It’s an unchanged side for the Brisbane Lions this weekend as they take on the GWS GIANTS at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Saturday afternoon.
Senior Coach Craig Starcevich will take the same team that toppled ladder-leaders Fremantle last weekend in the West into the Round 6 match-up with the GIANTS.
The side features a remarkable crop of young talent with 11 of the team aged 22 and under.
It’s a stat that Lions fans can get excited about, with the young group certainly giving them plenty to cheer about this season and a bright future ahead.
Dakota Davidson, 22, has had a career-best season ranking second in the Competitions list of top goal-scorers.
Davidson put in another solid performance against Fremantle on Saturday taking honours for the weeks’ Mark of the Year nomination.
Excitement-machine and Irish-product, Orla O’Dwyer, has also had a breakout season showing her speed, agility, and strength around the contest.
She kicked a Gaelic-style goal off the deck in last weekend’s win over Fremantle and continues to go from strength-to-strength as she masters her new craft.
Throw in the mix the likes of NAB Rising Star Nominees Nat Grider and Belle Dawes, Taylor Smith, Jesse Wardlaw, Indy Tahau, Sophie Conway, Courtney Hodder, Jade Ellenger and Tahlia Hickie and the signs are good at the Lions.
The Lions take on the GWS GIANTS at Manuka Oval on Saturday at 3.10pm (AEST) and members and fans can catch all the action live on 7mate (Queensland), Fox and KAYO.
