Fresh faces Lachie Bramble, Nick Coffield, James Harmes, Ryley Sanders, and Harvey Gallagher are set to make appearances in Tasmania. Additionally, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will make his return to team up with key forwards Aaron Naughton and Rory Lobb.
Unfortunately, James O’Donnell won’t be available due to ankle soreness, while Bailey Dale will also miss out due to hamstring tightness.
Jack Macrae, recovering from a hamstring injury, will make his return through the VFL.
The official practice match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo, with the game set to begin at 6:10 pm AEDT.
