BRISBANE champion Lachie Neale has officially joined Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent.
Neale, 33, arrives at the Magpies on a three-year deal after eight seasons at Brisbane, where he won three premierships and two Brownlow Medals.

The AFL is yet to confirm what compensation the Lions will receive for the midfielder's departure, but AFL.com.au's Riley Beveridge says they will receive band three compensation (currently No.39).
Neale played 186 games for the Lions after arriving from Fremantle.
His arrival is a huge boost for the Pies, with Neale set to provide support for this year's Brownlow Medal winner, Nick Daicos.
