Lachie Neale wants to come home to fremantle [or does he?!?]

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'm taking this chance to encourage everyone to vote in the two threads that are more important than spitballing about Neale

Post of the Year

Win Prizes - Game Previews Are Back - Congratulations Square Peg!!!

Hi all, I'll ask you to cast your minds back to 2017. It was a simpler time back then. Travel was a thing, border closures weren't. There was no Covid and no covfefe, while closer to home the Great Purple Reset had begun. A young Nathan Fyfe assumed captaincy of a club that was Pavlichless...

That tweet from Mitch is going to make an awfully uncomfortable B&F this year

Hardly, it was fake

 

[Jezzitizle]

Hardly, it was fake

Can’t believe how pumped I am that we didn’t pick up the reigning Brownlow medalist.

Let the recruiters smash the draft again.

 

[freo1997]

So good we can get back to extremely disliking the little turnip.

As ‘Mitch’ said - what a prick. First dumps us and now titilates with a ‘might be coming home‘ rumour. He has diminished himself so badly in front of the whole AFL community.

At least now we can get back to barracking against him and his band of Brisbane tossers. Was such fun seeing them lose by 1 point at home.

Kersten? Is that you?

 

[PeopleEater]

Hardly, it was fake

Hmmmmm…… I’m going to have to stop believing everything I read on the internet is true.

 

[Retzlaff]

Didn't Lachie Neale's manager used to show up here from time to time? Seems he is on the outher with his client now lol.

He’s been posting on the Brisbane board for the past 3 years, the Fremantle board last week and now back on the Brisbane board. He’ll be posting on the Fremantle board in 2023.

Bit unprofessional of him lol

 

[freo1997]

Meh i still think a few days before trade week ends a path could appear for the two parties and it's back on.

It is unlikely and maybe the clubs won't agree to a trade, but this press release today was to just make life for the Neales a bit easier imo. Get the paparazzi off the lawn.

 

[fnerd]

Be interested to hear from all the posters who claimed we'd needed him to replace cerra /needed him to make finals/needed him to stop the endless rebuild and get us out of our cycle of mediocrity etc .....

Now he's staying in Brisbane I assume their outlook for our future is very bleak....

 

[FreoGirl]

Lol, the reigning Brownlow medallist is a horrendous fit.

Just like Priddis was

 

[FreoGirl]

Right,now we can concentrate on extracting maximum value for Cerra.

I hope North Melbourne want him...

 

[beetz]

Sounds like there was legitimate interest from Neale to return home, Freo said they would entertain it, Brisbane got wind but obviously given situation they were expecting a mountain of picks back (which is fair enough). However, in truly uncharacteristic fashion, Freo did not want to sell the farm and advised Neale same.

Next minute, Neale out in the media with his “I love lions” crap. This little prick is a conniving a-hole.

 

[Daddoo]

Lachie going public on AFL.com video that he wants to stay at lions and that the trade talks were blown out of proportion. Says he wants to hold up the cup in a lions uniform.

Shut the thread down.

Let’s get back to the business of building a championship team through the draft instead of bringing on a 29 year old on the back end of his career.

Isn’t that just what Americans call Craig?

Nope. Craig is my old mate from college.

Yes it was and is
I was hoping with Lachie as a bit of midfield injection to fill the Cerra void , along with a slowly improving forward line and potential luck in the forward drafting we may at least stay relevant for a few years until all these miraculous draft picks have got their 80-100 games under their belt .

So unless the club has some other plans on filling that void in the midfield I can’t see much to be excited about for a few years .

But hey what’s a few more years in the wilderness .

 

[Madas]

Mighty effort BF crew, we got to 55 pages, Brisbane turkeys only got to 53!

Moral victory.

Bigger than that
I’m positive Bells decisions would have been heavily influenced by the content of this thread .

 

[Madas]

It's been less then 4 days? God trade discussion makes the days drag on

Yeh I was seriously wondering whether this was going to go on as long as the Cerra thread .

 

[Clems Knee]

I hope North Melbourne want him...

You want him to walk to the preseason draft?

 

[Madas]

Will be too old then.

Yep , it was now or never .

 

[Lach72]

Yep , it was now or never .

If Lachie is still fit at 30 and we continue our progression he’s the type of player who could be part of what gets us over the top.
And the price will be more palatable

100% we can wait.

Wait one or two years, the cost will be a lot of less.

 

[Wizard]

Would he be a FA at that point? Surely at age 30 regardless of playing at two teams he would be FA eligible?

 

[Yeti]

Don't think so. 6 years continuous service for RFA and in the top 25% of earners at the club.

URFA is 8 years.

 

[GingerDocker]

I got up this morning feeling a bit down and really needing a laugh to lift my spirits.

I went straight to the comedy channel and I see that it’s been closed down?

Wtf is that all about? You can’t do things like that on RUOK day!

I’m ruined.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I would be very happy to take him back in 2023 as a FA on a 2 year deal. FA only, and injury free between now and then only. Baby number 2 will be on the way then, and anyone who has kids will know: first one = really hard work; going from one to two = really really really hard work; going from two to three = piece of piss.
Kid number two = more likely to need mum and the fam to help out.
See you for free in a couple of years Locky Kneel.*
