Game Day 2021 AFL Draft & AFL Rookie Draft

Neale and his missus went for the $ and best rooster in the chook house a few years ago.

He needs to make the nest and lie in it now, as we’ve got some new Roosters in the coop, and I’m not sure it’s good to bring in olde hen pecked ones.

Neale left for success and he'd be loving the changes that he's seen at the club since he's left so if the success doesn't come this year at Bris, he'd be keen as to come back and he'd be welcomed back if the trade is fair.
 
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.
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.
 
If Neale is FA at the end of 2023 (age-30) then sure we can offer a contract. Not interested in trading a 1st and 2nd round pick for him next year, which is what Brisbane will ask for.

Like IP I’m a fan of the two Vic Rookie list selections for 2020 (Treacy) and 2021 (Worner). With border closures Worner (and the Irish fella) won’t come over until early in the new year to serve the 14-days. Celebrate the new year and fly over and be available to start training around 16/01. Both are development players, which is what the rookie list is for. We have made a rort of the rookie list otherwise to be honest with Schultz, Banfield, Crowden and Blakely.

I don't think he is a free agent at the end of his contract

Unless they change the rules he isn’t a free agent until he’s been at Brisbane (or Freo) for eight years. He spent seven at Freo.

Various changes to free agency which would make Neale a free agent in 2023 have been rumoured for years but have never come to anything.
 
Just as a matter of interest, does anyone know why Carlton were able to take 1 pick to the ND, but GCS were forced to delist a couple of players to be allowed to participate?

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.
Wouldn’t have thought so pal. On ya bike

Honestly, you will want more than he's worth. The only way I see him coming back is if Brissy let him go on the cheap.

He's just not what we need.

Neale is more valuable at Brisbane than Fremantle.

Fremantle doesn't have a 2022 second round pick.

What you are suggesting is fair but a lot of us don't want Neale.

He left the club because he wanted to be out of shadow of Fyfe, more money and run away from a rebuild.

When it suits him, he wants to come back.

None of it say a selfless leader.

Serong is really developing as a strong leader and plays in a similar role.

What they offered was fair enough tbh

our 2023 F1 should be a high teens pick anyway

So its a high teens pick and a 2nd for Neale and a 2nd

About fair for a gun player even when he is older

We don't have the second and we also won't pay it as he is worth more to Brissy than us so it won't matter but if all things were equal then thats a fair trade.
