 6 victory over the Fremantle Dockers at Optus Stadium.
When Jye Amiss was kneed in the head and carted off, the Dockers’ scoring options dried up even more. They have been excellent at times this year. But they can’t score. And if they’re incapable of conjuring up more than ten goals against this West Coast backline, they can’t be considered a serious team.
But they’re a different team when Elliot Yeo is fit and his groins are functional. And they’re a different team with Harley Reid. You may have heard of him. If not, a cursory glance at the last hundred editions of The West Australian should fill you in.. On the morning of his debut, and I’m not making this up, sponsor Puma booked the entire back page, which was blacked out and simply read “Good luck Mate”. One can imagine Robert Walls muttering “the kid would want to get a kick.
Prior to the draft, he was pestered for autographs at airports. He was asked who he’d like to be selected by in an ideal world. Collingwood, he said, for their culture, their coach and their crowds. And Geelong, because he barracked for them. But when you’re that good, you usually go to the worst team. As always, there were cautionary tales. Nic Naitanui, who presented him with his jumper, was in a moon boot, and knew all about hype, the Perth bubble and footy’s cruel twists.
