Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
i tend to agree.
Pick 7 & 16 we should look at trading for future picks.
I'd be knocking on Norths/Crows/Suns & Freo's door.
Who cares.Got us 3 flags.is barely on the park ....

Wouldn't care if he only plays half a season each year until he retires.
I can’t see freo caring much either way.It’ll be interesting to see what Lions want for Neale. I think he’s still under contract, Cerra on the other hand isn’t.
Lions could really dig their feet in over this one and ask for something such as Freos first 2 in exchange for their first

you make it sound like we do not have unfinished business

It will Be on their terms or not at all.
Exactly.Or Lions can just say bad luck & make Neale stay as he is contracted

Freo are a lost cause and will be bent over in any Neal deal
Brisbane have nothing to lose , If Neal does request a trade then that indicates that Fremantle have spoken to him and agreed there is interest. and Being a player with 2 years left on his contract then they pay the price.
Just need to look at the posts about Lobb and the freo supporters thinking he is worth 1st round pick if traded and were adamant a contracted player with 2 years left would get them a 1st rounder
Based on the above Brisbane could just say pick #6 you get from Carlton is what we want
If the news is true and Neal does request a trade he would only be doing that with assurance that he gets thereThis is where it gets interesting.
Is this about Neale or Freo? Who is pushing for it?
I don't see Neale as a priority for Freo.Not a pick 6 type of priority anyway.Freo are a lost cause and will be bent over in any Neal deal

If there is no interest fron Freo then Neal wouldn't request that

They have Serong & Brayshaw,Pick 6 & 8.
If i was Freo i'd call Brisbane's bluff and see what happens cometh the 11th hour.
Freo have nothing to lose.What bluff ?
Brisbane are very happy to keep him for the next 2 years
Lions can just say to both Neal & freo - Pick #6 or Neal stays for 2 years and plays for Lions
Brisbane is holding all the aces here

Sure Brisbane don't have nothing to lose except a player who while contracted has family issues.
Really ??Brisbane are actually the only team with anything to lose IMO.
They trade him for unders or they keep him and and he's unhappy.
Really ??
Papley , O'Keefe etc
I just find it really bad taste that players take the massive front ended deals and want a transfer when at the tail end of their contracts.
Given that it seems like Neale is wanting to get to Freo rather than them trying to bring him back, Freo should offer a couple of second round picks and nothing more. If the Lions don't trade then Neale can stay with them and the Dockers take the haul they get the Cerra and their own first 2 picks to the draft and add 4 kids in the top 30 to their list.It’ll be interesting to see what Lions want for Neale.

No I understand perfectly well the value of draft picks. It's a gamble that if you get right can change the fortunes of your team going forward. Settling for a player like Hobbs/Adams doesn't change the fortunes of your club, in other words reach for the stars or don't bother. If we want a player like Adams go and get him or a player very similar while we are in the window. Don't take the 18 year old version who is 3 years away from playing consistent footy.
That player in this draft is likely to be Josh Rachele imo.Fair enough. I guess that "gambler" approach to the draft is held by a fair percentage of supporters, but I'd suggest less common amongst club recruiters. A Dusty/Buddy/Judd/Petracca only comes along once or twice a decade (and probably too early to include Trac, which further proves the point).
Anyway, interesting conversation, and with a strong draft hand is certainly a year you'd consider taking a calculated risk (or "gamble") on a high risk/high reward type. I would argue that RCD is almost in this boat with some of his attributes that you see from him in bursts.
