West Coast’s young star Harley Reid is making waves in the AFL, with a maiden goal and seven impressive broken tackles in his best performance yet for the team.
The highly-touted No.1 draft pick showed his potential in the Eagles’ recent match against Sydney, where he notched up 18 disposals, seven tackles, and four clearances.
Reid’s standout 10-minute performance in the second quarter helped lift West Coast to their first winning quarter of the season, despite ultimately falling to the Swans.
Fans are already calling for Reid to be nominated for this round’s rising star award, with competition from Gold Coast’s Sam Clohesy who had a strong debut against the Giants.
The Rising Star award recognizes players under 21 who have shown exceptional talent in their first 10 games.
Former Essendon player Matthew Lloyd praised Reid’s performance, likening him to some of the game’s top stars.
Reid’s consistent performances in his four appearances have not gone unnoticed, with his quality disposals and impact on the game standing out.
Several players have already been nominated for the Rising Star award this season, highlighting the talent on display in the AFL.
