Recommitted Lachie Neale [OOC 2023 - Will honour his contract]

[Snuffaluphagus]

 

[BRAB]

Expires at the end of next season his contract mate. You have to remember he is 29 and coming off a season of injuries!!

What's 18+5?

 

[The Prosecutor]

That's in regards to a photoshopped tweet going around of Robbo abusing Neale following the news.

 

[pulpdriver]

Doesn't his contract end 2022?

No.

 

[Gratees]

But the injuries... surely that takes a year off of it lol

Perhaps go and do a Google search, then you won't be so confidently wrong.

Lions will be fine out of this

just like they were fine when beams left

they can then use the trade capital received along with cap space to better the list

If we can somehow get Luke Parker as a free agent, then take pick 6 for Neale to the draft along with our other two first rounders this year we are definitely looking better off.

That's a big if though.

Helps knowing we have an elite father-son in 2022 as well. Really good chance to get a really strong injection of young talent into our list, which isn't usually an option for teams who have finished in the top 4 three years in a row.

 

[WillHayward]

Maybe they might have to compromise?

Port Adelaide would be the absolute best match for Lachie imo.

You're forgetting he's under contract. Brisbane have no obligation to accept what Fremantle offer.

And that is fine, usually they do work it out. Freo aren't going to overpay for him though so it might be a case of keeping him for the year and the same issues to come up again next offseason

 

[The Prosecutor]

Assuming Cerra is traded to Carlton in a deal involving 6.

Surely 6 for Neale & Brisbane's first rounder tied to Melbourne (provisionally 18) gets it done? Freo could even throw in a future third/fourth rounder to help with points for Ashcroft.

This way, Freo still have two first round picks and Neale without giving up the farm, while Brisbane get an elite kid or trade capital along with points for Ashcroft next year (who looms as a pick one candidate).

Yep I think this will be a massive blessing in disguise for you guys tbh

Who is the father son?

Will Ashcroft

If lions turn Neale into pick 6 and cap space on Parker they come out ahead

Absolutely but you'd have to think plenty of Vic clubs would be hot on Parker.

 

[WilloTree]

Not from Freo

What did Freo get for Tarrant when he wanted to go back to Collingwood?

 

[lionsrules]

I wondered why all week we re-signed Mathieson for two more years. I mean he’s depth …. But two years depth ?
Also…. Yes yes yes you all thought he was the barometer …. Blah blah
It’s more like red onions when making a kebab. You’re not sure …. But your that drunk you make every bit of that $8 count.so you add the f…… onions!

Why the * are we giving up Neale and 18 for a 12 point upgrade on our first rounder?

 

[pulpdriver]

This is the second site I have seen that days 2022?? Strange that a few sites say end of next year

It's wrong, man. He signed a 5 year contract when he came to Brisbane.

Sure but who’s going to give him a shot at a premiership

Why should Brisbane have to give up a first round pick? Neale is worth a top ten pick on his own.

Your problem is you're looking at Supercoach resource sites instead of actual news articles, or even better, club press releases.

Already got one

Hopefully he wants another crack.

small potatoes

best fit is irrelevant if he wants to come to WA due to his mrs homesick. Her family is here.

if she wasn’t, he wouldn’t even entertain a move.

 

[blueiris]

Not sure what Parker adds when we could just play Bailey McCluggage and Berry inside to replace Neale

 

[BEEG]

Nealo going nowhere
