The Herald Sun<\/a> reported this month that Neale had actively been courting Hoyle before his romance with Field was made public. <\/p>\nThe footballer\u2019s future remains up in the air as he contemplates a departure from the Lions at the end of the 2026 season. <\/p>\n
The two-time Brownlow Medal winner has previously been linked with Collingwood on a rich, multi-year deal and was sprung touring the Melbourne giant\u2019s facilities without giving Lions officials any notice.<\/p>\n
While other clubs reportedly remain in the hunt, Collingwood has emerged as the frontrunner with the club preparing to table a three-year, $3million contract.<\/p>\n
Magpies coach Craig McRae was indirectly asked about his club\u2019s links with Neale after the Lions\u2019 63-point win. <\/p>\n
When asked if his side had a \u201cNeale-sized hole\u201d in his team, McRae flashed a wry smile. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a pointed question,\u201d McRae said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s a great player, and everyone could see that on the night. They had many.<\/p>\n
\u201cLogan Morris would be handy \u2014 he\u2019d look good in a Collingwood jumper.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neale put on a clinic on Friday night, finishing with a game-high 35 disposals and nine score involvements.<\/p>\n
