Overview

  • Harley Reid and top draftee Bo Allan both suffered low-grade syndesmosis ankle injuries in the Western Derby and at training, ruling them out for the remainder of 2025.
  • Reid’s management has proposed a two-year contract extension with an option to extend up to 11 years, potentially worth about $24 million in total.
  • In an Instagram sign-off, Reid wrote “We’ll keep building together,” hinting at his intention to remain with the Eagles beyond his current deal.
  • CEO Don Pyke confirmed that negotiations have been positive and that the club’s leadership group aims to finalise an agreement before the season concludes.
  • AFL figures remain divided over the wisdom of committing to a lengthy, high-value deal given West Coast’s salary-cap challenges and ongoing rebuild.
