Past and present guns don’t want Harley to lose aggression
Young West Coast leader Reuben Ginbey says they don’t want to take the aggression out of Harley Reid’s game as the star continues to be scrutinised for his on-field discipline.
It comes as one of the modern-day great captains, Luke Hodge, told The West Australian he could relate to the young Eagle and that he would’ve loved to have led the “ultra competitive” beast in Reid.
Eagles coach Andrew McQualter was notably upset with his team’s lack of discipline in their 46-point defeat to Geelong at Norwood Oval on Sunday.
Asked if the leadership group had spoken to Reid about the undisciplined acts, Ginbey said: “No, we haven’t this year, yet. We know that he plays with his heart on his sleeve, and we love his aggression and the way he plays.”
