The Brisbane Lions have made six changes going into Saturday’s Round 5 clash with GWS at Blacktown International Sportspark.

Last week’s AFL tactical substitute, Jarryd Lyons has been named to take on the Giants along with Callum Ah Chee who also travelled to Gather Round in Adelaide.

Darcy Fort returns to the squad looking to be a dominant force in the ruck and forward of the ball, after kicking three goals in his last VFL outing against Collingwood in Round 3.

Shadeau Brain makes his comeback after a shoulder complaint along with Blake Coleman who is returning from a calf issue.

The undefeated Lions will travel away from Brighton Homes Arena for the second time this season as they look to keep their perfect record intact.

Exciting academy prospect, Jack Manly has also been named for his first appearance at VFL level after strong showings for the Lions Academy in the 2023 Coates Talent League.

Kyle Dunkley, Lockie Rayner and Wilson Barry have all been listed as emergencies while Owen Collins and Bruce Reville have been omitted.

Darcy Gardiner has been managed this week as he continues to build his loads after returning from injury in last round’s win over the Southport Sharks.

The game will be played at Blacktown International Sportspark with the first bounce at 11:05am AEST.
