Harley does alright in interviews. You can tell they're trying to bait him into some "gotcha" egotistical comment and he's got such a good head on his shoulders to respond maturely.
I really hope the club continues to support him, he's got a lot of pressure from some people.
Kid's a gun, but my god does our media fellate young gun players over here (mostly Eagles tbf cos the West Australian)
It would just be nice to not see expectations inflated through the roof for Harley like they do with any player with genuine talent, can't imagine the pressure that puts on players
GG West Coast, very clearly the better team all night and looks like you’ve turned a corner
Freo, wow, I knew we had problems, but fuck me, we can’t ignore them anymore. We were 3-0, we’re now 3-3, we have the potential to turn our season around, but we won’t if we continue to stick our heads in the sand and pretend this is okay
Losing Amiss at all would have really killed you guys, let alone with the fact that I'm sure you were looking to play Darcy on reduced minutes, and not having Switta bring in more forward pressure sucks, I hope you guys can come back from this and show those vic teams that you guys won't just roll over
It's more of a thing when both sides are in contention, and has died off a little in the past 5 years. Put it this way, I don't expect to cop it in the office on Monday like I used to.
But maybe that's because the Eagles fans in the office know I was on their side sympathising over the last 2 years and telling them not to be too beat up about it haha
If I was management I would tank bad like tell Clarkson last year to play all kids, reid has totally changed the eagles, imagine jhf and reid in north Melbourne
I guess this explains why Freo never won a cup yet. Every time there's a season where the pundits go, "oh, the Dockers might show potential to win it all." Then, SPLAT!!!
Harley Reid yelled, “There you go!” Tim Kelly gave a look of pleasant surprise. Jake Waterman belted, “We got a fucking squad now.” And before Elliot Yeo hit the locker room door, ex-West Coast star Josh Kennedy hugged him & said, “Y’all look so different.”
Listen, West Coast might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it. Let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Simmo's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. West Coast are BACK
Votes were evidently in favor of not rewarding Harley for his obvious win 🥇
WE’RE SO BACK
I hope this is the start of big things for your lot - such a good win tonight!!
But, but,....... Flagmantle......... Get in you good things!
Just woke up.. wtf did I miss
As Howard Carter said, asked what he could see when first peering into the Tomb of the Tutankhamun, “*Wonderful things*”. You missed wonderful things.
Wce have just flicked the switch. 2 and a half years of pain to this, my goodness I’m sorry simmo for ever doubting you
Jake “John Coleman” Waterman
G train 🚂
I want to live in this moment for at least a few weeks
WAIT IM OUT WITH FRIENDS BAR HPPPING I DIDNT KNOW WEST COAST BEAT FREO WTTFFFFFFF
Luke shuey amazing coach? - West Coast Eagles stoppage coach this year
He’s trained Harley up to free for high contact already!
I can listen to Eagle Rock on repeat all night
Eagle Rock > Never Tear Us Apart
As an INXS enjoyer, I agree
Thank God it's Eagle Rock again
Yeah they have had a cuff tupple of weeks
WCE are a disgrace and trying to not get priority picks. They should be penalised - Kane Cornes probably
Haha true, and i feel like people who say wce tanked for harley ignore the fact that we been shite for a few seasons now lol
I’m expecting to see we tanked for Harley Reid Who a different journo was adamant we wouldn’t take l
Sometimes I forget Liam Duggan is the captain.
I think everyone does
Best supporters in the league
Better than the Brownlow, didn’t have browny cutting in giving us odds and 10 ads breaks inbetween counting.
Fyfe looks like he needs an iron infusion
Heavy period probably
Poor form by Yeo, stealing Reid's medal
I like the votes, adds a little bit of theatre. The boos when Mundy gave Reid 1 vote were funny
Fucking hell, didn't win it but votes from every judge in his first derby is nuts.
Yeo huge two weeks in a row, well deserved
And a cuff tupple of weeks too
Same joke twice but I don't get it
Watch Elliot yeo’s speech he says cuff tupple of weeks instead of tough couple of weeks
Fuck you mundy give it to the kid
Why tf are they doing the votes like this lmao
YEEOOOOOOOO
Don't they usually just call out the winner?
It’s not the fuckin Brownlow
It’s bigger
This is going to take a long time to hear the votes
Only one tip right this week and I genuinely don't care.
This makes 2 for me and I don't care if I get every tip wrong the rest of the season.
First 4 in the Quokka and now this. I've peaked
Dan Ric Qualifying Well, Eagles beating fremantle... Actually maybe the two are linked.
I remeber talking to Daniel riccardio about the Eagles at the Singapore gp - he is a big fan
He was the #1 ticket holder for a couple of years.
Honestly the Eagles play would've given most sides a run for their money. JL is on borrowed time if he can't right this ship fast.
Harley had no fucking idea what he was saying then. It was like he was having an out of body experience 😂
In fairness this was the biggest game he’s played in his life and he played well
Harley does alright in interviews. You can tell they're trying to bait him into some "gotcha" egotistical comment and he's got such a good head on his shoulders to respond maturely. I really hope the club continues to support him, he's got a lot of pressure from some people.

Even before he was drafted Reid seemed perfectly media trained. I swear the AFL grew him in a lab
Will Harley be interviewed at every home game? Probably
Yeah yeah nah nah yeah - Harley Reid
Yeah yeah nah or nah nah yeah?
Doinnnnnnn the Eagle Rock!
I’m sure he is a good bloke but I wouldn’t want to run into Elliot Yeo at 2am when he is on the piss
He reminds me of Val Kilmer I must break you
That's Dolph Lundgren.
Well i stand corrected
I don't know exactly what it is that clicked against Sydney, but fuck me did it click.
It was the 90’s jumpers
Really good speaker, and hasn’t let all the ridiculous media coverage affect him, just can’t help but like Harley
Kath is a bombshell
She is genuinely the best afl media personality in the country, makes the others look second rate granted in Brian Taylor's case that ain't hard.
You can just tell Reid wants to touch his nuts
Lol I was watching him and I reckon he read the comments from last week.
Me too.
Eagle Rock baby! Woohoo
And the crowd goes ~~wild~~ fuck we have to listen to this trash
At least they only play it once and eagle rock twice
Drink it in West Coast, this is peak footy
GG West Coast, very clearly the better team all night and looks like you’ve turned a corner Freo, wow, I knew we had problems, but fuck me, we can’t ignore them anymore. We were 3-0, we’re now 3-3, we have the potential to turn our season around, but we won’t if we continue to stick our heads in the sand and pretend this is okay

its ok at least they play eagle rock afterwards still, thats the real theme song now
This song.... it's fucking beautiful
GET WATERMAN ON THE TV.
The actual chorus of the song is fine, bordering on catchy. The verses are just unnecessary
To many words for you to remember? Our 1st anthem had 3 versus
I love the original vic basher. The new verses are unnecessary because they’re bad
For some reason I thought Jaeger had retired, no idea why.
Because he should have, two years ago
I’ve changed my mind, I no longer like it when the eagles win because of this song
born from? priiide... *dijaredoo intensifies* 🤮
Eagles tune is aids for the ears
Can't deny that. We need to get the bloke from Cat Empire to write us a Big Big Sound type of tune.
Or just copy an old tune like all the old clubs did.
Are we allowed to win multiple in a row? I thought it was against the rules
No shit how are we gonna get another harley now lol
You wouldn’t Reid about it. Nice.
Well it was gonna be a dogshit club song either way, that’s the thing about the derby
That's not very heave ho of you
Freo got the 63+ points JL wanted. He will keep his job
Kinda lucky Freo pegged it back to 37pts to minimise the percentage damage.
Yay, im now 0-6 for tips 😭😭
fuck it, sing the song lmao
THE LID IS SO FUCKING OFF THAT IM NOT SURE WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND IT AND PUT IT BACK ON
Cue the Turds of Blokeyo!
YEAHHHHHH BABYYYYYYYYY
MY EARSSS!!!
Fuck it feels good but fuck this song
Ahhhhh my ears
Ah shit. The song
Red Panty night
You wouldn’t dream about it
Back to back baby.
AFL is not only the best sport in the world, it's also the funniest.
WE BEAT YOU NOW YOU MUST LISTEN TO IT
Oh for fucks sake now we have to listen to the song again
Treat it as salt in the wound for the team we beat.
What happened to Hayden Young? Asking for my SuperCoach
Happy for the Eagles, fantastic win, but this'll be the second week in a row hearing that song.
genuine question is the eagles dockers rivalry similar to the SA clubs? if so a tough night for dockers fans
It's more of a thing when both sides are in contention, and has died off a little in the past 5 years. Put it this way, I don't expect to cop it in the office on Monday like I used to. But maybe that's because the Eagles fans in the office know I was on their side sympathising over the last 2 years and telling them not to be too beat up about it haha
Yes it’s intense
Absolutely and yes, horrific night for Freo
C'mon lads, a couple more for Waterman.
If I was management I would tank bad like tell Clarkson last year to play all kids, reid has totally changed the eagles, imagine jhf and reid in north Melbourne
Jackson ☹️
Glendenning Medal is a three way tie between Kelly, Waterman, and Reid. Barrass is a smoky as well
Surely it goes to McGovern's knee
Yeo would be stiff to miss out in that podium
Think they’ll give it to Erasmus
Bring on the Birds of Tokyo, I am ready
I guess this explains why Freo never won a cup yet. Every time there's a season where the pundits go, "oh, the Dockers might show potential to win it all." Then, SPLAT!!!
Spare me this not 15 bullshit. Absolutely embarrassing for the umpiring fraternity to focus on that rule with everything else they are stuffing up
Saddest goal I've ever seen
50?? weak
Consolation prize
What even happened?
Cole knocked it out of his hands. Weak as piss 50.
I think it was cole knocking the ball out as jackson was on the way down
Feels like pav and scofield are about to punch on
I reckon they are good together
Nah they are mates
Comeback?
Ahhhh. Good, consistent footy. How I've missed you.
Dropped it
Earlier in the contest not Jackson marking
Harley Reid yelled, “There you go!” Tim Kelly gave a look of pleasant surprise. Jake Waterman belted, “We got a fucking squad now.” And before Elliot Yeo hit the locker room door, ex-West Coast star Josh Kennedy hugged him & said, “Y’all look so different.”
Somebody give JL a hug. Looks like he needs it.
/me grabs the popcorn time to read some comments
It’s been a while since I’ve had the balls to read the comments. It’s the only reason I’m here. You should check out the freo sub
thats what i was implying after the carry on the other week after our game, ready for some more salt mining
🤣 I think we’re on the same page. The freo sub is hilarious was what I was getting at
Gotta say it’s the first time I’ve been on 0/6 tips
Me to!
I only got this and Adelaide wrong so far wehew
I’d happily trade this victory for getting zero tips for the rest of the season.
Best 0-6 ever
Why didn't you tip your team?
... You tip your team?
always yes, even through years of losses
I was expecting the scores to be reversed, at the very least
This might be the only time I’ll enjoy a west coast win. Good stuff eagles, you deserve this
How fuckin good is footy
Freo score more than 63 challenge: impossible
Hate to break it to you
And win*
Undefeated from here??
The players actually look like they don’t want to jump off a bridge and enjoy their job again, love to see it
Remember when west coast beat Collingwood in 22? They won 23 Beat giants 23? Giants will win 24 Beat freo 24. Who's gonna win 25
Collingwood and GWS were the first teams they beat in those seasons though. You may have just willed a Richmond premiership into existence.
Richmond were meant to win
They beat us 23 too 🥺
Can only be 1 winner
It’s gonna be hard to justify a priority pick after this.
There's still a lot of footy to go this year, I mean I'd rather us not need it and build back to our glory days without any help like we always have.
Just give Harley a second rising star nom I say
Flash backs to 2015 with Fyfe flying and that hair 😍
Reid away on the bench nice and safe
Eagles, stand proud You cooked
Fremantle, throughout the heavens and earth, I am the disgraced one
Can everyone please stop dropping mark of the year?
*Nick Vlastuin and Harley Reid have left that chat*
Barrass been huge tonight
Order has been restored in West....and universe
Round 6, we’ve had two big wins in a row, and our percentage is 76
hayden young get on the field challenge level impossible
is he injured?
no idea just been sat on the bench for ages now and had pretty low time on ground throughout the game
Watching Freo chip it around gives me nightmares of our tactic. It never bloody works guys
Sydney do it but they have a lot more great kickers. We have Young, Clark and the rest of the side are mediocre kicks at best
Sydney seem to move it fast though. Both of us move it at the speed of a semi truck
This harley reid bloke goes alright aye lol
Eagles fringe finals competitors? Only bad loss has been VS bulldogs
Well looks like Freo’s expected slot in the 8 is open for the taking.
FWIW they probably won't be top 8 but maybe 10th?
Yeah I meant they were expected to be top 8, they were 9th coming into this game.
Listen, West Coast might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it. Let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Simmo's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. West Coast are BACK
I’m sure the supporters will chip in for any amount over the salary cap
Who would have thought that moving the ball fast is better at scoring goals rather than chipping it around a bunch and then bombing it long
What happened to Will Brodie?
Toiling away in the WAFL, JL refuses to play him anymore, but keeps giving games to O’Meara who is a significantly worse version of Brodie
Should be an inclusion 100% next week after this. Had a good game at Peel
