Neale’s numbers stack up as AFL rivals circle
Chris Fagan won’t cramp Lachie Neale as the off-contract Brisbane Lions star builds a body of work not matched since his arrival at the AFL club eight seasons ago.
The two-time Brownlow Medal-winner and dual premiership captain is an unrestricted free agent, weighing up his future beyond this season.
The break-up of his marriage means his children have moved to Perth, where he began his career with Fremantle, while Collingwood and both Adelaide clubs are reportedly interested in the 32-year-old’s services.
The next generation of midfielders have arrived at the Gabba, with Will Ashcroft winning both Norm Smith Medals in their finals victories and co-captains Hugh McCluggage and Josh Dunkley among the most valuable players in the competition.
