Exon came to Coburg for 2017, his third club VFL club in as many seasons, however unarguably had his best season since debuting in 2013. Playing in 17 games, he would secure a runner up finish in the best and fairest. Often deployed as a small defender or midfielder with the aim of nullifying his opponent, Exon would sneak forward on occasion, kicking three crucial goals in the epic last home game win over North Ballarat. Now entering his second season at the club, Exon will be looking to continue the consistency he has showed in the VFL over the past two seasons and will notch up the 50 game Milestone early in 2018, a well deserved accolade.
