Harley Reid has been urged to “get out” of West Coast after he copped another heavy tag in the loss to Melbourne on Saturday night.

Reid was restricted to just 13 disposals and zero clearances by Demons tough nut Jack Viney in the 32-point defeat at Optus Stadium.

Seven commentator Kane Cornes wondered if the 20-year-old would be re-considering his future, given the attention he’s faced in his second season with a lack of support in the Eagles’ midfield.

It comes as Danielle Laidley gave Reid a four out of ten in her weekly player ratings for The West Australian.

“I just wonder if this is a moment where Harley Reid thinks ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore. This is not that enjoyable where I am getting the No.1 tagger from the opposition’,” Cornes told AFL.com.au

“And Viney absolutely mauled him. This is a 31-year-old tenacious veteran that’s gone over to Harley Reid and did not leave his side for the whole night.

“Harley Reid is having a tough year, we know that... He needs help but there’s no help coming.”

West Coast midfield bull Elliot Yeo had been a massive on-field influence for Reid last year, playing 20 games to help the No.1 pick through his debut season.

But the 31-year-old, who is contracted until 2027, is yet to feature this season and is set for more surgery on a troublesome ankle injury, which is set to rule him out until the second half of the year.

“He just cannot get himself on the park,” Cornes said of Yeo. “Who is there at the Eagles to help Harley Reid?

“And he must look around at some of the other youngsters that are playing in successful sides, like Nick Daicos (at Collingwood) and yes he cops the tag, but he’s got so much support around him where if he has a flat night, he’s got help. He’s certainly got help physically around him.

“I just think he should get out, really, because there’s gonna be no help, no support for him coming at the Eagles.

“And the opposition would know that he’s susceptible if you tag him, like Melbourne did and credit to them and they limited his influence. It’s going to be a tough ask for him to cop that if he sticks around at the Eagles.”

Reid is signed until the end of next year on his initial three-year draft contract but could still seek a trade, similar to fellow former No.1 pick Jason Horne-Francis, who left North Melbourne for Port Adelaide after one season.

While West Coast would be desperate to keep Reid long-term, the club could consider a trade at the end of this season in a bid to maximise his value while under contract.

Cornes said the Eagles would have to consider their options, if Reid says he wants to leave.

“If that happens at the end of the year, then the Eagles have a real decision to make,” Cornes said.

“They can go ‘nup, we’re going to hold you to your contract and we’ll sort that out and hopefully we can change your mind in 12 months’ time and address it then’.

“Or you go ‘OK, well if we think he’s going to leave anyway, then we’ll get an absolute haul for him’.

“But the ball if in his court and until he says ‘I’m out’, the Eagles don’t have a decision to make.”
