Jules is due to deliver their first baby in October and wants to move back to Perth for support.

Lachie will put his trade request in in the next week.

Why did he leave in the first place?

This was posted on the lions board and shut it down.
Hopefully something in this
I’d want out of the choke team too

Neale hasn't been able to get Freo or Brisbane across the line. Perhaps he's part of the problem.

If this was hypothetically true, it'd be interesting to place his worth. Contracted until 2023, on ~$900k a year.

Won the Brownlow only a year ago with the highest votes/game ever. Yet has looked a shadow of himself this season struggling with the back injury and then the syndesmosis surgery. Seemed to be back to himself the last few games, though struggled again a bit last night. Turns 29 early next season.

Other question will be whether the WA teams would be able to/want to trade for him. WC might struggle to fit the salary in, and I wonder how he fits into Freo's timeline.

Front ended contract?

 

[nurries]

He can go to Westcoast, we have a new improved version 2.0 (Serong)

 

[calder_daddy]

Front ended contract?

Has a Dayne Beams situation ring to it

Front ended contract?

Think it was reported he has a "middled" contract that peaks 2020/2021. I think he had a front ended contract when he left Freo though.

Apart from the bad tatts, bad personality, gambling debts and reality tv appearances they could be twins.

Purple googles on and he should be valued less then when he left us because he’s closer to exiting then entering his prime.

The age thing would have him less than Cerra for mine.

At the same time, Brisbane are in a window and aren’t going to want to let go one of their best players while he’s under contract. Interesting times ahead.

Additionally, this thread promises to be a struggle given I guarantee most Freo peeps won’t actually want him back due to age/fit and spite

I don’t want him for the trade capital he’d cost. I’d prefer us to hit the draft.

This is how I'd feel as a hypothetical Freo supporter too.

 

[Here we go dogs]

Very interesting if true. No way I can see west coast having the assets or even wanting him considering there midfield is already stacked.

I’d say it would have to be back to freo. Could cerra be involved in a 3-way

 

[WilloTree]

After everything I've read and heard, I can't see any situation where JLo trades in a 29-year-old.

just got the heave-ho for being the same age.

West Coast might be a better fit.

Wow these threads started quickly. Who next? Everyone bailing from a s**t club situation?

 

[Sully90]

Trade out one of our best players just as he's entering his prime
Blow the draft capital earned on Hogan
Trade back the original player for overs when he's old and injured.

Why did he leave in the first place?

Not a fan of Ross The Boss.

Interesting. West Coast can't give him what he's worth. Freo seem to want to hit the draft and have been burnt too much by bringing in high-profile recruits. Not a FA next year (I think) so Brisbane still have quite a bit of leverage. Could see a scenario where he remains with the Lions in 2022 and leaves afterwards?

Whatever Freo get for Cerra probably fair.
Fremantle are likely hoping to continue upward trajectory and losing Cerra now stings.
Getting Neale back would ease the wound, and likely produce more than Cerra would resulting in finals.

Absolutely no argument here as to the exceptionally high quality of football Neale has produced over his career - but Cerra has that ahead of him now while Neale’s is mostly behind him.
From a Freo supporter’s perspective I’d hope he’s the very shiny set of steak knives in a Cerra deal, not the whole meal!

I might be bias but I don’t think it is. Cerra has 8+ years of extra football ahead of him. I think he’s worth more.
