HARLEY Reid has received a $3000 fine for striking Fremantle’s Matthew Johnson during Friday night’s fiery Derby clash.
Reid’s elbow caught Johnson during a stoppage in the third quarter of the game, with the match review officer assessing the incident as low-impact body contact that was intentional conduct, attracting the fine which can be reduced to $2000 with an early plea.
Reid’s West Coast teammate Hamish Davis was also fined $1500 – down to $1000 with an early plea – for making careless contact with an umpire, bringing the Eagles’ total number of umpire contact charges to three for the season.
