Opinion Could Lachie Neale be considered the GOAT if he wins the AFL treble?

[Jeremias]

Brilliant footballer.

Nowhere near GOAT discussions.

It’s funny with Neale, has an amazing record but if you dissolved every team and had to draft 18 new teams, I reckon he makes it to the 3rd round.

27 goals from those 4 finals matches. An average of 6.7 goals per game. Plus he won the Norm Smith medal as well. Had the Player of the Finals award been around then - he would of win it.

Different game back then, half of his opponents were part time alcoholics...

Which begs the question as to why everyone else wasn’t doing the same thing each finals series then.

And how good is it that people won’t remember it that way. Please sook more

If you say so, pal. You can have your opinion, I'll have mine, and the rest of the folk can be wrong with you.

In all seriousness, Dusty had an amazing year - as did Danger - but, I feel (and I'm not alone here) that Houli was BOG on GF day.

 

[RCAB]

Neale wouldn't even start in the Lions dynasty midfield.

Voss, Black and Akermanis are all more talented.

He's probably around the same level as Luke Power

Dustys 2017 GF was rated the second highest behind Shueys since the stats were taken. But yeah each to their own.

He’s better then Luke power but agree he’s a step below Lappin, black and Voss (I find it hard to consider Akermanis a true midfielder)

How did I forget Lappin. Stacked as ****ed midfield.

Yes, Akermanis is not a true mid but still better than Neale.
