Neale is a good player but I didn't think his 2018 season was anything to write home about (though I concede he will probably win the Doig anyway so I'm probably in the minority) . Also, he isn't a saint or incredible role model off field like some claim so I'm not too worried about losing his leadership.

Think losing Neale to get Hogan is a win for us.
 
Haha. Love it. It's been a surprisingly refreshing change of pace dealing with freo fans. Majority of the conversations have been amicable.

But seriously ya f****** dreaming ya muppet. Take our pick 5 or f*** off. :cool:

We'd get a similar pick next year if we lost him as a free agent. Why accept it now? May as well just dig in.

Yeah that's the spirit! And now I say: We'll just get him for free as a FA, and you'll have an unhappy player!

Anyway, deal should be some version of us giving up pick 5 and a second (either this year or a future) which gets you a deal with port or adelaide for 2 first rounders. Maybe we get a third back from someone if they are nice.
 
We refuse to play your chinese food mind games! No "and then"!

Because it's common practise to not hang on to players who dont actually want to be there.

Same, if I was asked who was our best player this year I'd say Mundy or Langdon. If not for injury Walters and Fyfe would have rounded out the top 4

I wonder if Geelong fans are saying the same things about Tim Kelly right now?

"He wasn't even that good. Wouldn't have had in my top 5 for the season"

I've always been of the opinion on here that he isn't as good as he's made out to be. No need to get insecure about a player you don't have yet over a few comments of the minority.

Maybe I'm judging neale on dream team scores but I never considered getting him in this year. If you asked me about his year I would answer the same as freos- meh. He's good but didn't catch my eye this year

Neale needs to take more marks moving the ball from defense to goal.

A full preseason will help with that, he hasn't had a clear run at it for years.
 
Two things are certain in life. Taxes and SizeMatters claiming he was shouted down at every opportunity.

This bloke makes up countless false stories about players and when a player's father refutes some of these stories, he goes on to say the father sticks up for his players. Would take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Anyway, wonder what the reception will be like tomorrow at the B&F for Neale?
salty much? you come across as a bitter poster. Sure, I post contentious stuff but it doesn't take away from the fact I have sources you could only ever wet dream about.

Well one thing he has in his favour is that he's an incredible overhead mark for his size. Probably the most underrated part of his game but one of the few players I feel confident winning a 1 on 1 in the air.
 
Take pick 5, the AFL aren't going to do you any favours with a compo pick next year.
All it takes is one horrid injury riddled year for someone's value to drop. Most I think it will be 5 plus something. But agree freo should deal now.
 
They're not going to do anything before Monday with the B&F on Saturday night. A lot of water to go under the bridge between a Friday arvo and a Monday morning, especially with a club B&F, which he will most likely win, in the middle of it all. Pick 5 won't cut it AT ALL by Monday morning. ;)
