‘Harley Reid fund': Hawks fans' hilarious bid to lure Eagle
Hawthorn fans have poked fun at trade rumours linking West Coast young gun Harley Reid to the club, donating to the club's new facility fundraiser under his name. The Hawks are aiming to raise $2 million in a 24-hour blitz ahead of the move to their new Dingley headquarters, the Kennedy Community Centre, later this year. Supporters and members are encouraged to donate funds to ensure the facilities feature 'every piece needed by the club's players and coaches to claim Hawthorn's 14th AFL premiership, and first AFLW flag,' the fundraiser statement reads. While most donors have used their real names, others have gone rogue. One contributor, named 'Harley Reid' has donated $4 with the message: 'See you guys at Dingley - for my fund.' There was also a $16 contribution titled 'The Harley Reid fund'. The Hawks are among a number of Victorian clubs with strong interest in the former No.1 pick, who is expected to draw offers from rivals for up to $2 million per season, despite being contracted until next year at the Eagles. Rumours of a potential move were sent into overdrive when The West Australian published an image of Reid sitting next to Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell at premiership Eagle turned Hawks defender Tom Barrass' wedding earlier this year. But Reid isn't the only name that has shown up on the club's fundraiser. A donation from 'Zac Butters', impersonating Port Adelaide star Zak Butters, also donated $4. The message attached to that donation was 'chipping in to get me to the club.' Another donor chipped in $200 under the name 'Bailey Smith' with a cheeky swipe at the Geelong recruit. 'Just some extra third payments left over from the Cats for my boyhood club!,' the message wrote.

Tigers hang on to keep Eagles winless in AFL
Tom Brown's last-minute tackle has saved Richmond, who beat West Coast by two points in an entertaining battle of the AFL cellar dwellars. Tom Gross was streaming forward in the last minute and Brown mowed him down from behind, allowing the Tigers to come away with victory by 11.15 (81) to 11.13 (79) on Sunday at the MCG. Richmond hit the front with the last three behinds of the game and their experienced players, especially Toby Nankervis, Nathan Broad and Nick Vlastuin, were mighty in the final quarter as they held on for their third win of the season. The last-placed Eagles are yet to win a second half this season. Midfielders Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper and forward Rhyan Mansell impressed for the Tigers, while young gun Harley Reid was prominent for West Coast and teammate Jamie Cripps kicked a game-high three goals. Rhyan Mansell turned on the jets 💨#AFLTigersEagles — AFL (@AFL) May 11, 2025 Both sides were hit with late withdrawals. First, Eagles co-captain Oscar Allen pulled out with a knee injury. Then only minutes before the opening bounce, Jayden Short also came out of Richmond's line-up with the same problem. The Tigers were on top initially, kicking the first three goals. But the Eagles bagged the last two of the term and another two to start the second quarter. Harley from downtown 🚀#AFLTigersEagles — AFL (@AFL) May 11, 2025 There were eight lead changes in the second term alone as the Eagles took control of the centre bounces and the Tigers counter-punched. With five goals in the second quarter and Reid prominent, West Coast closed to within one point at the main break. They edged ahead midway through the third quarter and looked ready to take control, but could only manage three straight behinds. After the third Eagles miss, the Tigers quickly moved the ball down the other end and Mansell kicked his second goal late in the quarter. Captain Nankervis, who looked groggy after being caught in a gang tackle earlier in the term, then marked and goaled and the Tigers took a four-point lead into the last quarter.

So close! Mighty Eagles' effort falls short in MCG thriller
A stunning run-down tackle on fourth-gamer Tom Gross in the dying seconds has left West Coast two points short of their first victory of the season. Gross, who came on as a final-quarter substitute, was run down at centre half-forward with 30 seconds to play by Tom Brown, who left the Eagles with their heartbreaking ninth defeat of the season.

It was the final roll of the dice for the Eagles in the 11.15 (81) to 11.13 (79) defeat at the MCG on Sunday, which ensured the club remained on the bottom of the ladder. It came at the end of a tense final term. Scores were level with five minutes to play before Tom Lynch missed a chance to give the Tigers a one-point lead. Richmond locked the game down successfully, creating contest after contest before Kane McAuliffe kicked a behind with 100 seconds left on the clock to double their lead. It might have been a contest of the two battling sides, but it was an epic clash which featured an incredible 15 lead changes. The Eagles showed incredible improvement, tying the clearance count 35-35 after losing all previous eight but they dominated out of the centre which they won 16-9 which is where they managed to put on scoreboard pressure. But at the end of the game, it was the Tigers who prevailed to hand the Eagles their 11th consecutive defeat and keep former Richmond caretaker coach Andrew McQualter winless at the head of the Eagles.

And the move worked, with Ryan adding a spark to their midfield through his pace and athleticism, complementing the relentless pressure of former Tiger Jack Graham (20 disposals and 14 tackles). Unsurprisingly, Harley Reid also enjoyed the main stage, putting in his best performance of the season at the MCG to finish with 18 disposals, four clearances and a goal. Early on it looked as if it may be a tough day for the Eagles when Matt Owies (two goals) missed a simple shot from straight in front which would've given the Eagles the perfect start. The Tigers pounced at the other end, kicking the first three goals of the match to threaten an early onslaught. Midfielder Tim Taranto (27 disposals and seven clearances) was nearly unstoppable, leading the way for the home side with 13 first-quarter disposals and a goal as Richmond dominated the contested possession count 39-24. It took more than 28 minutes for the Eagles to finally kick a goal, with Jamie Cripps (three goals) snapping truly from the top of the goalsquare. Cripps' clever goal kick-started a run of four goals either side of the first break which changed the momentum of the match. Kane McAuliffe of the Tigers tackles Liam Ryan of the Eagles.

The Eagles then dominated from the centre clearance to lock the ball inside their forward half resulting in goals to Owies and Jake Waterman, giving them the lead. Richmond debutant Thomas Sims broke the run with the first goal of his career and the game turned into an exciting goal-for-goal affair as the lead changed an incredible eight times for the term with the Tigers holding the slenderest of leads at half-time. After a blistering second term, both teams tried to lock down more defensively and it seemingly suited the Eagles who upped the pressure. Brown kicked the first goal of the second half to extend the Tigers' lead but the Eagles managed to lock the ball inside their forward half for the majority of the third quarter. For all their effort though they kicked only two goals with misses from Tim Kelly, Matt Flynn and Jake Waterman letting the Tigers off the hook. And this hurt them when Rhyan Mansell kicked his second excellent goal from on the run before skipper Toby Nankervis restored their lead on the verge of three-quarter time. The Eagles were going to need everything to go right if they were going to get their first win of the season. Thomas Sims of the Tigers celebrates kicking his first ever AFL goal.

Unfortunately, Reid then gave up a goal to Hugo Ralphsmith when he knocked the ball out of the Tigers' hand after he took a mark, conceding a 50m penalty which resulted in a major. Returning forward-ruck Bailey Williams kept the Eagles in the game with his second goal, but both teams struggled to score in the final moments, with the game shut down and the Eagles on the wrong end of an epic encounter.
