Nathan Buckley butts heads with AFL great over Harley Reid as Eagles urged to move for rival

AFL great Jack Riewoldt says Lachie Neale would be the perfect mentor for West Coast young gun Harley Reid after he was tagged out of the contest in the big loss to the Swans. But Nathan Buckley reckons Reid already has enough senior players to mentor him at the Eagles, and suggested criticism around the 20-year-old was a little unfair.

A relentless tag from Sydney's James Jordon blunted Reid's effectiveness in the 128-point thumping by the Swans in Round 4. And West Coast coach Andrew McQualter conceded afterwards that his young superstar didn't have enough support from teammates as he was effectively taken out of the contest in their biggest ever defeat at Optus Stadium.

West Coach coach says Harley Reid needs others to shake off a tag after being well held by Sydney's James Jordon

WEST Coast did not do enough to help star midfielder Harley Reid break his tag against Sydney on Saturday night, with coach Andrew McQualter calling on his players to boost their efforts to support the star playmaker this season. 

Reid copped his first heavy tag of the season in a humbling 128-point loss to the Swans at Optus Stadium, with disciplined stopper James Jordon restricting the No.1 pick to 17 disposals, one clearance and one mark. 

There was little support for the 20-year-old, whose frustration was evident at times, with McQualter warning the Eagles will need to do more to ensure their best player can shine under continued opposition scrutiny this season. 

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
