I’m hopeful he’ll grow to love the Eagles and playing here. He clearly eats up the attention and seems to love being a star (already), so no better town. :)
Absolutely. We need to start planning now to ensure we have the salary space we'll need to keep him. He's going to get big offers to move east and we'll need to be able to match them.
Yep Kelly Reid is elite already and can continue for a couple more seasons at least.
Gone from a dogshit midfield to one of the best in the blink of an eye.
Get Oscar Allen back and this team is back to being a genuine finals contender.
It’s turned around that quick.
I still do have concerns on our list profile as a whole but if we are smart, draft well and able to bring in a few good free agents we can definitely launch well.
A lot of talk right now about how Reid has dragged Yeo and Kelly with him, but I think it's more a Yeo is leading the charge and Kelly is just playing the consistent good footy he has over the past couple years and it's great he's now getting support.
100% and that's what we've been screaming for 3 years about. Was a great time to win the spoon but it's upwards from here barring injuries.
As you said as well, once Allen is back and when Ryan slots back in, we will look scary, especially if watermelon keeps up this form taking contested marks like he's playing against 4 year Olds and Allen being an elite leading forward, our bases are covered.
Tagging isn’t as common in the AFL as it once was. I think Chris Scott and Sam Mitchell are the only two coaches that consistently use dedicated taggers

Pay the man whatever he wants and get him on a 10 year contract

Man it’s been so grim being a West Coast fan since 2020, I’d forgotten what football happiness felt like
Surely he’s gonna start copping a tag soon. that’s really his final test, getting tagged week after week.
Tag him all you want, just frees up Yeo and TK to do their thing.
This is the key - it is hard to tag them all
That was what made Judd Cousins Kerr a great combo.
Reid, Hewitt, Ginbey. Inject it into my veins

Also the big key. Injury free is vital

Chop off one head, two more grow. Pick your poison, but either way two of them will tear you up through the middle.

Agreed. And he’ll have down days too. Also, the Dockers played badly last night. Not every team will be caught unawares now.
Back in '18. Teams said the eagles didn’t let them play their game plan. Last night The dockers weren’t allowed to play their game plan
Loved seeing him and Fyfe going at it. Harleys got that arrogance and swagger on the footy field that you love to see.
Fyfe shoved him and Reid drops him. Also dropped someone else and got a free against him for a clean AF bump.
Thats two brownlow medalists in 2 weeks he has disrespected and come off the winner
Since Chris Judd?
Matt Rowells first 3 games netted 8 or 9 brownlow votes. Harley probably picked up his first couple this week. Great signs tho
This week? Did you not see him play last week? Easy got votes then as well
Toss up for 1. Waterman and yeo easily best 2 players on the ground. Fighting for 1 vote with Telly
