Rival clubs remain keenly interested in the South Australian, with Adelaide, North Melbourne, Richmond and Essendon among those already linked to him.

Neale, however, is talking exclusively with Fremantle and won't entertain opposition offers for the time being.

Sounds promising that he has opened the door for discussions.Hopefully he will be like Pav and be a one club player.

Not a done deal yet Ric.He is only testing the water at the moment I reckon.See what is on offer from Freo first.

We have the money to match any offer.  We won't let him go

I certainly hope not.I am guessing we will get McArthy for almost nothing, unless the other mob stick their nose into the issue.

Yeh we should although I'm sure we would have thrown some decent figures at him to make coming home a little more enticing

What happened with him earlier this season, I am not sure he has much value to the Giants now.He wants to come home and I just hope it is to us and not the other mob who are sniffing around.
