The article, shortened and in plain language
The Brisbane Lions head to the AFL tribunal to challenge Lachie Neale's ban for striking Hawthorn's Jack Ginnivan, in the hopes of freeing the dual Brownlow medallist for the grand final.

We will have to wait a while to find out whether Lachie Neale joins this list or not.
