Lions head coach Andrew Sturgess has made three changes to the squad for this Sunday’s match against Box Hill at Piranha Park.
Max Thompson has been named in the side for his VFL debut, joining brother Charlie in the team.
There will be two forced changes, with Lachlan Walker missing with concussion and Tom McKenzie missing with illness.
Josh Kemp also comes into the side for what will be his debut for Coburg. Kemp played one match for Essendon VFL in 2021 and kicked seven goals at local level last week.
The final change sees small forward Josh D’Intinosante return to the squad, taking the place of key forward Aaron Clarke.
After making his debut last week against Casey, Dylan Thomas retains his place.
