If Reid was keen on living in the country town of Tooborac then that’s about the best selling point we’d have for him lol.
1hr 9 minutes to Tongala and 1hr 9 minutes to training.
Can’t get that at Geelong!!

Nice 4 bedder ranch on 32 acres for 1.29 mill. Done 
I think the obvious question Reid would be asking EFC (assuming we’re in consideration) is what does our best midfield mix look like with him joining?
Reid, Merrett, Parish, Durham, Caldwell, Tsatas & Hobbs is 7 starting mids, and that’s excluding Shiel/Setterfield.
My guess is Tsatas/Hobbs would look for more opportunities elsewhere if Reid came on board, which is fine, but we’d need to be able to sell a clear vision of what we want our best side to look like, and the midfield is where we already have the most depth. Not sure if North are in the mix for Reid but he’d be asking the same question there as well.
Depending on how Scott treats him, Tsatas may be requesting opportunities at another team even if we don’t get Reid
I think he stays at west coast. The offer will be financially great and the private money from business deals he will be part of will be much larger than he can get anywhere else. He will end up a part owner in some venues across Perth for little to no cost and quickly realise what side the toast is buttered on.
I’ll take Wardlaw. When is he OOC?
I believe end of 2026 like Reid
This is exactly what I’ve been saying. A deal and contract this big isn’t figured out during the trade period. This is years in the making, with both the club and player committing.
Reid to Bombers is happening.
The poster on the Norf board seems to suggest it won’t be until 2026 though. I’m ok with that. We can use all our picks this year on the draft.
If you can’t trust a random norf supporter on a random forum, who can you trust these days

Are you expecting Essendon to follow through with an offer for Harley Reid? - via Allan on Facebook
TM: Yes, I think Essendon, like many clubs, if they get an idea that Harley Reid is looking at them, then they will offer big money on a long-term deal to bring him across.
I still think Essendon is a few deep in the pack, though. I think Hawthorn and Geelong are ahead of Essendon, but it doesn’t mean the Bombers can’t fly up, pardon the pun, given their draft hand, given their salary cap space, and given historically they are a big club.
I’m not ruling them out, but I think it is less likely.
So basically he’s got no idea and is just guessing. Wanker. How does he even still have a job.
Following Essendon is a hell of a drug…
You could be right, but even with that all being true. How do you see them satisfying a trade with west coast? Geelongs first for the next few years will all range between 15-18 and then get pushed back into the 20’s in compromised drafts. Those picks all together would be the value of a pick 2-3. West coast will want a lot more than just one top 5 pick. So ultimately Geelong would need to send a couple of very promising players and draft picks for him. Even if they can manage the salary requirements which is a big if I don’t see a world where they satisfy west coast
Yep Reid will get exactly where he wants.
Which is why Daniher won a premiership with the Swans, Dunkley is running around for us, Oliver is at the cats and Treloar will finish his career playing for Collingwood. Because all those players got to the team they wanted to be….
This.
I really really hope this isn’t true. Because if it is we’ve got another 18 months of Reid discussion throughout Blitz.
Mods: can we give Reid his own thread? Something titled like “Reid, the messiah cometh?”.
how about
Reid, harley worth the bother.
Yes, I also get angry when people say things I don’t want to hear.
The weak draft, according to twomey…
I can’t wait to see what happens if that view becomes consensus.
Especially given people are already saying this year’s draft is weak, pick 16+ this year may as well be a second rounder
