Lachlan "Lachie" Neale (born 24 May 1993) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is a small quick player who was a high possession winner at junior level.[1]

Football career

Originally from Kybybolite, a very small town in south-eastern South Australia, he moved to Adelaide to attend St Peter's College, Adelaide.[2] He played for the Glenelg Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), including seven games in the league side before returning to the Under-18 team for the Grand Final. Despite Glenelg losing to Port Adelaide, he gathered 40 possessions and was awarded the Alan Stewart Medal as the best player in the game.[2] He represented South Australia at the 2011 AFL National Under 18 Championships.[3]

He was drafted to Fremantle with their fourth selection (number 58 overall) in the 2011 AFL Draft.[4] Neale's close friend and former teammate from Kybybolite Junior Football Club, Alex Forster, was also drafted by Fremantle with their previous selection in the same draft.[5] They join Melbourne co-captain Jack Trengove as ex-Kybybolite players on AFL lists.[6]

Neale played very well during the 2012 NAB Cup preseason games and was predicted to make his AFL debut in the opening round of the 2012 AFL season,[7] but hurt his ankle against Port Adelaide at Victor Harbor, South Australia.[4]

After playing two games for Swan Districts in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), Neale made his debut in round 4 of the 2012 AFL season against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium[4][8] as the substitute. He was activated during the third quarter, replacing Nick Suban.[9]
