Three-time Premiership player and two-time Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale has decided to exercise his free agency rights with a move to Collingwood.

The Club looks forward to welcoming him to the KGM Centre when the Continental Tyres AFL Trade and Free Agency Period commences on Friday 2 October.

Neale was selected at Pick 58 in the 2011 National Draft by Fremantle, where he played 135 games between 2012 and 2018.

Neale moved to the Brisbane Lions at the end of the 2018 season where he won the Brownlow Medal in 2020 and 2023, and played in the Lions’ 2024, 2025 and 2026 Premierships. 

The midfielder has earned four All-Australian selections and six Best and Fairest awards.
