Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion V2

[DanWCE]

Ok struggling to keep up with messages coming in.

Picture I'm getting is L.Neale was happy to sit out contract despite wife Jules pushing for relocation due to baby on the way.

Somehow the story has blown up in the media and caught everyone by surprise including Neale himself.

Seems now an opportunity could be there however to make a trade during this period if Neale is willing and Fremantle can provide x2 first round picks.

Lions want certainty today, because they are about to throw the kitchen sink at L.Parker if Neale says he wants to leave.

Fremantle however want to retain a top 10 pick in this draft.

Jules has played everyone for fools

Wifes and GF' should just become the players managers.

Surely Freo (if they want to) can swap Cerra for Neale (obviously not directly - but with a 3rd club involved). Maybe an extra pick in there, but it wouldn't be an extra 1st due to the age difference.

So Carlton's pick 6 for Cerra, which is sent to Brisbane for Neale. Might need a bit more work, but it doesn't seem that far off fair value. (and Freo keep their pick 8, so retain a top-10 pick).

6 + Lobb for Neale + 14? They'd still get Amiss or van Rooyen at 14, and keep pick 8.

 

[DJMac]

A fair trade would be pick #8 plus the pick that Cockburn get for Cerra (possibly #6) in exchange for Neale and pick #14.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Neale didn't leave Freo to chase glory. He left to get away from Ross and because Fremantle promised him more money after he won their BnF and didn't deliver.

 

[Chris_6678]

"Lions CEO Greg Swann, GM of Football Danny Daly and Senior Coach Chris Fagan sat down with the Brownlow medallist following reports he was seeking to return to Western Australia.

Neale and his wife Jules are expecting their first child and he has confirmed the couple are weighing up where they would like to raise their family.

He did not request a trade but has asked for some time to have further discussions with his wife and family.

The Lions will not make any further comment at this stage and we request that Lachie and Jules’ privacy be respected."

From this info it seems pretty clear that it was leaked from Neale’s management to try and speed things along.

i.e I’m gonna leave when my contract is up anyway so may as well trade me now when I have more value

 

[Biggie]

Big fella doubling down

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Is Neale the hero that the Dockers need?

They may be better with the extra first rounder IMO.

 

[Bender_]

They may be better with the extra first rounder IMO.

Based on this it's a guarantee they'll trade it for Neale.

 

[squashface]

So is it either Freo come up with another 1st rounder on top of the one they will get for Cerra or they completely trade themselves out of the 1st round for him?

Both options quite juicy tbh.

Yeah i'm not sure next year's 1st and this year's first will cut it for Brisbane

Lobb could be the interesting piece in this, there was talk he was looking to leave so he could be used as a make weight in the deal.

 

[FKASC]

All this value generated by a guy who was once a late pick small bodied mid.

Gee. Can you imagine Brissy trotting out a trio of unreliable beanpole potatoes - Lobb, Daniher and Hipwood

Pick 58

 

[Keys]

Big fella doubling down

He’s worked hard to build a reputation as a credible journalist, at least on the western side of the country so he’s risking a fair bit doubling down like this the way he has

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Daniels on the line this trade period.

 

[squashface]

Looking forward to the senior citizen midfield of Fyfe (30), Neale (29) and Mundy (76) next year if this does eventuate.

The real question is this: is Neale likely to be a part of their next premiership?
When you look at it that way it's obvious that they should not give up too much to get him, because at 28 years old he is likely to miss their premiership window by ~ 200 years.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Would be such a Freo thing if all of a sudden Fyfe announces he wants to head East to taste some sucess.

The freo thing would be to trade the world for him and he becomes a permanent broken down horse in 6 months time

Or

He comes home for the retirement fund.

How Much Longer Can Neale Be Debated?
