    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    People are getting hung up on "Neale and Serong are the same", but when there is an opportunity to get 2 elite players together you always take it as a club. Especially when one of them is a 2x Brownlow, 2x premiership player. Neale is ahead by a long way in comparison to O'Meara, Erasmus...

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

    C'mon mate, your club got the best outcome out of all victorian clubs in the NGA arrangement by getting Jamarra at Pick 1. If any other Victorian club supporter complained I could understand but you've been striking gold in both father son (Darcy, Croft) and NGA (Jamarra) in the recent years...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    How they make it work is up to them. Who knows, he'll be at Lions for 2026 so we may get a glimpse of how it'll work. Lions may even give him more time off to help get around his travel schedule etc - because we have the depth and we can help accommodate it.

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Its so weird Freo supporters are not seeing what a Neale addition could do to their midfield and list depth in general. They'll go from finals worthy to a prelim / grand final level in no time. Crazy.

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    There's already a thread in scandal board which talks about Neale off field stuff. Please feel free to post there so we can avoid polluting this thread as well with off field only spam narrative.

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Grown men need support too. No one's condoning his mistake but he doesn't need to face everything on his own going forward to please the lynch mob. Neale will face the music, Jules will take him to cleaners - everyone will move on. World is not going to end here. Stop getting so worked up about it.

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    If you put player's salary vs their age in a bell curve, Neale's at the tail end of it. Anyone paying 800k for him at 33 have only themselves to blame.

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    He'll be 33, he's not going to charge 800k+. This is why I'm a bit pissed on the timing of all this, Neale in the next 2 years is entering the best value for money phase while still playing high quality footy and Lions are going to miss out cashing that in. He relies on one-touch footy...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    This is under the assumption Serong, Reid everyone stay 100% fit for the entire season including finals. I'm quite surprised everyone's arguing a dual brownlow medallist won't make their list better. May be it's the Lions formula currently and we bat 8-9 deep in our starting midfield - we have...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Not sure why you're naming your primary midfield when I was clearly comparing him to a new 18 year old draftee in terms of a future list spot. But since you've made this claim, your second string that you call upon for depth like Erasmus, Johnson etc - Neale is currently well above their level...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Your post seem to make it sound like big bad Brisbane standing in the way - he'll be 33 and a great pickup for any club in WA. He'll move if he chose to. I don't buy the tarnishing reputation angle that you're going for either, there are plenty of families out there where dad travels all year...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Freo taking him could be like a Tom Mitchell trade to Collingwood - netting them a premiership in 2023. He won't be demanding a premium contract either which will make it even more attractive. Couple of years from a dual brownlow medallist which could decide a Grand final will easily outweigh...

    Speculation Lachie Neale [OOC/RFA 2026]

    Yep, at 33 he's more than likely to head out to WA to be closer to kids. West Coast should snap him up as player coach in no time.

    2026 Pre-Season Thread

    12 months is a long time. If Neale works out an arrangement to see kids this year - might even continue with us beyond 2026.

    Scandal Lachie Neale affair

    You'd wish so, but there has been enough chatter inside club about Harris becoming sole captain for 2026. This is well before Neale saga unfolded. We have a few posts in our board way back in November hinting this upcoming change.

    He doesn't have basis usually. Just lot of voices in head. Remember he's the one who made the claim the house has been sold already.
