Neale saw through the rebuild, and became the latest quality individual to choose elsewhere. He straight away saw quality:
“for the newly married couple, it was the people at Brisbane who drew them across from the west. Neale personally references Fagan, head of football David Noble and CEO Greg Swann, and comes back to the initial walk with the coach..."
"I did feel that I owed Freo a lot, probably in my early years for taking a chance on me..But I feel like I’ve given seven years of my absolute best and that probably cleared my conscience in a way.... It just felt like the right thing to do, to be honest.
“In the end we thought a fresh start would be good.... I think Fages’ philosophy and the way he brings people together is really impressive and the whole club has sort of adopted that."
Now tell me this is not about Lyon.
Ross is certainly getting desperate if he wants fans to boo a multiple club champion with many years consistent service. The commentators will be on the lookout for a headline: to quote Abc's Whealdon question during the Bulldogs call: "did I almost hear a boo for Crozier?" Answer; no he didnt, and we should continue to show the quality that evades the top heirarchy at the club.
