Fremantle coach Ross Lyon has reportedly blown up over the news surrounding Lachie Neale's potential move to Brisbane.

The Dockers midfielder met with Lions coach Chris Fagan last week and also spoke about his decision to seek a move to Brisbane during his exit meeting, and according to Herald Sun's Sam Edmund, that angered Lyon.

“The whisper is that Ross Lyon, in that exit meeting, didn’t take too kindly,” Edmund told SEN Breakfast.

“He might have been heard down the corridors there at the Fremantle Football Club. Not too happy with Lachie Neale’s decision.”

Neale played in all 22 matches for Fremantle, and averaged 30.3 disposals, 7.1 clearances, 3.6 inside 50s and 4.2 tackles per game.

Images have emerged on social media of Neale following Dayne Beams and Eric Hipwood on Instagram, while his partner has recently followed the Brisbane Lions.
