LACHIE NEALE

2020 & 2023 BROWNLOW MEDALIST, ELITE AFL MIDFIELDER

Train the body and train the mind

Since being drafted in 2011, Lachie has racked up a list of awards that could span multiple careers. As he reaches the peak of his powers, there's no telling what's next for this high achiever. He also provides strong leadership to his younger teammates off the field by helping them get the best out of themselves. With skill and dexterity that is rarely seen of a player with his extensive football knowledge, Lachie is proof that it takes equally a strong mind as it does athletic ability to become a champion of the game.

Brisbane Star to Brownlow Medalist

Lachie’s rise to the very top of the AFL culminated in a stellar 2020 season in which he dominated the competition, sweeping the game’s major individual awards in a landslide – the AFLPA MVP, Coaches MVP and the crown jewel, the Brownlow Medal, polling an incredible 31 votes in 18 games to blitz the field by 10 votes. He repeated this incredible feat in 2023 to become only the 16 player in history to become a dual Brownlow Medalist.
