his farewell tour includes a farewell punch
Neale cleared to play fourth straight grand final after AFL appeals board overturns punching ban
Brisbane midfielder Lachie Neale will play in a fourth consecutive AFL grand final on Saturday at the MCG after the AFL appeals board overturned his suspension for punching Jack Ginnivan in the stomach. The saga caps twelve months of off-field turmoil: a calf injury before last year's decider, a public marriage breakdown, and a Lions salary cap that prioritised Zac Bailey and Logan Morris over re-signing him. Club bosses denied the disruption affected the playing group.
