About

Lachie Neale

A dual Brownlow Medallist and one of the greatest midfielders of his generation. Neale crossed from Fremantle in 2019 and immediately transformed Brisbane's engine room. His relentless ball-winning, elite work rate and attack on the footy across 300 AFL games have earned him a revered place in Lions history. He played a crucial cameo in the 2025 Grand Final after returning from a calf injury, gathering 17 disposals after being subbed in during the third quarter.
