The AFL has been rocked by reports that Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale is considering a trade request, which has seemingly blindsided the Brisbane Lions.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 28-year-old South Australian reportedly desires a move to the Fremantle Dockers in Western Australia to raise his family, however Neale is currently contracted with the Lions until the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

Neale was drafted by Fremantle Dockers in 2011 before he asked for a trade to the Lions in 2018, and in Brisbane under coach Chris Fagan he has had career-best form, earning a Brownlow Medal in 2020, and All-Australian honours.<\/p>\n

Brisbane General Manager of Football Danny Daly said the club will release a statement on the matter on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

"I can't make any comments because I haven't spoken to Lachie. I think the club will come out and make a statement sometime this afternoon once we've had a chance to speak to Lachie and work through it," Daly told Radio TAB.<\/em><\/p>\n

"It's all news to us. As far as we're concerned, he's got two years of his contract left and that's where it is at."<\/p>\n

Brisbane's 2021 AFL campaign came to a nail-biting end on the weekend after a one-point loss to the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba.<\/a><\/p>\n
