Recommitted Neil Erasmus

[Mesc]

No idea but I'd say that they would have had an issue if he'd gone straight to Freo instead of Collingwood first

Understandable I suppose.

 

[craffles]

A recently retired West Coast player told me during the Nesbitt era that the embrago was real (at least from West Coast's perspective), and it's the reason why West Coast tried to make it difficult for Jayme Graham to head to Freo. Apparently West Coast don't want Freo to be an option for players leaving so essentially if players leave, they need to move interstate. Not sure if it's changed under the new regime

That’s absolutely wild if true. How petty by them.

Goes to show the rivalry hatred is a one way street on their behalf, don't want their players heading to us.

They were annoyed when we had LeCras briefly as a assistant too.

Nah, Bell has definitely played silly buggers on a few things since then. It goes both ways

Yeah fair call then.

Well there's some genuinely good comedy in that there post (or delusional polony).

Just a wee bit of ragebait my friend, no harm no foul.

Freo have upped our offer to 3 years

 

[WilloTree]

Freo have upped our offer to 3 years

He's had a good month of footy. Deserves it. He's basically held his spot in the best 22 and will play a final in a fortnight.

He'd only leave for money now, but if what has been reported is true, it's a lot more money, so can still see it happening.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Looked good last night. Certainly like him at the Dogs but as a WA boy surely he stays

 

[Pencil case]

Is he still unsigned? Would think he’s on the move if so

Probably waiting until after Freos season ends, you’d think we would find out this week his intentions.

Probably waiting until after Freos season ends, you’d think we would find out this week his intentions.

I would have thought the delay was to see what actually happened with role and game time the last month of the season. Which really is the sensible thing for him to have done.

If he hadn't started or been dropped you imagine that would have been curtains for his time at Freo.

Will be a bit harder now he's definitely starting 22, unless he's getting huge money offers.

 

[iambrilliant]

Would love this boy at the dogs. Think he stays tho

I just can’t see him leaving, he was good last night so had a spot in the team and a WA boy.

 

[PrancingPony]

He's re-signing.

You shouldnt treat club board goss as gospel for sharing outside the board until something definitive happens.

Oh I'm just posting my personal opinion more than anything, I've always been of the mind he'll re-sign.

PrancingPony is Patrick Voss, so watch out with the high fives through the keyboard or we will all be lining up for a shoulder clean out before xmas.

I won't rest until every shoulder in sight is out of place.

 

[TY24]

Would love to bring Neil in but I’ll be surprised to see the two clubs deal with each other.

[PrancingPony]

Good to hear, he really came into his own in the second half of the year, hope he continues to fire next season.

 

[largebus]

The bulldogs made no sense to begin with given how stacked their midfield is.

Saturday showed he's well ahead of O'Meara and O'Driscoll in the pecking order.

 

[Sheepey]

Good hold by Freo, did some nice things in the final
