Lachie Neale is contemplating requesting a trade back to Western Australia, with Fremantle his most likely destination should he return to the state. agerealfooty
Sources close to the situation confirmed that Neale’s heavily pregnant wife Jules was keen to return to Perth, having left the city three years ago when he was sensationally traded from the Dockers to the Brisbane Lions. In order to support Jules, Neale is also interested in a possible move back.Neale has two years left to run on his contract with the Lions, with whom he won a Brownlow Medal last year and has made the finals three straight years.
Originally from South Australia, Neale spent seven years at the Dockers before his shock trade request to the Lions, who had courted him for months in the year before he was due to become a free agent. Cerra, a top-five draft pick in 2017, late last month requested a trade back to Victoria, with Carlton in the box seat for his services.
West Coast have previously indicated they would not seek to bring in a big-name trade or free agent target in the off-season, instead focusing on heading to the draft after several seasons of topping up, most notably with Tim Kelly.
