I thought he left Freo for Brisbane was because Freo looked to be on the downer and he didn't get along with Fyfe. as well as Brisbane looked like they had some upside to them. Could be wrong.Im gathering she grew up in the so-called 'golden triangle' of Perth?
I grew up in Perth but never really too connected with that area. Didn't really like the vibe of alot of the western suburb folk in Perth. Eventually moved into the area in my mid 20s. My understanding of why Lachie Neale on why he left Freo initially was the limelight of being an AFL footballer in a hot bed like WA. Being a country lad from SA, the media attention was close. Being in a less-focused AFL state like QLD, less attention and spotlight would be on him- which is something that I think he valued, mind the irony- his own personal space.
This.
What you will find is, its more of a postcode thing. When you mention certain postcodes in Perth- people can automatically say 'business' people or want to do business with them. Food for instance I'd often found better bang for your buck in middle-to-lower class suburbs of Perth than shopping at say Claremont Quarter.
Perth is like a social bubble- the private school kids in that western suburb triangle had their own warped world. Alot of them haven't escaped WA up until the age of 18 years of age.
