Harley Reid must brace for another tagging test as the emerging star prepares to make his return in West Coast’s AFL clash with Hawthorn in Perth, Eagles coach Adam Simpson says. Reid hasn’t played since copping a two-match ban for a dangerous tackle during West Coast’s 14-point loss to St Kilda on June 1. Given the Eagles had a bye during that period, it means Reid will have been out of action for 28 days by the time he lines up against Hawthorn at Optus Stadium on Sunday.

It’ll happen again no doubt, especially if he catches fire like he does sometimes. “So we’ll keep working through it and next time it happens he’ll be better at it.” The return of Tim Kelly from a hip injury will help ease some of the load on Reid. Midfield bull Elliot Yeo has also been named, but his involvement remains in doubt following the death of his father on Monday. Simpson did his best to play down the tagging talk surrounding Reid.
