Inaugural midfield assistant coach David Lake yesterday advised the Club he will enter the race for the Gold Coast Suns AFLW senior coach position.  

Lake will step away from Lions coaching duties during this process to allow the team to focus on the 2019 AFLW season. Clark Keating, the team's current ruck coach and Simon Black will take over midfield coaching duties in the interim.

The Club fully supports Lake's decision to go through the process and wishes him all the best. 

For the latest updates before, during and after the match, keep an eye on the Lions AFLW Twitter and Instagram accounts.
