Lions prepare for grand final with Neale’s tribunal hearing unresolved
Lachie Neale will appear before the AFL tribunal seeking permission to play in Saturday’s grand final, according to ABC News Australia. His Brisbane Lions teammates are preparing for the possibility that he will be suspended. The supplied material does not state the charge, possible penalty or hearing time.
Lachie Neale will face the Australian Football League tribunal in an effort to remain eligible for Saturday’s grand final, ABC News Australia reported. Neale’s Brisbane Lions teammates are preparing for the possibility that he will be unavailable if a suspension is imposed. The report’s available material does not identify the incident that led to the tribunal appearance.
It also does not state the charge, the possible length of any ban or when the hearing will take place. The Lions are therefore preparing for both outcomes: Neale playing after the tribunal process or missing the match if a ban stands. No further comments from Neale, the tribunal or the club were included.
