AFL Takes Action Over Harley Reid Incident as Jason Horne-Francis Dragged into West Coast Saga…
The Australian Football League (AFL) has taken swift action over the incident involving Harley Reid, imposing a fine and warning on the player. However, the drama surrounding the West Coast Eagles has taken another twist, with star midfielder Jason Horne-Francis being dragged into the saga.
The AFL has fined Reid $1,000 and issued him a formal warning for his involvement in the altercation with a spectator during the Eagles’ match against the Lions. The league deemed Reid’s actions to be in breach of the AFL’s Code of Conduct, which prohibits players from engaging in behavior that is detrimental to the interests of the game.
However, the fallout from the incident has taken a surprising turn, with reports emerging that Jason Horne-Francis was involved in a heated exchange with Reid in the aftermath of the game. According to sources, Horne-Francis was critical of Reid’s behavior, leading to a tense confrontation between the two players.
The incident has raised concerns about the team’s dynamics and the potential impact on their on-field performance. The West Coast Eagles have struggled to find consistency this season, and the drama surrounding Reid and Horne-Francis is unlikely to help.
West Coast Eagles’ coach, Adam Simpson, has moved to downplay the incident, stating that the team is focused on their upcoming match against the Crows. However, the drama surrounding Reid and Horne-Francis is likely to continue to dominate headlines in the coming days.
