List Mgmt. Contract Negotations & Lachie Neale - It's Official! 3 year deal!

Your overrating Gaff a touch.

If we get a player as good as Gaff with our first pick I will be happy, the kid is class.

 

[Kram]

Never seen him break a tackle or go in for a hard ball. He's very good on the outside though, his form this year this year is down on last year.

True but at least he was one of the few that bothered to turn up for the GF.

 

[Docker79]

That'd rule out drafting SPS then. He's shorter than Gaff

It wouldn't fit us, we need some height. But another club I could see going for it.

Gaff and Petrovski-Seton are the same height. 181cm. One of these two may still be growing.

 

[PurpleWizard]

Time to give up on SPS now. No chance he'll go past pick 3.

 

[Docker79]

My bad...thought SPS was a touch under 180

Gaff and Petrovski-Seton are the same height. 181cm. One of these two may still be growing.

 

[estibador]

The thing that has amazed me has been the publicity this has got while you hardly hear anything about Gaff being out of contract.....

Remember when the eagles sycophants in the media spent all year telling us Pav was leaving only for Judd to blindside them at the end of the season and break their little hearts?

Good times, good times.

Just need a rumour that he'd be a flight risk for an interstate club. Or get one of our old champs to adopt him.

He is in quite a few phantom drafts further down the order so he could slip past 3.

Got to be quoted again for the LOLs.

They were some of the best days in Bay 13.

It was unending ammunition.

 

[freo_leo29]

Gaff was overrated last year and has gone backwards this year, would be worth pick 12 at the very most imo

Neale is genuinely elite and has way more value

FREMANTLE has secured a vital piece of its future, with in-demand midfielder Lachie Neale inking a three-year deal.

After much speculation on his future and a potential move interstate, Neale has opted to stay put at the Dockers until at least the end of 2019.

It is understood the contract was finalised on Friday afternoon, ahead of Fremantle’s clash with Collingwood at the MCG.

Several rival clubs were interested in securing 23-year-old’s signature, but discussions with his management — Stride Sports Management — only went ahead with the Dockers.

A big reason behind Neale’s decision was the talent coming through the ranks, providing a good picture of the future under coach Ross Lyon.

Emerging midfielders Lachie Weller and Connor Blakely have both earned Rising Star nominations this season, while first-year duo Darcy Tucker and Sam Collins have impressed since getting a taste of senior football.

I wonder if this will be confirmed in the coming days. Anyone know of the journo?

 

[serial_thrilla]

Well I guess that salvages a fairly ordinary weekend.

Who do we aim to sign up next?

 

[scon]

Can we have all the half back flankers who had the inside knowledge that he was departing remind us of their credentials??

 

[freoextra]

Well I guess that salvages a fairly ordinary weekend.

Who do we aim to sign up next?

Mayne if we have any smarts, closely followed by Langdon and then seriously I don't think anyone would care. Fyfe extension would be nice as well.

Sorry, also need to add Michael Barlow to the re-sign list and then the rest can take a run.

That journo is one of two who have spoken to and directly quoted Tim and Stride in articles. Shows he does his research. I'd bank on it. I'd expect formal confirmation from the club soon

 

[FD2646]

Perth now website reporting that Neale has signed a 3 year deal with freo!

 

[scon]

I'd bank on it.

Pity 'cos I'll miss the tsunami's of mindless,vexatious trolling kindy gossip!!

There you go. Deal done.

Interesting though isn't it - From start to finish Stride were clear in their intent, and the timeline. The last article quoting them spoke of a round 15 target, and it looks like they have it done and dusted a round early.

Kudos to them, to Neale, and i'm stoked it got done.

 

[FD2646]

Thanks Arcassius, I don't know how to post the link.

I expect us to have pick #3 in the draft, so you are right and I agree.

Suns play both Brisbane and Essendon on the way home. The lions and bombers both play each other too.

We play them at home, they could beat us too but it isn't required for them to jump us

 

[Arcassius]

Thanks Arcassius, I don't know how to post the link.

All good Just paste the URL in and it'll sort itself out

 

[freo_leo29]

YESSSSSSSSSS

Now to lock in Barlow, Langdon and Mayne (suitable price, let him walk if he wants overs)

Fingers crossed Brisbane don't get a priority pick. There's still a few question marks over SPS but if you get pick 2 and 3 you'd take the risk.

For me he looks a class above everyone else. Looks like a raw two footed high possession Cyril for me with massive upside. I haven't looked too deeply into the draft but right now I only want SPS and I'll be sooking harder than Brad Scott at press conference if we don't get him.

Hopefully you're right and we get pick 3.

I thought the biggest knock is that he isn't a high possession winner?
