Fremantle midfielder Lachie Neale has reportedly told Dockers coach Ross Lyon he wants to be traded to Brisbane during the upcoming trade period.

According to AFL.com.au,ย Neale has a five-year, $4 million offer on the table from the Lions, and Triple M reporter Tom Browne understands Neale is ready to accept that offer.

โ€œFremanteโ€™s Lachie Neale linked closely to a five-year deal to go to Brisbane, itโ€™s been talked about that he will request a trade, that he might request the trade to Fremantle after their best and fairest,โ€ Browne told the Hot Breakfast on Wednesday morning.

โ€œI can tell you Neale went to Ross Lyon and Steve Rosich at Fremantle over the weekend and told them that he is going to the Brisbane Lions.

โ€œHeโ€™s already requested that trade, and itโ€™s got flow-on effects.โ€

If Neale moves to Brisbane, it will likely allow Jesse Hogan to move to Fremantle, and then Steven May could land at the Demons.
