Neale was in obvious discomfort during the final minutes of the Lions’ remarkable semi-final victory over GWS in Sydney on Saturday, as his side somehow prevailed by five points after trailing by 44 late in the third quarter. Neale, well tagged by Toby Bedford at Engie Stadium, grabbed at his left foot during the chaotic finish.
