Is Harley Reid any good?
Short answer: the numbers say yes. Harley Reid’s 2025 season across multiple stat-tracking sources paints the picture of a high-impact young midfielder. According to AFL Tables (statistics database), he played 6 games in 2025 with 100 disposals, 28 marks, 14 tackles, 2 goals, and 2 behinds. Footyinfo (player stats aggregator) shows a fuller season of 19 games, averaging 18.8 disposals, 2.5 marks, 0.7 goals, and 67 AFL Fantasy points per game.
How did Harley Reid perform in his debut season?
- 2024 (rookie year): 20 games, known for explosive bursts through midfield (Wikipedia – community-edited encyclopedia)
- 2025 (second season): 19 games, 358 disposals, 14 goals, 66 tackles according to OzFootball (AFL stats archive)
- FinalSiren (game-by-game stats site) logs 343 disposals, 44 marks, 65 tackles, 12 goals, and 11 behinds for 2025
The pattern: Reid is a high-volume midfielder who hits the scoreboard. His disposal count is elite for a second-year player.
What do AFL profiles say about Harley Reid?
The West Coast Eagles (official club profile) describes him as “one of the AFL’s most exciting emerging stars” in 2025. Fox Sports (Australian sports broadcaster) reported in November 2024 that new coach Andrew McQualter would make Reid a midfielder first and foremost, emphasizing his primary role.
What role does Harley Reid play for West Coast Eagles?
Reid is listed as a midfielder on the West Coast Eagles (official club profile). He rotates through centre bounces and has been used forward at times, but the club’s stated plan is to keep him in the engine room.
Harley Reid is already producing at a level that justifies the hype. For West Coast fans, the trade-off: letting him develop as a pure midfielder means fewer flashy forward cameos, but the disposals and tackles suggest it’s the right call.
How much is Harley Reid getting paid?
Here the picture gets murkier. Multiple media reports offer conflicting numbers, and official AFL salary data is not publicly itemised per player. What we can piece together: According to The West Australian (Perth news outlet), Reid was on a base salary of $130,000 in 2024, plus $4,000 match payments, with $200,000 expected the next season. SEN (sports radio network) reported in August 2025 that his initial three-year deal averaged $460,000 in 2025, rising to $520,000 in 2027.
What is Harley Reid’s AFL contract worth?
Nine News (Australian commercial broadcaster) reported in November 2025 that Reid signed a contract extension through the end of 2028, reportedly worth as much as $2 million per season. The West Coast Eagles (official club profile) confirmed a two-year extension through 2028 but did not disclose financial terms.
The catch: the $2 million figure is unconfirmed by the club or the AFL Players’ Association. ESPN (global sports network) reported that Reid rejected rival offers but did not name a dollar figure.
What is Harley Reid’s net worth?
No official source lists Harley Reid’s net worth. Given his base salary and match payments from his rookie deal, any net worth estimate would be speculative. Bottom line: Net worth should not be treated as a confirmed number until a reputable financial source publishes it.
How are AFL player salaries reported?
AFL clubs are not required to publish individual player salaries. Media reports often cite “sources close to the deal” or estimate based on the club’s total salary cap. The AFL (league governing body) discloses total player payments per club but not per player.
What this means: Until official numbers emerge, any contract figure is a rumor.
Why did Harley Reid get suspended?
Suspension details are conspicuously absent from the major sources reviewed. The AFL (league governing body) publishes tribunal outcomes, but no specific Harley Reid suspension was found in the research notes or verified facts. This may be a case of internet rumour outpacing official record.
What did the AFL Tribunal consider?
Without a named incident in sourced material, we cannot confirm any tribunal appearance for Reid. If a suspension occurred, it would be recorded on the AFL Tribunal (official disciplinary body) website. As of this writing, no such record appears in the top-tier sources we reviewed.
How much has Harley Reid been fined?
No confirmed fine amount exists in the accessible data. Any claim about a specific fine (e.g., “$5,000”) would be invented unless sourced from the AFL or a reputable news outlet.
What is Harley Reid’s discipline record?
According to AFL Tables (statistics database) and FinalSiren (stats archive), Reid’s on-field stats show 11 frees against in 2025 – a typical number for a tackling midfielder. No disciplinary points or suspensions are recorded in these databases.
If you’ve heard Reid was suspended, check the AFL Tribunal website directly. The lack of a sourced record suggests the rumour may be unsubstantiated – or the incident was too minor to register in the databases used for this research.
The pattern: No official suspension record exists in the reviewed sources.
Who is better, Harley Reid or Murphy Reid?
This question keeps popping up in fan forums, but answering it requires a direct statistical comparison – and that’s harder than it looks. Murphy Reid is also a young AFL player (Fremantle Dockers), but no single source compares the two with current, matched metrics.
How do Harley Reid and Murphy Reid compare statistically?
We can’t produce a direct head-to-head table from the research notes because Murphy Reid’s stats are not included in any of the sources we consulted. The AFL Tables (statistics database) covers Harley only. A fair comparison would require identical game counts, role context, and opponent quality.
That said, here’s what we can place side by side using publicly available data:
| Metric | Harley Reid (2025) | Murphy Reid (2025) – approximate from club profiles |
|---|---|---|
| Games | 19 | Not yet established at AFL level |
| Disposals per game | 18.8 | Data unavailable in tier 1/2 sources |
| Goals per game | 0.7 | Data unavailable |
| Tackles per game | 3.4 | Data unavailable |
| Draft position | No. 1 (2023 national draft) | No. 14 (2023 national draft) |
The implication: Harley has a full season of AFL output; Murphy is still developing. A “better” verdict requires more data and role context.
Are Harley Reid and Murphy Reid related?
No source in our research confirms a family relationship between the two. Both share the surname Reid and entered the AFL in the same draft, but the Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia) page for Harley does not list Murphy as a sibling. Treating them as brothers without a named source would be speculation.
What are their different AFL roles?
Harley is a midfielder for West Coast. Murphy, according to Fremantle’s official site, is listed as a forward/midfielder. Their clubs are direct WA rivals, adding local spice but no statistical basis for comparison yet.
Comparing Harley and Murphy Reid is like comparing a sedan to a concept car. Harley has driven 19 AFL games; Murphy hasn’t started the engine in the seniors. Fans should wait until both have comparable sample sizes.
Who are Harley Reid’s parents?
Harley Reid’s parents are not named in any of the top-tier sources we reviewed. The West Coast Eagles (official club profile) does not list family members. Wikipedia entries for AFL players typically only include family if they are also football figures.
Who is Harley Reid’s sister?
No confirmed sister is named in accessible records. Social media speculation should not be treated as fact.
Who is Harley Reid’s brother?
Similarly, no brother is confirmed. The only Reid brother in the AFL is Murphy Reid (Fremantle), but the Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia) does not list him as a sibling.
Who is Harley Reid’s mentor?
No mentor is named in the research notes. The Fox Sports (Australian sports broadcaster) piece mentions coach Andrew McQualter’s plans but does not assign a specific mentor.
Who manages Harley Reid?
No management details appear in tier 1 or tier 2 sources. AFL player managers are often listed by the AFL Players’ Association, but no such record for Reid was found in the research.
Why this matters: For fans wanting to understand Reid’s support network, the lack of sourced information means any claims about his family or management are unverifiable. Stick to known facts: his birth date, club, and on-field performance.
Is Harley Reid in a relationship?
This is the most-asked personal question online, and the answer is: we don’t know from reliable sources. No interview, club profile, or news report in our research notes confirms a partner or living arrangement.
Who does Harley Reid live with?
Unknown. AFL rookies often live with host families or teammates, but no confirmed arrangement for Reid is published. The West Coast Eagles (official club profile) does not include this detail.
What has Harley Reid said about his personal life?
In the limited social media content referenced in the research, Reid explained his ankle injury against Brisbane but did not discuss relationships. The West Australian (Perth news outlet) reported on his contract, not his personal life.
How private is Harley Reid about his personal life?
Very. The absence of confirmed relationship, living, or family details suggests Reid – or his management – keeps a tight boundary around off-field matters. Respecting that privacy is consistent with the ethical reporting approach of this profile.
If you see a detailed account of Reid’s girlfriend, parents, or net worth on social media or gossip sites, treat it as unverified. Until a credible outlet publishes it with a named source, it belongs in the “unclear” column.
What this means: Personal-life details remain private until proven otherwise.
