Neale lost on Tuesday with the AFL Tribunal upholding his ban for striking Hawthorn's Jack Ginnivan. Now two days before the decider, Neale has his appeal, while we wait for Brisbane and Fremantle to announce their grand final teams later today.

Later today we will have the team selection for both the Lions and the Dockers. First up, however, we're back in remote hearing territory, as Brisbane's Lachie Neale goes to the AFL Appeal Board to try to overturn his one-match striking ban ahead of the biggest game of the year. Tuesday night's proceedings went for four and a half hours. We hope today doesn't go quite as long, but never take anything for granted in grand final week! My name is Andrew McGarry, and I am here to bring you all the proceedings from Neale's appeal and the team news. Let's go!
