    Rumour Lachie Neale

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    I'd agree with avoiding duplication - but our hand was forced in draft over last few years where we kept getting midfielders via our father son or academy. So we took the path of "grab them, try n teach them an alternate position and let their class + elite qualities enable them to establish...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Your midfield has similar issues to ours back in 2021-23, trying to find that right balance. I'd personally keep Murphy Reid forward as he seems elite, too crafty and can find goals - similar to Zac Bailey for us. You'll need a big body defensive mid - may be Johnson? or Hayden Young possibly if...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    LOL - I understand it's hard to get over the fact that he came on as sub in Grand final and tore a new one for you guys. But you trying to propagate this narrative about Neale not being effective in coaching etc is just a myth...

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-23/crows-player-tyson-stengle-pleads-guilty-to-drink-driving/12806030 This bloke was caught with illicit substance, drink driving, delisted by Adelaide and out of the game for a whole year. Geelong still took him, has played in premiership, all-australian...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    In 12 months time his personal stuff would be old news and long forgotten. A long 15 year career and his only blot was off-field - you can keep trumpeting it but it doesn't diminish what Neale brings to the table as a player. Neale will be an excellent pickup for any on-field role for West...

    2026 Pre-Season Thread

    Off season and the footy mad audience don't have anything to chew on. We have to put up with this for another 1-2 weeks until more pre-season coverage picks up across all clubs.

    Rumour Lachie Neale

    Lions won't comment - considered a private matter. Will provide the usual player welfare support and engage Neale for any assistance needed etc. but I don't think anyone in the hierarchy will comment in public or to media. As far as Neale commenting - well Jules and Crosley are knocking them...

    2026 Pre-Season Thread

    Put him down for a top 3 in brownlow next season. Man needs something else to focus on now and hes likley going to focus on footy - what he's excellent at, all his career Regardless of his mistakes - Club will provide required support to help him work through this rather than burn him.

    I remember his leadership skills were getting ongoing highlights during U18 phase. Let's see if he still has it or Bombers have beaten it out of him.

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    In your fancy world - maybe. There is no grassroot system that spans across schools, training programs etc that the 2nd or 3rd level coaches can build a career and livelihood out of it in QLD. It's consistently blocked at board level across private schools even. I am paraphrasing people who are...

    Coach Fages and the coaching group

    I was very surprised Chris Scott didn't go for one more move in the Grand Final. Disrupting Harris Andrews. He played Neale on him again which was really weird considering Neale has been consistently beaten by Chief and still hasn't figured out how to play him. Melksham showed a template of how...

    Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/1457373/list-analysis-how-your-club-has-built-its-list I'm probably in the minority but I really like what Carlton have done in this trade/draft period. They've pushed some big personalities out like Curnow, TDK and have got lot of workman like buzzing players into...
