Harley Reid public enemy number one for North Melbourne but West Coast rising star still takes highlight
Harley Reid has found himself in the crosshairs once again as North Melbourne go after the West Coast youngster but the young gun still had the highlight of the half.
As has been the case in recent weeks Reid has not been shying away from the contest with the Eagles rising star was involved in several scuffles in the first half of their clash against North Melbourne.
Reid wrestled with Jackson Archer after trying to rip the ball away as the Roo was being tackled before he drew the ire of Cameron Zurhaar following a contest on the wing.
“I reckon Zurhaarr went into the game tyhinking I don’t want my match payment I’m happy to give it away,” Cameron Mooney said on commentary.
“I just think Reid is giving as good as he’s getting and good on him.
“I wonder if it’s a directive from Alistair Clarkson every time Reid goes near it,” Gerard Healy commented
