The Brisbane Lions will unveil three new faces on Saturday when they take on Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

Nick Robertson (Pick No.34 at the 2013 NAB AFL Draft), Tom Cutler (Pick No.33 at the 2013 NAB AFL Draft) and Jackson Paine, who was recruited to the Lions via last year’s trade period, have all been named to make their first appearance for the Club.

Paine earned himself a senior selection after kicking five goals in last week’s NEAFL win over the Gold Coast Suns Reserves. Tom Cutler and Nick Robertson were also impressive, racking up 30 disposals each.

Robertson and Cutler join James Aish, Lewis Taylor and Michael Close on the list of Lions youngsters to make their AFL debut in 2014.

Ryan Harwood and Rohan Bewick will also return to the side, after being named as emergencies for last week’s clash with the Gold Coast Suns.

The Lions will be without injured midfielder Daniel Rich (knee), Josh Green (hamstring), and Daniel Merrett (suspension), while Michael Close and Ryan Lester have both been omitted.

The Lions will take on Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval this Saturday at 1.40pm (local time).
