EFA * Jeez , This Brissy supporter has got a touch arrogance ....

Most are cool, This one however represents their players well, Very arrogant for despite achieving * all

On the flip side it makes no sense for brissy to accept what freo would want to offer.

The deal only makes sense for Lachie Neale, doesn't make sense for wither club

Yeah true. I guess that increases the chance he stays. This will be an interesting one if he pushes ahead with a trade request.

Theres no win for Brisbane imo, They don't want to let him go because they don't like the idea of losing players to "go home" factor, but i don't think they want to hold a player against there will, Freo atleast get to say they lured a brownlow medalist to their club if it happens

And he is staying. Smart move, a trade just wasn’t going to work.

CASE CLOSED, Best for both clubs imo

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I am genuinely surprised he’s flipped but it is clearly the best for everyone

 

[Elixuh]

Close the thread. Read between the lines of what he said in his interview re who the keen party was here.

iN 2022. CoMiNg To FrEo In 2023 lEtS gOoOoOoO lol

Would look like the two teams were too far apart, with Freo prioritising the draft. Will try again next year.

Absolutely.

I reckon there is a strong likelihood Brisbane would have said; "Ok, we can get our head around trading you, but we will want the absolutely max from Freo."

Freo decided they were not going to sell the farm for someone who whilst is a gun, isn't the right age or fit for them and it was going to be a difficult/impossible trade to work out, hence here we are.

Best outcome for the clubs, unfortunately for the Neale's they won't get what they want but can console themselves with plenty of cash and great weather for a couple of years.

I do think he’ll try again next year or the year after but both those years will work a lot better for each club.

 

[Freoboy in Melbs]

I'm relieved. Yay!! Now lets eye off a couple of gun WA forwards lurking around top ten, and a couple of outside speedsters further down.

 

[Gratees]

Absolutely.

He didn't fit Freo's age bracket either, Freo are an up and coming club they shouldn't be going for someone in there late 20's

Whether or not he does or doesnt i think we all know the media will get up and about with it

[zeggie]

Trade didn't make sense for either team.

I still remain skeptical...maybe Brisbane offered a touch more $$ or incentives.

 

[Superstar swan]

Reckon lions told him in no uncertain terms that he’s staying

 

[Gratees]

So i think its fair to say Neale never wanted to leave but was considering what was best for family, Good that they have decided to tough it out, only two years can go to wa after

 

[Freoboy in Melbs]

Lions and Freo both dodged a dodgy bullet.

 

[tate13]

Back to my original post. LOL

 

[bungalow_bill]

Finish off your rebuild? Are you dreaming?

Yeah can't see it. For one they are losing a known gun mid for a top 10 lottery ticket who could be a flop.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Well thats awkward.
