Brisbane Lions Coach Confident in Star's Return for Finals

As the finals approach, the Brisbane Lions are gaining momentum, bolstered by the anticipated return of star player Hugh McCluggage. The team recently achieved a significant 63-point victory over Collingwood at the MCG.

Coach Chris Fagan indicated that McCluggage, who has been dealing with calf issues throughout the season, is on track to participate in the first final. He noted that McCluggage has begun serious training and will continue to ramp up his preparation over the next two weeks.

The Lions' impressive win featured a total of 25 goals, with young forward Logan Morris scoring eight. Morris has now accumulated 140 goals in 67 games and is currently second in the Coleman Medal race. Fagan praised the performance of Morris, along with teammates Oscar Allen and Eric Hipwood, highlighting their collective impact on the game.
