West Coast rising star Harley Reid might only be 19 years old and still learning the ropes in the AFL . But a stellar performance in the derby win over Fremantle confirmed the No.1 draft pick is living up to the hype, and an interview afterwards showed he’s taking it all perfectly in his stride. Reid starred in the stunning 16.9 to 10.8 victory with three goals from 19 disposals but was upstaged for the Glendinning-Allan Medal by Elliot Yeo . The teenager took notice of the votes, too.
“We’re aware of the timeline and we’re aware it’s Round 6 so we’re not sitting on our hands, put it that way,” chief executive Don Pyke told Triple M. The Eagles are already fortunate to have Reid locked in for three years, up from the previous two. But the new regulations are a give and take, with the club for now only permitted to extend the Victorian’s deal by one year. “We’ll talk about that with his management. It comes down to what he’s comfortable with,” Pyke added.
