On the same day Harley Reid gave the Eagles a massive boost by re-signing<\/a>, a blow has come for the club with Liam Ryan requesting a trade.<\/p>\n

The forward played 20 matches for West Coast<\/a> this season, and was a premiership player in 2018.<\/p>\n

Despite the 28-year-old’s request, the Eagles have put down a strong stance, telling him he’s required.<\/p>\n

“During our end-of-season player review process, Liam informed the club of his request to be traded,” list management boss, Matt Clarke, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Given his contract status and importance to our developing squad, we have reiterated to Liam that he is a required player at our football club, and we view him as part of our future.<\/p>\n

“Out of respect to Liam and his management, we will continue discussions over the coming weeks.”<\/p>\n

Ryan made the All-Australian team in 2020 and has been linked with St Kilda. He is close friends with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera.<\/p>\n

The speculation around the Saints revolved around a four-year deal before Ryan’s management, Young Guns Talent, posted on Instagram: “four years at St Kilda … not true”.<\/p>\n

Reports in the aftermath suggested the offer is three years with a trigger.<\/p>\n

Last week, Eagles coach Andrew McQualter told reporters “Liam will be with us next year”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the same day Harley Reid gave the Eagles a massive boost by re-signing, a blow has come…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-96903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
