It will be apparent in 2 years that’s all I’m sayingYou expect Cerra to outperform Lachie Neale over the next two years?
I wouldn't mind a clause in player contracts that if the player decides to break it, they have to pay back anything they were paid above their yearly average wage due to front ending.Neale moved to Brissie, and made his bed with a contract that goes to the end of next year.
He now wants to return because his partner wants to be around family in WA.
Flip flopping is not a good look. You can’t keep changing your mind on a whim. How would his old team mates at Freo feel ?.
A contract is a contract, hold out till the end of the contract.

I love Neales work but he maybe has 3 years left
injuries aside Cerra is just going to get better + better
You expect Cerra to outperform Lachie Neale over the next two years?
Which definitely means that’s not what will happenBrisbane fans will hate it going off this thread but I think that's the best I can hope for
if it's true that they want to move back, then its pretty shitty on neales part. They knew they were planning on starting a family when he asked to be traded back in 2018, he's made that pretty obvious in his social media posts. With the money he's on, he can get all the help they need for 2 years. he'll be close to retiring by the time the kids going to school.
id be filthy if i were the lions. its a very different situation to a kid being drafted essentially against his will at 18 and then wanting to move home 3-4 years later. he chose to go to brisbane and they gave up a lot to get him for only 3 (albeit 3 very good) years.
yes
unfortunately
If he does come over I really don’t want to see him on any more than a 2 year contractI'll eat your shoe, hat, dick, whatever if Cerra outperforms Neale over the two years. Cerra projects to be a very good player. Lachie is an elite one and you're losing Cerra regardless. I'd be happy to keep Lachie and for the Dockers to draft a guy who'll be good in 3 years to replace Cerra.
Yeah, its hard. I personally think open market he's worth a pick about 10. You'll say I'm way off but I'm saying that valuing Fyfe at a late first, and the fact on average, anyone you draft at 10 will historically probably play more games then Neale us left. I'd argue he's worth less than that to us given he doesnt meet a need or age bracket.You know that ain't happening, Snuff

The contract terms will be up to Freo but you could expect at least 2-3 years at an elite level. Beyond that who knows. How old is that Mundy bloke again? He's pretty good.
Most of us are, but he has done it the right wayNah you are….
CerrAmos going to be amazing and I’m gutted to be losing him…

Not many Mundys running aroundThe contract terms will be up to Freo but you could expect at least 2-3 years at an elite level. Beyond that who knows. How old is that Mundy bloke again? He's pretty good.
yeah covid hadn’t hit, his Wa born wife wasn’t pregnant.
life changes
The more I think about it, the more excited I am for Brisbane and the possibilities this could open up for a prolonged period of success over the next five-plus years.
Yes, losing Neale is likely a net negative for next year (ignoring any other FA moves that may result from the free salary space), but acquiring the draft capital to pick up elite juniors to develop over the next year or two and be able to then have them up and running and ready to take the baton from Zorko, Rich and Lyons is a tremendous gift.
Truly think this ends up a situation where Brisbane fans hate it now, but ultimately look back fondly in a few years on how it works out.

I’m old fashioned on a lot of things, sometimes you need to toughen up.
