'Hope your tummy OK': Neale responds to Ginnivan's Instagram post
After controversially being allowed to play in the AFL grand final, Lachie Neale responds to the victim of his behind-the-play gut punch.
Brisbane Lions player Lachie Neale, who was controversially allowed to play in the AFL grand final despite a one-game suspension for hitting Jack Ginnivan, has responded to the Hawks' star on social media. Ginnivan posted a comment on a photo of Neale on Instagram, to which Neale replied, "Hope your tummy OK my guy." Neale, a dual Brownlow Medallist, is expected to move to Collingwood next season after an eight-year stint with the Lions.
He played a crucial role in Brisbane's thrilling come-from-behind victory over Fremantle in the grand final, which is expected to be his final match with the Lions. Neale expressed his gratitude for his time at the Lions, calling it the best eight years of his life.
