Rumour Lachie Neale to request trade back to WA

[LoungeLizard]

I think the Eagles know their list is cooked, and going to hit the draft hard for the next few years.

So they both may say, "thanks but no thanks"?

I think Neale does end up back at Freo, but not for the trade price that most Lions fans are hoping for.

Seems to me he has burnt too many bridges at Beisbane to return imo.

 

[Gadzorks]

Long-term contracts are absolutely a complete waste of time...

Nah, it's a way to get a pay rise. Just go for front loaded, and count the dollars for the those years cause you'll be out when they finish.

Do Freo want him, after what he did to them?

Club, players and supporters.

I think the players and club would (still very good pals with Fyfe and Mundy etc)

If he can recapture his Brownlow winning form at Freo, I think a lot of Dockers will forgive or forget why he left (least I would if I was in their shoes)

The timing sucks for Brisbane, but if he is desperate to go back to WA with his family, I think you should let him go.

But if Freo has the shits about him leaving in the 1st place?

If Brissy tell him, just go, then WC may end up with a cheap elite midfielder.

LOL!

Yeo is elite, a match winner. Just needs to get himself right again.

NicNat is over rated. A bloke of that size can't have a career average of just 1.7 marks per game.

It's not 2019 - Yeo is cooked and Nic Nat will be done at the end of next season. West Coast need to do a rebuild and would be wrapped to get rid of those two to bring in someone young or draft picks.

I think drugs are bad for you , this fairytale though would have had Dr Suess weeping

Neale might want to leave but Brisbane can hold him to his contract, if i was brisbane i would hold him until next year and see if they can do one last push at a flag

Why would Luke Parker be involved when he can walk to whatever team he wants for free?

You could argue that he would replace a player traded away both in role and salary, leaving his new team with extra draft picks and not much performance drop.

I'd be happy to see Neale land at West Coast on a big money and big trade price.

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

21 year old vs 28 year old hmmmmm.

Brownlow medalist vs a ‘watch and hope’ hmmmmm.

Just answer the man, Brick.

But the Eagles don't lose one player ???
My type of trade !!!

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Brownlow medalist vs a ‘watch and hope’ hmmmmm.

Neales best footy is likely behind him whilst Cerras best is in front of him. Like I said, in our position losing Cerra and gaining Neale is still a net negative.

 

[Brick Loosener]

Just answer the man, Brick.

Nah.

Is there a west coast fan alive that wouldnt give up gaff to get neale?

Mrs Gaff?

I think a change of scenery would be good for Gaff but if I was Brisbane I wouldn't take the deal.

Interesting this year Brisbane went 7-0 without Neale playing and 8-7 with him.

They are still good without him, a trade to get some other pieces may also push them for a flag.
