Game Day 2021 AFL Draft & AFL Rookie Draft

[theGav56]

Regarding Neale, he'll be in the wrong age range for our midfield won't he?

And he also is not a significant point of difference to our midfield. If he comes in he robs someone of an opportunity, both onfield and contractually.

That is an unlikely trade now.

 

[Taylor]

Neale would be 30 by about round ten of playing with us in 2023. You can see where we have added talent to the squad via trade in a very specific range Neale isn't in.

To give an idea, our current midfield stoppage group:

Mundy - 36 years 4 months

Fyfe - 30 years 2 months

I wouldnt be opposed to Neale coming back next year, but crucially, at the right price. He’s a Brownlow medalist at the end of the day and would add valuable experience to a young team.

We expect to be pushing for flags from 2023-2025 and are you telling me Lachie Neale wouldnt be a valuable part of the side in that period?

Yeah it’s nice that we won the draft period and all the rest of it this week, but I want to seeus back winning big games and playing deep into big finals campaigns. I really
hope we won’t have another top 10 pick until the 2030s.
It’s easy to forget just how irrelevant we were at times this season just past. Anything that helps us become relevant, quicker, from here on, is good.

2023 Lachie Neale isn’t a brownlow medalist, he wouldn’t even be all Australian quality any more

 

[Superkoops]

If the afl don’t change the FA rules then wait till he is out of contract and be open to trading him in for the right price. We need to get away from trading in contracted players. We had a win with BHill and the Neale trade out but received fair to slight unders for Langdon and pCerra.

If Cerra was contracted would have been a 1st and 2nd and Langdon would have been a late first.

Out of contract Neale would fetch a late 1st or early second.

 

[theGav56]

The question regarding Neale should be;

Is he critical in terms of getting a Premiership?

If yes, change our name to Geelong, and do the trade.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Hope this kid's nickname is now Dunny.

You were where? Why this draftee missed his big moment

Cooper Murley was in the bathroom when his name was read out

[Dockeroo]

Sorry to intrude (again), just on the hypothetical Neale trade discussion. We wouldn’t want a 2022 first round pick. More likely a 2023 first round pick pick, plus a 2022 second round pick, with a 2023 second round pick going back your way.

Would you pay a first round pick and a second round pick for a 30 year old playing in one of the most attritional positions on the park with 220 AFL games already under his belt?

yeah didn’t think so

 

[E Shed]

I think, in Neale’s favor he’s been pretty resilient over the journey and, more importantly, he doesn’t rely on pace or other athletic attributes that will fade with age. He’s just smart & makes great decisions. That’s not changing. What age did Diesel Williams play to?

[rgauci]

I wouldn’t trade more than a 2nd rounder for Neale. Wait til he’s out of contract.

 

[Big Animal]

I think Neale will cost us a first rounder but it will be nice to have him back. We will have a very strong midfield by 23.

 

[FD2646]

IF Mundy retires, I think Neale is an experienced head who could fill the void and continue teaching our young, emerging mids both on and off field.

 

[Square Peg]

I wonder if Diesel would get a game nowadays? Such a jet.
Neale seemed pretty bashed up last season.

 

[Bender571]

I had wondered about that, but they weren't listed in the afl.com.au article listing "every player" drafted:

The draft by the numbers: Every player and their junior club

Where do the AFL's newest players come from? Check it out

www.afl.com.au

Do they not need to actually use a token 6th or 7th round pick anymore?

They got rid of that, it's just a paperwork thing now.

Clubs confirm seven AFL rookies set to be upgraded to the primary list

Two Blues, a premiership Demon and a reliable Saint are among those getting moved to the primary list.

Joel Selwood has slowed just a touch and really seems to be struggling with the pace of the game to the point where he can be exploited.

If it was the right player, yes.

 

[GingerDocker]

If it was the right player, yes.

I agree with this.

The problem for Brisbane is Neale is the exact opposite of the right player for Freo.

 

[briztoon]

In any hypothetical discussion on Neale, we’re not looking to trade him, he’s asking to go back to WA.

Yeah and thats where it is going to fall over, you won't let him go for unders and we won't pay market price

 

[DaveLister]

Sounds like a Neale problem then. No incentive for either club to get a bad deal in the trade

 

[E Shed]

True but I think he relies a bit on being first to the ball so he can do his act to win frees when tackled.
Neale just sees the game better than most & has the knack of taking possession in space.
And Diesel would still dominate!

[oldgoat]

Neale would cost us 2023 first round pick plus change next year.

Might be worth it, if it was just a 2023 first round pick.

In saying that, Neale in 2023 will be 30 years old.

In saying that...NO!

 

[Dockeroo]

We would need to make a preliminary final this year for it to make any sense.
Most pundits don’t expect a still developing freo to make the 8.
So, why would a developing side hand over a first round pick for a 220 game player?
Actually, on that point, has a player with that many games played ever been traded for that kind of price? In the last 10 or 12 years? I’m sure there’s examples in the early days when the draft was less valued than it is now.

 

[briztoon]

That’s fair enough.

I was just responding to some discussion that was on here already.

There is some speculation on our board, fuelled by an “in the know” poster, who dropped a little innuendo, without naming an actual player.

I assume Neale will retire before Mundy, with Brisbane or Freo around 2026.
