Lachie Neale is one Brisbane player who should be arriving at the MCG with a huge smile on his face after the dual Brownlow medallist had a one-match ban overturned on appeal on Thursday night.
The former Dockers midfielder is thought to be playing his 186th and final game for the Lions today, with a move to the Magpies reportedly on the cards. But some of our From the Pocket subscribers were keen to question whether he should be playing at all today.

Honestly, good for Neale. He kept his cool and got justice. Fremantle won’t know what hit them now.
I thought umpires had stricter guidelines this season. Does this overturn mean other bans should be reviewed too?
Wait, is this his final game? Makes me wonder why he even bothered appealing if he’s leaving.
Such a relief for the Lions! Neale is absolutely crucial to their midfield engine room today.
