Frustration is building over the drawn-out tribunal process surrounding Brisbane Lions midfielder Lachie Neale, with television personality and AFL figure Eddie McGuire voicing his impatience at the lengthy wait for a decision.

McGuire made his feelings clear during a discussion on the Footy Classified panel, where the extended timeline of the tribunal proceedings drew pointed commentary from those involved in the segment.

The panel's reaction reflects a broader sense among AFL observers that the process has taken longer than expected, with the delay attracting increasing scrutiny. No decision on Neale's matter had been handed down at the time of the discussion, leaving the situation unresolved and commentators visibly restless.
