Polly despite the correctly called grog fueled ramblings I thought on the matter of Neale I was pretty clear, here's a version that perhaps HWMBO won't delete.
Polly, we have the Eagles covered for the next few year without Neale. Lachie, as many others have alluded to just does not hurt the opposition enough with all those possessions he gathers & it was no surprise to me that he didn't get AA selection when he broke the AFL possession record back in 2016. Forwards are what we need and there are 3 from WA as well as a top flight midfielder in Neil Eramus to pick from in this years draft. So no deal for Neale as far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer we draft as many of them WA boys as we can get. And after listening/reading to multiple posters lament the lack of decent forwards wearing Purple for years, i.e. Tabs isn't the answer, we need support for Tabs, we need another power forward etc.... With 3 quality WA forwards Jye Amiss, Jacob Van Rooyen & Jack Williams available in the upcoming draft then I'm with Bizkit on this one we'd be mad not to focus on acquiring them over securing Neale.
