Young half-back Shadeau Brain and key defender Darragh Joyce are the two inclusions to the Brisbane Lions’ team for Sunday’s clash with West Coast in Perth.

Joyce has been recalled and named at fullback in the absence of Jack Payne, who was ruled out with a foot injury.

Brain rounds out the new additions to coach Chris Fagan’s squad as the Lions will be without reliable defender Brandon Starcevich who entered concussion protocols following a head clash in Sunday’s win over Adelaide.
