Footy fan high-fives rising superstar Harley Reid – and you won’t believe what she did straight afterwards

A footy fan has been caught on camera giving AFL young gun Harley Reid an eager high-five – then licking her hand straight afterwards.

While the West Coast Eagles were thrashed by 99 points by the Crows on May 26 at Adelaide Oval, the supporter in question didn’t seem to mind.

Following the high-five with Reid moments after fulltime, the woman then could be seen licking her hand as she treasured the brief physical interaction.

It comes as Reid continues to impress for Adam Simpson’s men in his debut season of senior footy.

The number one National Draft selection from last year has been highly touted – and he has more than lived up to expectations this season with a number of commanding displays in a team which has won just three games.

Eagles teammate Tom Barrass labelled Reid a ‘genuine freak’  – and such is the hype surrounding him, the 19-year-old is being tipped to become the first player to earn $2million a season in the future.

‘I’ve never seen anything like it,’ 28-year-old defender Barrass said. 

‘He’s a lovely bloke and a lovely character, I love seeing him play good footy.’

Even Reid’s rivals are taking notice — including dual Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale.

‘He’s a pretty special talent,’ the Brisbane Lions star said.

‘I wouldn’t mind having his power and physicality. Those traits would be nice.

‘Some of his highlights already are unbelievable. He’s going to be a superstar for a very long time.’
