TV star makes an embarrassing mistake about the end of a VERY high-profile AFL romance
Footy broadcaster Garry Lyon had an awkward moment while on air as he mistakenly thought AFL star Harley Reid's relationship with AFLW player Yasmin Duursma was still going. The West Coast Eagles midfielder, 20, had been dating Duursma since January last year, but the footballers quietly split last month. Lyon, who mustn't be up to date with footy's dating news, was speaking to Duursma's brother Xavier, who plays for Essendon, on SEN Breakfast on Tuesday. The Fox Sports star and co-host Tim Watson had been talking about Duursma's younger brother Willem when Lyon said, 'And your brother-in-law, Harley, he could come in as well.' Duursma laughed and Lyon quickly realised his blunder, saying, 'Oh, hang on.' Watson interjected with, 'Oh, Garry, you need to catch up with the news, mate.' Duursma commented: 'We still like Harley'. Lyon was apologetic about the mistake. 'No, good. I should have checked that. Sorry about that.' In July, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Reid had removed Duursma's initials from his Instagram bio, while Duursma deleted pictures of the pair from her own feed. The couple, who had known each other since childhood, made their red-carpet debut together at last year's Brownlow Medal. Meanwhile, speculation is mounting that Reid could sign the 'biggest deal in AFL history'. Essendon legend Tim Watson announced on SEN Breakfast that St Kilda had offered $25million to lure Reid back to Victoria. 'They've also made a Godfather offer to Harley Reid of $25 million over 12 years. That's the number that's coming via the West Coast Eagles at the moment,' Watson said, referring to the 'offer you can't refuse' line from the famous movie. 'I'm not making this up. This is what I was told yesterday. This has absolutely got everybody in the footy world spinning. 'That's the information that I received, that the West Coast Eagles believe that there's been an offer tabled by St Kilda around $25 million over 12 years.' Reid is contracted at the Eagles until the end of 2026.

See the telling signs that are fuelling speculation one of footy's biggest stars has split with his AFLW girlfriend
In-demand footy star Harley Reid could be single and ready to mingle, if his updated Instagram is any guide. The West Coast Eagles midfielder, 20, has been dating Yasmin Duursma since January last year - but the footballers appear to have split. Duursma plays for Carlton in the AFLW, and the pair have known one another since their pre-teens after both growing up in Victoria. A quick search of Reid's Instagram page reveals the rising star has removed Duursma's initials from his Instagram bio - while Duursma has deleted pictures of the pair from her own feed. The couple made their red carpet debut together at last year's Brownlow Medal. Meanwhile, speculation is mounting that Reid could sign the 'biggest deal in AFL history' with West Coast. Reid has known Duursma (pictured together) since they were both growing up in Victoria AFL Media reporter Cal Twomey told Footy Classified this week it was 'crunch time' when it comes to Reid's future in Western Australia. 'He's had contract offers in front of him since April that have come from the Eagles,' Twomey said. 'But in recent weeks, his management have sent counter offers to the Eagles – and a part of that includes a mammoth offer that would be a two-year extension, plus an extension on top of that of another nine years. 'So an 11-year arrangement. 'This is ground-breaking, really, it would be the biggest deal in AFL history by some way and it would take him through to the end of 2037. '(We are talking) $20 million-plus would be on the table.' Hawthorn and Geelong - who Reid supported as a child - are also said to be interested in securing his services. If struggling West Coast - who have only won one game this AFL season - and Reid agreed to the bumper deal tabled by his management, it would be similar to the contract offered to Port Adelaide's Miles Bergman. Bergman, 23, inked a two-year deal in July and can sign for an extra seven years with the Power if he chooses.
