West Coast Eagles torched in third quarter as fellow strugglers Richmond produce 49-point win at Optus Stadium
West Coast are firmly facing the prospect of a one-win season for the first time in their 39-year history after losing the battle of the cellar-dwellers to Richmond by a devastating 49 points. Against a team that some predicted wouldn't win a game for the year, the young Eagles capitulated under the pressure, while the effort and leadership of the majority of their senior players was left wanting. It resulted in a horror 16.9 (105) to 8.8 (56) defeat in front of 44,252 of their faithful at Optus Stadium on Saturday night, effectively ensuring they will claim their third-ever wooden spoon. For many, this game had long been circled as one West Coast could win as they looked to claim a morale-boosting win late in the season. The Tigers had other ideas, blowing them away in an eight-goal to one third term that many would argue resulted in their worst loss for the season. After a week in the spotlight for his style of play, No.1 draftee Harley Reid produced a commanding first half with 20 disposals, six clearances and five inside-50s as he tried to lead the Eagles to victory. Richmond coach Adem Yze decided he wasn't going to let Reid grab the four points from their grasp, sending Jack Ross to him in the second half with great success, forcing Andrew McQualter to send the 20-year-old to full-forward. Not only did Reid not get enough support from any teammates, but none stood up to fill the void in a performance that will not help them convince the talented Victorian to stay in WA. Richmond's leaders in Tim Taranto (30 disposals, seven clearances and three goals), Jacob Hopper (32 disposals, nine clearances and two goals) and Nick Vlastuin (24 disposals) belted the Eagles, who had no answer. The story of the first half was little moments rather than dominant periods of play. And it was the Tigers, led by Maurice Rioli, who were able to stand tall when the game called for an individual effort. The first big one came when Rioli produced an incredible effort to run down Brady Hough in the middle of the stadium as the Eagle went to take a third bounce and kick on goal. It resulted in the first of two consecutive goals to Taranto as the visitors went into the first break with a slender five-point lead. Rioli then produced another remarkable highlight midway through the second term when he smothered a Harry Edwards kick in defence, before toe-poking the ball to himself and setting up ruckman Toby Nankervis in an unguarded goalsquare. At this point the Tigers led by 16 points, despite early on the Eagles having the ability to lock the ball in their front half. Their midfield-forward connection was the main issue plaguing the home side, with the absence of injured forwards Jake Waterman and Oscar Allen evident. When West Coast would miss a turn the ball over inside 50, the Tigers go into a kamikaze like-attack, trying to get the ball in the hands of speedsters Rhyan Mansell (three goals) and Seth Campbell (two goals) who backed themselves to cover the turf. Still the Eagles managed to scrap enough to be within a kick leading into half-time until another moment came back to haunt them. Wingman Ryan Maric missed an easy kick to an unguarded Reid at half-back so badly that it resulted in a Hopper goal that deflated the parochial crowd leading into the main break. The Eagles needed to find a way to seize some important moments early in the second half, but they continued to struggle to stop the Tigers' ball movement from halfback. Co-captain Liam Duggan had a moment he'd like to forget when he went with a one-armed effort to try to stop Kamdyn McIntosh, who set up Jonty Faull for the first goal after half-time. Liam Ryan (two goals) showed the way when he was able to dribble a ball over the head of Richmond defender Tylar Young from deep in the right forward pocket for one of the goals of the season. It was only a momentary bit of relief for the Eagles who continued to make poor decisions under pressure. Tyler Brockman decided to kick back into defence rather than go long down the line, only to turn the ball over to Faull who kicked his second. When Tyler Sonsie kicked Richmond's fourth goal of the third term after Tyrell Dewar over-ran the ball at centre-half-back to cough up another turnover the visitors had the game under control. West Coast looked lost for answers and by the final break the Tigers had gone from a nine-point half-time lead to a 53-point advantage to ensure they would head home with the premiership points. West Coast finally strung together three consecutive goals for the first time in the match thanks to Reid's impact out of the goalsquare who kicked two of them. But the amount of effort it took to kick those goals meant they were only able to make a small dent in Richmond's lead. The Tigers finished the game strongly to not only crack 100 points for the first time this season but claim consecutive wins. RICHMOND 3.2 6.3 14.7 16.9 (105) WEST COAST 2.3 4.6 5.8 8.8 (56) GOALS – Richmond: T Taranto 3 R Mansell 3 J Faull 2 J Hopper 2 S Campbell 2 T Sims T Sonsie J Short T Nankervis.

Getting a read on Harley: What the Eagles ace can learn from a Hawks legend
There was a period of play where Reid seemed central to everything happening on the ground, good and bad. He was the one Eagles player with physical presence and creativity, but also the one giving away free kicks and flapping his arms at umpires, opponents and teammates in despair or complaint. It was not a new thing – his year has been marked by as many free kicks and remonstrations as moments of brilliance. Why? He is 20. He looks like a man, and plays with the skill, power and talent that draws comparisons to Patty Dangerfield. The difference is he is still a kid, while Dangerfield has three kids. Reid has the temperament of a world-weary uni student who is technically an adult but still gets their parents to do their washing and explain insurance to them. Again, he is 20. 'I don't know if every game Harley Reid spends this much time talking to the umpires and the opposition and crowd, but it must be distracting,' Mark Ricciuto said in commentary with an evident degree of restraint. 'He has got bucket loads of talent, but he is spending so much time worrying about other things other than communicating with his own players, or focusing on what he should be doing, or how can he help his teammates. He can't do everything. 'He is not fit enough to be a gun mid yet. He is going to work on that over the next couple of years, but he should just channel a bit more effort into the football side of things. I love watching him, I am not trying to be too negative, but he is just channelling too much energy into the wrong spots at the moment.' It was the game where a trend became a problem. Reid has given away more free kicks (52) than any other player this year. There were six given away in Sunday night's game alone. In the same round, fellow No.1 draft pick Matt Rowell – a smaller man but also another precocious teenager who arrived in the game physically ready to play – drew seven free kicks and gave away five. He is a less animated figure on the ground than Reid. Reid has been fined numerous times this year – including for the bird – and on Sunday should have been suspended for tripping Travis Boak with a kick to both shins. Yet, somehow he drew just another fine. Fortunately, he is already quite well paid. 'He clearly crossed the line too many times tonight,' his coach Andrew McQualter said after the game, most likely with the trip in mind. 'I've had that chat with Harley already. He knows it, and he's going to play up to that line every single week, and that's where we want him... we want it to be a dance with the line that he doesn't step over.' Some, such as Kane Cornes – a strong defender of Horne-Francis – criticised Reid for being too selfish in the way he plays and giving away free kicks. Being criticised by Cornes does not put Reid in a small club in the AFL, but while Cornes' critique was more strongly worded, the sentiment was similar to Ricciuto's in saying the Eagles youngster should focus more on just playing. This week on the TV show Cornes shares with Luke Hodge and Dale Thomas, the former Hawthorn and Collingwood premiership players stepped to Reid's defence. Hodge is possibly the best-credentialed person to talk about Reid. He was Reid before Reid – a No.1 draft pick with the body and ability to play immediately, he took time to work the bigger AFL world out. 'He is 20!' Hodge pleaded.

Don't care how many people Barack Obama deported: Viral clash between Piers Morgan and Joy Reid
Piers Morgan and Joy Reid's clash went viral. Piers Morgan and Joy Reid clashed on Morgan's show, the clips of which are now viral on social media. Reid, the former MSNBC jhosy said Morgan's team ambushed her and made her race an issue for Morgan's "very white audience". 'The interview, which drops [Thursday], was a cheap, sleazy, very Piers Morgan pivot to take the heat off of the right and Trump and put it right where the right needs to be, on the Black lady,' Reid said even before the Morgan interview dropped. Morgan posted clips of how Joy Reid said she does not care how may people former president Barack Obama deported as that was not the issue. 'It was three million,' Morgan said. 'And your point being what?' Reid asked. 'My point being are you as shocked by that as you are claiming to be about Trump? Morgan said on the number of people deported by Obama. Reid said Trump has been doing it more aggressively and there is no process. 'In the interest of fairness, do you condemn Barack Obama's deportation policy given that he deported more people — let me finish — more people than any American president in history in his eight years?' Morgan asked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally Undo 'What an absolutely disingenuous argument, Piers,' Reid said. 'Wow. You didn't even know how many people he deported!' Morgan said. 'All I'll tell you is Obama deported a hell of a lot more people than Trump and most of them were brown and last I checked Barack Obama isn't white,' Morgan said at one point of the heated conversion before it took a pivot to race. Reid said Trump is targeting people based on their skin color to which Morgan said Obama did it too. 'You're outraged by Trump, but you're not outraged by Obama,' Morgan said 'I'm absolutely outraged by fascism and by snatching people off the street, given no process, that I'm outraged by,' Reid said. 'Sure, but Obama wasn't a fascist,' Morgan said. 'Because Obama's got brown skin, he's not a fascist. Is that your policy?' 'Now Joy. Look, let's be honest. I don't think you were fired after all those years because of your skin color. Or because you're a black woman,' Morgan told Joy Reid adding that she was fired because her show was getting unpopular.
