The 2025 season may be only a couple of days away, but unfortunately, Brisbane's first cyclone in 51 years is too. This week on the Roar Deal, we talk through the massive weather dilemma facing the AFL, with the season opener in doubt for the first time since 2020. 

The only news bigger than an approaching tropical cyclone is the guest we've got joining us. Premiership captain, dual Brownlow medalist, and four-time Roar Deal medalist Lachie Neale comes in to the Roar Deal studios to talk through the club's 2024 triumph, his friendship with Joe Daniher, and what's fuelling him to go back to back. 

Also this week:

-Lachie's thoughts on Dare To Beat The Bear

-Why are no club songs sung by a mixed choir?

-The first crystal ball reading for 2025

And much more!
