Why Dr Peter Larkins sees Lachie Neale an “outside chance” to play AFL Grand Final

Dr Peter Larkins believes there is a high degree of risk if Lachie Neale were to take part in the AFL Grand Final on Saturday afternoon.

Despite Neale’s training and putting his hand up to play, Dr Larkins isn’t convinced that under game intensity, his calf is ready.

” I think he’s an outside chance, I wouldn’t say he’s better than even,” Dr Larkins said on 3AW Football.
