Lachie Neale has girlfriend Emma Field by his side as he returns home after AFL Grand Final win - following her VERY public support for her new man

Lachie Neale and his new girlfriend Emma Field are chugging full steam ahead when it comes to their budding romance. 

The couple have made a series of increasingly public outings as Emma, 29, cements her place as the AFL's hottest new entry in the WAG rankings. 

In their latest show of affection, the footballer had his ladylove by his side as he arrived back home after his team, the Brisbane Lions, won the 2026 AFL Grand Final.

The pair landed at Brisbane Airport on Sunday, with Lachie, 33, walking alongside Emma as they traversed the terminal. 

Emma was chic in an all-black ensemble that included a fitted blouse and faded jeans. 

She finished the look with snakeskin heels and carried a camel-toned trench coat over her arm. 

Lachie was dressed casually, wearing a football jersey and a pair of black shorts, with a white hoodie knotted over his shoulders. 

The athlete and the Queensland advertising professional wheeled along a carry-on suitcase each and kept things relaxed, without any minders in tow. 

The latest outing comes after Emma showed her support for the Brisbane Lions player at the 2026 AFL Grand Final on Saturday.

The brunette beauty was spotted in the stands at the big game, wearing a jacket with his name and jersey number emblazoned on the back.

Field shared photos to Instagram during the match which showed her sitting with friends Milly and Sophie Shepherd. 

She was all smiles as she snapped a selfie with her gal pals, later sharing another photo which was taken of the back of her black jacket.

Field and her friend Sophie could be seen with their arms up in the air as they cheered Neale, 33, on, with 'Neale 09' printed across the back of their coats. 

Emma was earlier seen braving the rain on Saturday morning just before boyfriend Neale took to the field.

Neale kicked off his clash against Fremantle at 2.30pm AEST after he successfully appealed the one-match ban that almost dashed his premiership dream.

Emma played the part of dutiful partner ahead of the big game that morning as she stepped out into the poor Melbourne weather to do a coffee and food run.

The brunette beauty rugged up in an oversized pink jumper, pulling the hood up over her long tresses as she stepped out without an umbrella.

At one point, she was spotted chatting with someone on the phone.

Neale and Field were all smiles on Friday when they were seen enjoying a relaxed brunch date in Melbourne after he won his appeal against a one-match suspension that threatened to end his premiership dream. 

He had initially been handed a one-match suspension for striking Hawthorn's Jack Ginnivan during their preliminary final.

The tribunal upheld the penalty on Tuesday after a hearing lasting four-and-a-half hours, before Brisbane successfully appealed on Thursday.

With his place in Saturday's decider secured, the two-time Brownlow medallist laughed and chatted with his partner during a break from the grand final build-up.

The couple headed to a nearby café and sat outside, where Neale tucked into a burger before they walked back to the team hotel.

Neale planted a kiss on Field's head along the way, with the pair continuing to smile and chat before he stopped to sign autographs for waiting fans.
