Lachie Neale's position is driving trade chatter after talk of a behaviour allegation and his free agency status. The Brisbane Lions midfielder is a Collingwood target in the latest whispers. Brisbane remains on course for a third straight premiership. Trade whispers also say Zak Butters asked for a trade from Port Adelaide last year. No deal is done. The reports have put Neale's plans under scrutiny during the AFL trade period. What comes next has yet to be decided.
