The Brisbane Lions have confirmed their VFL side for their Round 18 clash against North Melbourne on Saturday morning at Brighton Homes Arena.

The Lions head into the home match looking to bounce back after falling just short to the Swans in last Friday’s wet and windy contest in Sydney.

Brisbane welcomes back Shadeau Brain and Cody Curtin after the pair were listed as emergencies for the Lions AFL match in Perth last weekend.

Exciting forward Will McLachlan also returns to the side in a further boost.

Caylen Murray has been named on the interchange alongside Tahj Abberley, Curtis McCarthy, Ethan Duke and Cooper Hodge.

Henry Smith is out of last week’s team and will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a foot injury against the Swans.

The emergencies are Isaac Waller, Dylan Smith, Kyle Dunkley, Charlie Offermans, Jake Fazldeen and Liam Jones.

Round 18 of the Smithy VFL between the Lions and the Kangaroos gets underway at 10:45am at Brighton Homes Arena. Join us live with free entry or catch the livestream on the AFL website.
