Toast Lachie Neale - 100 Games for Fremantle.

[freo84]

Watching Neale break through a pack inside our defensive 50, burn off everyone and then deliver a pass lace out to a team mate was pure joy. All I could say was "what a beast". He was probably best on ground for me. Does it all. Draft steal.

He has gotten better every year and he is right " he looks damn good in purple"!!

boy needs a brownlow...

 

[ImperialPurple]

Love him. And love him even more in purple.

 

[Kram]

Needs to move to big Vic club though if he wants AA.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Always loved Lachie. Little gem.

Gun player, works hard, loves the club, humble guy. What's not to like

 

[Purpletown]

Well done Lachie, I will have the privilege of being at the MCG to see you play you 100th game for Freo.

A gun player, humble and a true champion.

I'm immensely proud of the career Lachie has carved out for himself, and the way in which he has applied himself to grow and develop. Also thankful for what happened personally thanks to him. Without him, I wouldn't have met Tim, and without Tim I think this forum would be that little bit poorer in our understanding of how the industry works.

I was chatting to Tim about the milestone and he said to pass on his thanks to the BF community for their support of Lachie over the years (and he also reminded me of some photos I took of Lachie at one of his first training sessions)

So here you go - for old times sake - and to celebrate one of our genuine stars, who would be the first person to admit his weaknesses, and from day 1 has been committed to improving and becoming a better version of himself. He's an inspiration. I look forward to watching him evolve and continue to grow

Oh, Tim also mentioned that for Lachie's 50th he had 9 disposals after 40+ the previous two weeks. Hopefully he makes a better shot of the 100!

I was thrilled with this pick in 2011 and have not been disappointed since. Just a great value player. No fuss, no nonsense, committed to get the best out of himself and constantly improve. Doesn't succumb to grandeur but backs himself when he has to. Is the sort that makes the footy club a distinctly better place.

Well done Lachie N. and may the next 100 include a premiership medallion (or three) somewhere in there.

Well done on 100 games
Great player to watch.
I sincerely hope that his loyalty to Freo pays dividends in a year or 2

Great link. I teared up. Thanks for that and go Lachie!!

 

[E Shed]

Absolute little star. Keeps getting better too in ways that matter, like his disposal and finishing.
Has potential to reach Sam Mitchell/Greg Williams level as a mature player.

 

[holy diver]

Here's to 200 more games for Neale in purple. Little champ needs to get that Brownlow.

 

[FreoRicci]

On of my favourites since his first few games. Always though he was robbed in the GF by being made the sub. Probably would have won it if he was on field all game. His goal sense is second to none and would be one of the game's best small forwards if he hadn't turned himself into one of the most prolific ball-winners in the game. Here's to 200 more Lachie!

Was going to write the same thing. Him as sub on that big day really irritates me ever since. He came on, had something like 7 disposals and really took the game on in the last quarter.

Congrats to Lachie, brilliant 100 games for the club and many more to come. He ll have his standard 35+ disposal game with a 3 goal haul. Future leader of this club

Lachie has always come across as a solid citizen and reading a bit about his family life enforces that.

He is a captain in waiting and would step up if needed for any reason.

Well done Lachie and hopefully you have much more success in purple in store.

 

[holy diver]

Looking good mate. congrats

Meh, some people can't pull off fancy dress.

Was that from last year's Halloween?

I think it was from the Mardi Gras. Lachie went dressed as a bird

 

[yoong]

Was that from last year's Halloween?

have to admit, that would be a damn scary halloween costume.
