VAFA Team Selection: Preliminary Finals

By Mathew Asciak

The Lions Development team has named three inclusions for their Preliminary Final bout against West Brunswick this Saturday as they look to book a place in the 2023 VAFA Premier Reserves Grand Final. 

Key forward Louisa Cavanagh returns to the line-up for her 12th appearance in 2023, with her last match coming in our 17 victory at home to Kew, where she featured in our best 6 on the day. 

Similarly, midfielder Sally Norman will play for 6th game for the club and her first since the home fixture against Kew. Adding to the Lions forward firepower is Bowen Hackett, coming in for her 11th game of the season and currently has 5 goals for the season, with a two-goal performance coming against Melbourne University back in June. 

Making way for these inclusions this week are Armina Sherifi and Jazmine Smith, who are unavailable for selection.
