Wait. I'm confused? I asked a genuine question about trading Neale so we can help the club win a premiership and I'm a troll? It was a genuine question and Fagan also stated he's trying new ways of changing the club himself? I was literally going off that. If I said something bad that I have...
Anyone think it's time for a mini rebuild? What we're doing isn't enough to win a flag, so why not accept that and try and extend our premiership window? Rumours suggest Neale could go back to Perth, so why not facilitate that while his currency is strong? With the picks we can get from him, we...
They didn't make the finals in 3 years? It's fair to say they did come out of nowhere. And Richmond finished 5th in 2016 and 8th the year before that, so it's not really the same at all.
I think we need to do a Melbourne here and take advantage of our off-field departures by bringing in a new...
It frustrates me that we've finished in the top 4 in the last 3 years and couldn't make a grand final, whereas Melbourne came from nowhere and have been able to do what we couldn't. Even if they don't win the flag, they would have already done better than us. The same for bulldogs. It must be...
Surely Neale knows the borders are opening up by the end of the year? Surely they know getting to Perth from Queensland is easily given we don't have covid? I would have understood if he left last year, but come on. Let's not pretend this isn't about money. He did the same to Fremantle by...
They have made themselves look bad. No sympathy from me given they went behind the club's back by talking to an opposition coach. The club has staff that aim to help the welfare of their players and partner, and they didn't go to them once. Neale also could have spoken to Fagan anytime during...
The whole family excuse is a load of crap. They knew they were going up there to have a family and this somehow only became a problem the moment his front ended contract finished. Not last year when he was still being payed 900k. There are also little restrictions between WA and Qld, so they...
Unfortunately, that is a lie. He bailed on Fremantle the moment his front ended contract became tight and he is doing the same to us. He's only in it for money and Fremantle will be paying a lot to bring him back there.
Coniglio's potential is far greater than Neale's. He just needs the right environment to get there and I think our club is the perfect place to make that happen. Seriously, if we traded Neale on and brought in Coniglio and somehow had additional draft picks left over, I would consider that a win...
I actually think we can use his unfortunate situation at gws to our advantage. Let's look at the facts. Stephen is a fantastic player who is absolutely shot on confidence. Fagan is the perfect coach to not only restore his confidence, but bring him to the level that he was going to get too...
Matho is a better person than Neale. That reason alone is why I would prefer him. Anyways, Neale is a goner, so let's try and get two first rounders from Fremantle and bring in a player who actually wants to play here.
I know Matho is limited, but he brings a lot more to the club and to our performances than most would be willing to admit. There is a reason why he was given a two year extension, and why is the first player to replace Neale. Fagan rates him a lot and sees him as more than a competent Neale...
Hopefully. He was essentially put on ice this year so he could get it fixed. Hopefully with a full pre-season, he can get more game so Starce can transition into the midfield.
He will have a long time to ponder over it when he's benched over Matho. Matho cries for the club while Neale is only crying over his front ended contract ending.
You might not like to hear because you're looking for a bargain. And I don't blame you as I would doing the same. But Neale is contracted and he's a better player than what he was when he left you guys. There's a reason why the AFL media is saying he's worth two firsts, because that is his...
Neale is a better player than what he was when he came here. He's also contracted. Brisbane should ask for two first rounders and if Fremantle don't like it, then Fagan should tell them to gtfo.
It's obvious Neale used us so he could get more money. The fact that he didn't request a trade last year despite covid already existing obviously was due to his contract still being front loaded. No idea why people in here are defending him. He went behind Fremantle's back to join us for a huge...
And people gave me shit yesterday for calling Neale out. Neale blindsided Fremantle before coming here with a trade to Brisbane, and he's doing the same with us. He was also on two front loaded contracts, and will bail on them both. I'm sure Neale has his reasons to go home, but he's dogged two...
Move Starce in the midfield to replace Neale
Answerth takes Starce old role
Birchall retires and Lester takes his place.
Madden takes Lester's spot.
Suddenly, we'll have one of the fastest backlines in the competition as well as future elite midfielder given Starce was recruited as one and has...
If you caught him on the roar deal, he said he enjoyed his time away from football this year. He obviously has been disconnected from the club throughout the year, perhaps due to covid and his partner obviously wanting to move back to western Australia.
Isn't it convenient that a player who wants to go to Perth for family reasons picked only Fremantle? The rumour doesn't even mention west coast at all, which is interesting considering his reason is for family? If that was the case, why not allow us to trade him to west coast if we could get a...
He's a contracted player who is already spoken to a coach of an opposition club before the trade period has even started. Who knows, he probably talked to him before he told anyone in the club as well. You can defend this, but I'm not. I'm sure he has his reasons for returning, but surely...
He joined us front ended contract and only leaving now. I don't see anyone protecting beams, nor should they protect Neale. I'm sure he has his reasons for wanting to leave, but it hurts the club immensely that he is doing it and it obviously shows how much he cares for the club.
He played in Fyfe's shadow at Fremantle, so he joined Brisbane where he could join a winning team while also being the main player. He was never winning a Brownlow at Fremantle, and he only won it here because he was surrounded by great players. Of course Neale Is a fantastic player, but Fyfe is...
