As for Neale’s worth, I’ve used the very scientific and not at all made up
AFL draft pick calculator as a guide.
In 2018 Brisbane gave up Picks 6, 19 and 55 to acquire Neale, and they received pick No.30 back from Freo. From a points perspective, that equates to pick 3.
For that, Brissy received the potential for 6 years of Lachie’s prime. Now, we shape to get the final three years of that prime, then will probably be overpaying him for some tail off. So, I reckon his value now is about half what it was in 2018.
Which, using the draft pick calculator, equals pick 15. That seems about right to me.
