‘I’m not sure if I’m allowed to really say too much’: Neale reveals concerning back scan
Reigning Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale
has revealed a scan on his back during the week returned “not a great result” but will not use it as an excuse for any drop in form.
Speaking after his Brisbane Lions opened their 2021 account with a one-point win over Collingwood at Marvel Stadium courtesy of a goal after the siren from Zac Bailey
, Neale said he was “battling a fair bit” with his body early in the season.
Asked about the matter on Thursday, the club’s official position was that Neale did not have a fracture in his back. Neale would not confirm the specifics of his injury, but nor did he suggest that it wasn’t significant.
