SEN • August 12th, 2025 9:22 am
St Kilda has reportedly made a ‘Godfather offer’ to West Coast’s Harley Reid.
SEN’s Tim Watson is hearing that the Saints are preparing to part with an eye-watering $25 million over 12 years for the 20-year-old Eagle.
Watson was discussing the reported fallout at the Saints who are trying to re-sign emerging superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera while bring in Tom De Koning from Carlton and Leek Aleer from GWS on big money.
The former Saints coach says he has heard from people close to the situation that St Kilda is intent on luring Reid to Moorabbin on an enormous contract that has the footy world spinning.
“I went and called some people that are operating in this space,” Watson said on SEN Breakfast.
“This is unconfirmed but this is what they believe is happening at the moment and that is the reason why St Kilda are currently having some concerns with current players and re-contracting is because there is still a lot of uncertainty around ‘Nas’ (Wanganeen-Milera). Whether or not he is going to stay or seek a trade elsewhere.
“The suggestion is that this has moved all the way through. They started down here and they’ve continued to rise in their offer to Nas, and it’s still rising. Maybe they haven’t reached the final offer.
“But the thing that I was told yesterday is that not only are they trying to re-contract Nas on a massive contract, ’TDK’ (De Koning) on a massive contract, they believe they will get Leek Aleer on around $850-900,000 - which is probably the reason why Cal Wilkie is a little bit unhappy as to where he stands with his contract.
“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.
“I’m not making this up, this is what I was told yesterday, this has absolutely got everybody in the footy world spinning.”
