Harley Reid's extraordinary contract demand for Victorian AFL suitors
Any move for Harley Reid back to Victoria will take a record-breaking commitment.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Harley Reid re-signed with West Coast Eagles through 2028, ending speculation about a move to Victoria. The deal is described as significant for the club’s rebuild and is reported to be roughly in the vicinity of a multi-year, high-value contract.[1][2]
- There was substantial interest from Victorian clubs (notably Hawthorn and St Kilda) at various points in 2025, including discussions of offers well into the tens of millions and long-term terms, but Reid chose to stay with West Coast.[2][4][5]
- Public updates from AFL media and club sources in 2025 indicated confidence from West Coast that Reid would remain beyond the current contract, with talk of a contract extension into the late 2020s.[4][2]
If you’d like, I can:
- summarize the key figures from each report (years, total value, terms) and how they compare.
- pull quotes from the latest articles and provide a concise timeline of events.
