West Coast Eagles young gun Harley Reid has given fans an entertaining glimpse into his off-field life by launching a new social media account. The 2023 number one AFL Draft pick has created a joint TikTok profile with his teammate and housemate, Willem Duursma, sparking immediate viral attention.
A Hilarious Debut Prank Goes Viral
The account, named 2 number 1s in a house in reference to both players being top draft selections, made its debut with a comical prank orchestrated by Reid. In the first video posted on Wednesday, Reid documented himself purchasing an enormous quantity of aluminium foil and meticulously wrapping Duursma's entire bedroom in the shiny material.
Captioned "aight I hit it off with a bang", the clip shows the lighthearted mischief that defines their friendship. Fortunately, eighteen-year-old Duursma took the practical joke in good spirits, laughing as he discovered his transformed living space.
Teammate Banter and Fan Reaction
Duursma quickly responded with playful retaliation threats in the comments section, writing "sleep with one eye open now" to hint at future payback. This friendly exchange has delighted supporters, demonstrating the strong bond between the two emerging football talents.
Despite launching without prior announcement, the TikTok account has rapidly gained traction, amassing over three thousand followers and accumulating more than fifty-seven thousand views on its inaugural video. The profile's bio promises "lots of shenanigans loading...", suggesting more entertaining content is forthcoming.
Positive Signs for West Coast Supporters
This development represents encouraging news for Eagles fans, showcasing that Reid and Duursma maintain a close friendship despite last year's reported relationship breakdown between Reid and Yasmin Duursma, Willem's sister. Their camaraderie off the field could translate to improved chemistry and performance during matches.
The viral TikTok prank highlights how AFL players are increasingly engaging with fans through social media platforms, offering behind-the-scenes access to their personal lives and relationships. As both players continue to develop their careers at West Coast, supporters will undoubtedly follow their digital antics with keen interest.
