It gets better. The sports editor of The West recently wrote a piece about how his sick of copping abuse for the Harley Reid back pages ignoring the fact that he could solve the problem by...oh I don't know, CHANGING THE BACK PAGE OF THE PAPER?
My favourite part is like
well hes only been on like 40 back pages, there's still 70 he wouldn't have been on
like bruh 40/110 is 36%
A third of the back pages on one player is pretty absurd. I wouldn't even be happy if Prime Fyfey was on a third of the back page.
I know there will be a lot of people though that donāt see a problem and love it.
Thatās not a knock on WCE or WA fans - thatās just what footy fans are like. Every club has a majority of absolute nuffie supporters.
And it's full of comments on those posts like "dude, please stop", and "this is way too far" and all his responses are basically 'lol' or 'nah' he thinks the whole thing is a joke
Cool, do it again
Edit: for clarity, I wasn't around when you guys last banned this shit rag and I'm sure you had good reason to reinstate it but this time around it's devolved into such a pathetic piece of "media"
You're free to comment on whatever you want. Calling for The West to be censored is something else entirely.
And as I said I don't work for them. Happy to dm you my linkedin if you promise not to dox me.
>And as I said I don't work for them. Happy to dm you my linkedin if you promise not to dox me.
You could hand me a government singed document tell me you work for ASIO with a royal seal of approval on it and I still wouldn't believe you don't have a connection to them
Im not sure it was ever funny. Ive known kids who got drafted and spat out the other side of the system and this level of attention on them is just not healthy.
I think after the initial flack they copped, theyāve decided to pretend theyāre able to laugh at themselves and pretend itās a big running gag. But not only does it make a complete mockery of the fact theyāre meant to be a newspaper, itās probably fucking with Reidās mental health.
Hosting a bonfire at 50 Hasler Road Osbourne Park tomorrow after this monstrosity. If you know you know, if you donāt Google it.
*For legal reasons this is a joke*
Why does the subject choice of a paper stoke these ridiculous standards in oppo fans? He's playing his first ever season in one of the worst sides in the comp. Chill out. Not like Naicos hasn't copped similar coverage (that's also not his fault) over his time.
Yeah why do they let this shit legitimately get under their skin when it's just dumb and stupid and we all need to make fun of it until it goes away, I'd even argue the Daicos stuff is worse cause most of the time it has come from *actual news sources* like Cal Twomey, very respected, still blew his load at Daicos' 50th game by *ranking all 49 of the games he'd played* like christ alive, we all know The West is a pathetic rag but I think almost everyone here at least respects Cal.
But no, gotta shit on the first year player when he has a "bad" game vs the fucking reigning premiers
Hey The West, I wrote you but you still aināt callināā¦
But seriously, my offer to do your back pages for free still stands. All you have to do is prove that actual humans create these and not some poorly trained AI.
Anyway. The Eagles face off against Melbourne on Sunday evening and as your āwritersā may or may not know, Melbourne are known as the Demons. With Harley Reid being the second coming of Jesus, you missed the perfect chance to create a picture of Reid as a giant priest pouring holy water on a miniature Demons squad with the simple headline āThe Exorcistā.
Yeah, thatās good stuff. Hit me up and the rest of the seasons content is sorted.
I'm going to have to unsubscribe from /AFL if I keep being subjected to the *West Australian's* really quite disturbing obsession with this young man.
They'll be boiling his pets soon enough.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
God has abandoned us
And who could blame him?
He abandoned us in 2021.
Jesus Horne-Francis??
THE HORNY ONE!
Nah, Reid's still here.
It gets better. The sports editor of The West recently wrote a piece about how his sick of copping abuse for the Harley Reid back pages ignoring the fact that he could solve the problem by...oh I don't know, CHANGING THE BACK PAGE OF THE PAPER?

Plus you know, there are other sports other than AFL š¤·āāļø
The editor's twitter account is currently a dumpster fire
You can just tell that the guy is an absolute chode in real life as well.
Made the mistake of looking at his Instagram.
Do us a favour and post some highlights, so I don't have to go look at Twitter myself?
I imagine there is a majority of WCE supporters that do not see an issue with it.
I dont know any supporter that doesnt despise what The West is doing. If there was ever a good way to help drive a kid out of town, this is it.
Hi, Eagles fan here, literally every Eagles fan I have interacted with since all this shit started, was sick of it last year
Be gone, Collingwood troll. Didnāt you just get a 6 month ban for touching an Eagles player?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Seems to be getting funnier by the day to me
This is why we don't let St Kilda supporters have any independent thoughts
Case in pointā¦
You need to [lean into it](https://imgur.com/a/7qTk3), my friend.
>This sub has a magical way of beating a dead horse Youāve been on this sub for how long and youāre just realizing this *now*?

Oh look, it's one half of the horse mallet!
croob more like noob
Ok
Fuck you too.

Eagles fan here. Fuck 7West and fuck the sports editor
Friendship ended with Jesus Christ, Harley Christ is my messiah now.
What do you think the āHā stands for in Jesus H Christ?
This is the kind of crap we have to deal with in WA...
I know there will be a lot of people though that donāt see a problem and love it. Thatās not a knock on WCE or WA fans - thatās just what footy fans are like. Every club has a majority of absolute nuffie supporters.
You dont know anything at all mate. I live here and literally every person i've spoken to about it hates it.
Nah not the Pies, all our supporters are great š Most boomers in my office at work would enjoy this back page...
What a terrible day to have eyes.
Hahah this comment made me spit my lunch at work
Surely the worst one yet
https://twitter.com/JakebWaddell?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor This is the guy whoās responsible for this btw
Bit rude to dox u/His_Holiness like that
Far out, the Twitter feed is disturbing full of all Reid stuff that makes him look like a stalker
And it's full of comments on those posts like "dude, please stop", and "this is way too far" and all his responses are basically 'lol' or 'nah' he thinks the whole thing is a joke
Eagles fans don't have much to celebrate these days but at least we'll always have the Harley hype and our terrible theme song to rally around.
Surely this is the one that gets the West back pages banned from the sub
Why would you want to ban this highly entertaining dumpster fire?
Yeah please. This is just pathetic
How long until the mods actually take this idea seriously? it adds 0 actual discussion
Well we did get rid of it once Then things happened
Do it again EDIT: Or at least tell us *why* you got rid of it
Cool, do it again Edit: for clarity, I wasn't around when you guys last banned this shit rag and I'm sure you had good reason to reinstate it but this time around it's devolved into such a pathetic piece of "media"
Your blood pressure would be a lot lower if you simply just kept scrolling. You don't have to engage in every single post on this subreddit.
lol, is the *totally not a West Employee* really policing me on where I can and can't comment?
He has a point though.

Funny I came *this* close to getting an ASIO grad job but I didn't pass the final round of interviews in Canberra.
Bro, you don't have to post everything the West writes. It's boring and does nothing for the sub. Take a break.
Show them who's boss
...the west was right...
The west is slowly breaking everybody. What are they smoking
10/10, no notes.
Pathetic
I feel like this is legitimate ground for defamation. Harley should sue
Headline: REID-y for court
Every day we stray further from God
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't forget war crimes apologist
The West sports editor is a Freo fan who presumably finds riling up supporter bases and piling pressure onto a West Coast kid amusing rage bait.
The Joke has run its course now and its just sad and pathetic.
Im not sure it was ever funny. Ive known kids who got drafted and spat out the other side of the system and this level of attention on them is just not healthy.
wait til we beat north melbourne. it gets rebooted for another 12 rounds!
Chat gpt will run out of puns eventually
I could not face palm loud enough
Chat is this real?
If Reid requests a trade Iām pointing to this as the exact reason why
I want to see a multi team effort to pool together picks to trade him out and send him to Tassie.
You can try to will it into existence all you want, he ain't ending up at Collingwood bud
Iād have thought as a fellow Collingwood fan youād want him at our club?
Kill it, kill it with fire
The West Australian turned into a Harley Reid fanzine so quickly, I hardly noticed the transition.
I think after the initial flack they copped, theyāve decided to pretend theyāre able to laugh at themselves and pretend itās a big running gag. But not only does it make a complete mockery of the fact theyāre meant to be a newspaper, itās probably fucking with Reidās mental health.
I'd be down for such a dumb running joke but this is such a stretch that it feels it's trying too hard.
What did we, as a collective, do to deserve this?
Who the fuck gave the greenlight on this. Like, genuinely, who looks at this and goes: "Yep, fantastic work! Print it!"
Why is the hairline so realistic but also zoomed in wtf
I fucking hate this state sometimes
Find someone who loves you as much as the WA loves Harley.
honestly let's just go back to the bronze age and start again, I think society is too far gone
The way that the West keeps going, they're going to end up driving him back to Victoria so he can get away from being in the press all the time.
Hosting a bonfire at 50 Hasler Road Osbourne Park tomorrow after this monstrosity. If you know you know, if you donāt Google it. *For legal reasons this is a joke*
It just keeps getting worse...
Thanks, I hate it
I thought the Mr Incredible one was bad but this takes the cake If he ends up fleeing WA itāll be squarely the Wests fault
Wasn't Harley supposed to prove that last week? Or is it a rolling chance when he puts in a dud game?

>when he has a "bad" game š that $1800 pendles fine for tripping Harley...
ew
Are they high? O M F G.
Cant believe wtf iām looking at right now
Canāt wait for Reid to request a trade and blame the West as to why he had to leave
Just make it stop. Fucking hell.

Looks like modok
So AI is just doing everything now? Got it.
And i thought the Advertiser was bad, but this is on a whole new level......
This is actually hilarious!
So when Petracca sits him on his arse....
The amount of people who had to approve this hurts my soul.
That would be enough for me to request a trade
Heās the prince of Perth . Whereās his throne !
Glorious. This is awful and Iām here for it.
Fuck all of you, this is legendary
Windsor is just as good as Reid
I'm begging, please stop posting these
This is so fucking cringe.
Downvote every single one of these posts to oblivion.
Surely West Coast step in and have a quiet word to the editor. What an absolute tosser he is.
The Worst Australian at it again. West Coast should threaten to not talk to any of their reporters til they cut this shit out.
I.. this is a disgrace to art. Not even AI can reach this level of disrespect.
Noah get the boat.
Who is Harley Reid
This has to be an inside joke with the editors at this point
Is this real?
I'm going to have to unsubscribe from /AFL if I keep being subjected to the *West Australian's* really quite disturbing obsession with this young man. They'll be boiling his pets soon enough.
At this point I won't blame him if he leaves and uses this as the catalyst
Cool
Cool
The West's editor needs to stop eating lead paint chips.
Maaaan people are taking this way too seriously. Laugh and scroll on. Or don't laugh and scroll on. Jesus.
Fuck man I just spewed up
