South Australia
Because he was no longer able to take the field as a player, Neale was reluctantly released by the Ainslie Football Club; as their club and team structure at the time demanded a playing coach (the club eventually appointed ex-Richmond, and ex-Collingwod player Rod Oborne as the captain-coach for the 1984 season).
Cleared by Ainslie, Neale moved to coach the Central District Football Club in the SANFL. He was non-playing coach from 1984–1987. Central District only appeared twice in the finals during Neal's coaching tenure, without them winning a single finals game. In 1984, with Neal as coach, Central District's John Platten won the Magarey Medal.
