Ross Lyon announced as guest speaker for Brock-Burrum's annual luncheon

Brocklesby junior Justin Koschitzke's played under Lyon during his time at St Kilda, which allowed the club to attract him for the event.

"Because we didn't have one last year, we wanted to make this a really good one," Brock-Burrum president Steve Koschitzke said.

"I think Ross will be pretty well received. He's been fairly prominent on radio and TV."

Lyon coached St Kilda to grand finals in 2009 and 2010 and got Fremantle to the last day in September in 2013.

This year's luncheon is on Friday, July 30, at Albury's SS and A club and is limited to 250 tickets due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The event has been running for more than 30 years and attracted a host of high-profile figures, including Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Wally Lewis and Lindsay Fox.
