It’s official! Reid joins West Coast | 03:55
BIG DRAWBACK FROM EAGLES’ BOLD SNUB EMERGES
Despite major interest from rival clubs, West Coast opted not to trade away the No.1 pick, landing consensus top prospect Harley Reid on Monday night.
But the drawback became clear as the first round stretched longer and longer after they got things underway.
The Eagles’ second pick, the first of the second round, is all the way down at No.30 after compensation picks and Academy/father-son bids blew out the opening round to 29 selections.
The wooden spooners would’ve had a bounty of picks had they traded down from No.1, and with holes all over their list, many experts believed it was the smarter play to add as many high picks as possible, instead of relying on Reid to be the superstar he’s billed as.
They also missed out on Next Generation Academy prospect Lance Collard when he was selected by St Kilda at No.28, while Carlton draftee Ashton Moir (taken at No.29) was too linked to their second-round selection.
They do have the benefit of the 21-hour period between the end of the first round and the start of the second, with rival clubs making offers for the opening pick of the night to ensure they don’t miss out on their preferred prospect who slid out of the first round.
Foxfooty.com.au’s Ben Waterworth reported Gippsland Power tall Archer Reid, Peel Thunder ruck Mitch Edwards and Tasmanian rebounding defender Arie Schoenmaker are among those being considered by West Coast. See all of the late mail ahead of Round 2 here.
