Coburg has announced two inclusions in their 24-man squad that will make the trip up to Southport this Saturday to face the Sharks at Fankhauser Reserve for our round 14 clash.
Returning to the midfield setup for the Lions’ is Braedyn Gillard, who was omitted for the clash versus North Melbourne last week. Gillard is averaging a team high 24.2 disposals a game in 10 appearances in 2023, to go along with 5.5 clearances.
Max Kennedy is the final inclusion for the squad and will make his 7th appearance for the Lions this season, currently averaging 11.7 disposals a game.
Missing from this weeks’ action will be Jhye Baddeley-Kelly, who will be named as one of two emergencies alongside Daniel Owen and Jackson Bowne.
The two sides have not played this season, with their last encounter taking place in 2022 as the Sharks emerged with a convincing victory in the final round of the season. Flynn Gentile and Max Thompson were among the best for the Lions on the day, collecting 24 and 23 disposals respectively.
IN: Gillard, Kennedy
OUT: Baddeley-Kelly
EMG: Baddeley-Kelly, Owen, Bowne
