Harley Reid?
More like Harley working as the rising West Coast star took a break with a past legend helping him recover from a breakout performance on the weekend.
Few would begrudge Reid for taking a break after a whirlwind start to AFL life and he appears to have picked up a few tips from one of his idols and former Eagles No.9 Ben Cousins.
The Eagles legend and new rising star were seen taking a load off together as Reid revealed his latest brand endorsement.
Reid has joined Cousins as a brand ambassador for TEMPUR as the No.1 draft pick stressed the importance of sleep as part of recovery.
“Getting good quality sleep can significantly affect our performance on the field. I have started monitoring my sleep patterns using my new watch, and by sleeping on a TEMPUR mattress, I am confident that I am using the best products to give myself the best possible chance of success,” he said in a statement.
There will be certainly no sleeping on the job for Reid as a match-up with fend-off machine Dustin Martin looms this Sunday as West Coast eyes their first win of the season.
Following his 18 disposals and seven broken tackles against Sydney, Richmond have said they are one high-alert.
“You can see how strong he is – a lot of people compare him to Dusty (Martin),” Tiger’s star Shai Bolton said.
“We’ve seen him play and we’ve watched vision today, but it would be a good match-up I reckon.”
