Post of the Year

Win Prizes - Game Previews Are Back - Congratulations Square Peg!!!

Hi all, I'll ask you to cast your minds back to 2017. It was a simpler time back then. Travel was a thing, border closures weren't. There was no Covid and no covfefe, while closer to home the Great Purple Reset had begun. A young Nathan Fyfe assumed captaincy of a club that was Pavlichless...

When a Journalist post's a trade rumour about us It is usally met with lukewarm enthusiasm but when i like and trust what the journo says short list but it does include ryan daniels saying lachie wants to return to freo I get big kev excited. Would take him back with open arms and legs

 

[Joao]

Zero interest. Would genuinely rather watch him win a flag at West Coast than cough up the farm for him now.

 

[Sweetback]

Do it, Freo

3 way trade for cerra

Grass isn’t always greener, hey

 

[Wilbur23]

Grass isn’t always greener, hey

Family reasons, certainly not Football reasons. Win a flag first.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Unless he's basically free that little campaigner can get ****ed

 

[benfica]

Grass isn’t always greener, hey

Tbf it was all Ross as many speculated and now he is gone future looks bright

 

[beetz]

Do we want him though.

 

[Roy Chook]

Love the bloke but don't want to give away the farm.

 

[Square Peg]

I almost felt sorry for him last night, he can barely kick it 35 metres, and is making s**t decisions frequently. Definitely in the woewodin/libba school of Brownlow winners.
I used to love the little bugger and wished he'd never left but for what he'd cost, this ship has sailed.

 

[One_Wing]

Legend but we did spend a lot of draft capital in trying to replace him and now suddenly we have to spend more to bring him back. Probably never should have left. Freo need forwards and wingers, Lachie does not really suit either....

Someone do a fan petition. I'll sign it.

We need to protect the club from themselves.

he’s the sort of experienced midfielder caliber player we need. He can see the lions might be cooked and marrying a WA girl and starting a family always meant this was a possibility. Would be a good replacement for Cerra

 

[332docker]

give them pick 81 & 99 for him

 

[Purpleheart_56]

Second rounder and sellery 500000max...Anything more than that,don't worry about it...

 

[gaskin]

No thanks. Not for what it will cost. I'd rather use 8 and whatever we get for Cerra in the draft.

 

[Purpleheart_56]

Second rounder and sellery 500000max...Anything more than that,don't worry about it...

He looked damaged goods this season...We should tread very carefully...

Lachie Neale contemplating shock trade request back to WA

Lachie Neale is contemplating requesting a trade back to Western Australia, with Fremantle his most likely destination should he return to the state.

www.theage.com.au

So he is thinking about asking for a trade. Not quite there yet.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Could be good so Fyfe can be a permanent forward. As long as we spend bugger all to get him.

 

[Paracleet]

Concerned to discover this amusing silly season rumour is potentially true.

 

[Rob]

Just logged on and spat out my beer when I saw this. Hard to imagine....but i'll take him for the right price. I doubt the right price is going to be acceptable to Brisbane though. He turns 29 next year and his best is probably behind him.

Anyone that suggests Cerra for Neale needs an uppercut.

 

[Anoncomment]

I really don't see the downside, provided the trade is favourable. He has versatility (good goal sense means he and Fyfe can rotate between the middle and forward), leadership and doesn't rely on athleticism to make an impact so won't be as impacted with age. I wouldn't give up too much for him, but he certainly has a key role in the 22.

 

[estibador]

Based on the Tarrant precedent, who was worth less after requesting a take-backsies trade despite becoming a better player, Lachie is now worth a second rounder.

Deal. Welcome home Lachie.
