Lachie Neale spotted on date with new girlfriend day before Grand Final

Lachie Neale was photographed on a date with new partner Emma Field in Melbourne the day before the Grand Final.

With his Grand Final eligibility secured, Brisbane Lions midfielder Lachie Neale was spotted enjoying a date with new girlfriend Emma Field on Friday. The pair dressed in white outfits while sharing a meal at a Melbourne cafe.

Neale was seen kissing Field's forehead as they walked back to his teammates' hotel. The 29-year-old Field's relationship with Neale came to light in early August.

It was officially confirmed just three weeks later. The romance began just eight months after Neale's public marriage breakdown with Jules Neale.

Between moments with his girlfriend, Neale stopped to sign autographs for Brisbane fans.
