Brisbane Lions have confirmed they will stick with last week’s winning team for Thursday night’s Round 12 clash with Essendon at the Gabba.

Coach Chris Fagan has backed in the same 23 players from the win over Hawthorn to again get the job done against the Bombers in front of a packed home crowd.

This also confirms the Club will manage ruck man Oscar McInerney and defender Keidean Coleman for another week, as Fagan spoke about during his weekly presser.

The Lions’ interchange is listed as Kai Lohmann, Deven Robertson, Jarrod Berry, Levi Ashcroft and Darcy Gardiner.

With McInerney one of three emergencies alongside Luke Beecken and Ty Gallop.

Thursday night’s clash at the Gabba kicks off at 7:30pm and will be broadcast live on Seven, Fox Footy and Kayo.
