Lachie Neale has given Jack Ginnivan a bottle of pinot noir following the tribunal hearing that allowed Neale to play in Brisbane's grand final victory.

Lachie Neale has given Jack Ginnivan a bottle of Will Ashcroft Mr September pinot noir, valued at $45, following the tribunal hearing that allowed Neale to play in Brisbane's grand final victory. The limited-release wine, which could only be bought in packs of six or 12, is now sold out.

Neale was suspended by the match review officer after striking Ginnivan in the preliminary final. The suspension was upheld at an AFL tribunal following a marathon hearing, but Brisbane appealed the decision and the ban was downgraded, allowing Neale to play in the grand final.

Neale revealed the gift during an appearance on the podcast Footy And Friends, where Ginnivan was already a guest. When asked what present he had bought Ginnivan for 'getting you off and into the granny to make you a three-timer', Neale confirmed he had purchased the pinot noir. Ginnivan acknowledged receiving it but joked that Neale 'could have gone a bit higher'. Neale has since joined the Magpies.
