Trade bait for Lachie

BRISBANE’S No.5 pick at this year’s national draft is in play as trade bait for Fremantle star Lachie Neale.

The prolific Dockers midfielder is firmly in the sights of the Lions who understand that they may have to part with their top pick in any trade with the WA club.

The 25-year-old is at the peak of his footballing powers and would be an outstanding addition to the Lions midfield that already contains A-graders Dayne Beams and Dayne Zorko along with young guns Hugh McCluggage, Jarrod Berry and Cameron Rayner.

Neale, part of the Dockers leadership group, won Freo’s best-and-fairest in 2016.
