Brisbane to challenge Neale's one-match ban before grand final

Brisbane will challenge Lachie Neale's one-match ban for striking Jack Ginnivan, to keep him available for Saturday's grand final against Fremantle at the MCG. The Match Review graded his first-quarter gut punch as intentional, medium impact and body contact. Neale, 320 games without suspension, was co-captain in the 2024 and 2025 flags.
