Super clinic, autograph session and talent combine
Before the Lions head back down to Brisbane, the team will be at Fisherman’s Road complex at Maroochydore for the public to come down and meet. Lions players will put you through your paces, and there’ll be plenty of time to get autographs from all the players.
And for those budding footballers – Senior Coach Michael Voss and his team will be holding a talent combine for the Lions Academy. The Lions Academy provides a pathway for young Queensland footballers to develop their talent and come through to system to eventually end up as a Lion themselves! The Brisbane Lions have committed to having 20% of its list made up of Academy graduates by 2016. You could be the next Jonathan Brown!
