Harley Reid, WA’s shining star and Geoff Christian Medal winner, faces a two-game ban to kick off the 2027 season after a dangerous tackle — a penalty he calls a “WA tax,” hinting at potential bias if he’d played in Victoria. Despite averaging over 24 disposals and earning club champion honors, Reid’s aggressive style has landed him more free kicks and drawn criticism — but he’s focused on mental resilience and refining his game. The Eagles are counting on Reid, Duursma, and Ginbey to lead their charge back up the ladder, supported by the new Matt Priddis Academy — a holistic program boosting skills, camaraderie, and mindset for young talent.
