Neale continued to take big strides in 2025, his first full season at the top level since joining Geelong in 2020. 

Playing 25 games for the year, the big forward kicked 44 goals which was the second most of any Cat, and the 13th most of any player in the AFL. 

He also showed his ability to tear big games apart, kicking a five-goal haul against the Western Bulldogs in Round 11 and a brilliant four-goal opening half against Sydney in Round 23. 

Neale's finish to the season will have Cats fans excited for what is ahead, kicking 30 goals across his last 12 games and only being held goalless on one occasion during that span. 

Also leading Geelong for contested marks in 2025, Neale has proven to be a growing threat inside the Cats' forward 50 and has developed a damaging one-two punch alongside Jeremy Cameron.
