As Fremantle and Brisbane meet in AFL grand final their most common thread is Lachie Neale
- When Fremantle coach Ross Lyon activated his sub in the fourth quarter of the 2013 grand final against Hawthorn, he scarcely could have believed the impact that player was going to have.
- On the odd occasion, the sub would come in and make a serious impact, acting as a spark plug, while on other days, their impact would be negligible.
- Fremantle's sub that day came on to replace ruckman Zac Clarke and picked up seven disposals, but it was ultimately in vain as an experienced Hawthorn side held the Dockers at bay.
