Lilydale have prioritised youth development in 2020, signing just one player (officially) over the course of the off-season.
Tom Merlino has joined from Wandin, whilst a number of players will leave the LSO when football restarts. Ashraf Davies (Mansfield), Lachlan Koger (Coldstream) and Trent Elliot (Warburton Millgrove) just some of the headliners.
