The Brisbane Lions will be forced to make at least two changes for Saturday's match against Melbourne, with Mitch Robinson suspended and Daniel Rich injured.
Get them in
At least two players need to come in and after another great showing for the twos, don't be shocked if No.15 draft pick Zac Bailey debuts. Jacob Allison, Tom Cutler and Rhys Mathieson are also in the frame.
Cutler kicked eight goals in the Lions' NEAFL practice match victory on the weekend and has been the best of the players who didn't receive a shot in the JLT series.
Under the pump
After a strong pre-season, Tom Bell struggled against the Saints. He finished with 16 disposals but dropped a couple of easy marks and had moments he won't look back too fondly on.
Medical room
Daniel Rich is a big out with confirmation of a ruptured ankle ligament. Mitch Robinson will also miss through suspension.
Verdict
The forced outs of Robinson and Rich should be the only changes. Two of Bailey, Allison, Mathieson and Cutler will come in.
