Lachie Neale's Last Brisbane Lions Cards: Collector's Guide
Lachie Neale signed with Collingwood on 2 October 2026, closing eight seasons, two Brownlow Medals, and a three-peat with the Brisbane Lions. His 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars and 2026 AFL Teamcoach cards are definitively his last in Lions colours, a finite set with a hard endpoint. Here is every confirmed card worth chasing.
Why does the Collingwood move matter for collectors?
Neale's Brisbane résumé is extraordinary: 186 games, three consecutive premierships (2024, 2025, 2026), two Brownlow Medals (2020 and 2023, both on 31 votes), and a 300th-game milestone in Round 6, 2026. There is drama baked into the 2026 set too: he had a one-match GF ban overturned on appeal, played in the decider, then announced his departure in the post-match interview. His 2026 cards are that exact moment frozen in cardboard.
What 2026 Footy Stars cards are in his final Brisbane set?
The 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars set hit retail 23 March 2026, hobby 31 March. Confirmed Neale cards:
- 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars FH11 (Footy Heads): unnumbered, 1:3 packs. Confirmed card number.
- 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars Luminous: unnumbered, 1 per pack.
- 2026 Select AFL Footy Stars Brownlow Predictor Signature Gold /220: numbered to 220, 1:172 packs. Card number unconfirmed from a checklist. Verify via Select's app before buying. Nick Daicos won the 2026 Brownlow, so this card did NOT redeem. Collector card only.

Frequently asked questions
Are Neale's 2026 Footy Stars and Teamcoach cards his last in Brisbane colours?
Yes. He signed with Collingwood on 2 October 2026. Both 2026 sets were released before the transfer and are definitively his last cards as a Brisbane Lion.
Did Neale's 2026 Brownlow Predictor Signature Gold /220 card redeem?
No. Nick Daicos (Collingwood) won the 2026 Brownlow, so Neale's Predictor Signature did not trigger a redemption. It is a collector card only.
What is the rarest numbered card in his 2026 Brisbane set?
The Select Rewind Neutron /30, available only in hobby boxes at 1:2100 packs. Expect it to surface rarely.
How many Brownlow Medals did Neale win at Brisbane?
Both: 2020 (31 votes) and 2023 (31 votes again), both during his Brisbane tenure.
