Lincoln McCarthy following an ACL injury in 2024, McCarthy reinjured the same knee early in 2025. Despite the setback across the last two seasons, McCarthy returned to training in 2026 in great shape as he pushes for selection early this season. A reliable forward, McCarthy is best known for his pressure on exiting defences and his ability to leap on packs and take incredibly marks. A dependable shot on goal, McCarthy has become a nice foil to the Lions tall forwards and often finds in himself with time and space in the forward line thanks to his intelligent craft.
