The stakes are high for the Brisbane Lions NEAFL side in Saturday's clash with the Gold Coast Suns at Metricon Stadium.
The Suns sit in sixth place on the ladder, while the Lions are two points behind in seventh place, following a draw with the Giants last weekend.
With the top six teams making finals, the Lions will be looking for a big performance over their rivals, with a win guaranteeing them a spot back in the top six.
The last time the two teams met the Lions held the Suns goalless, in a 12.24 (96) to 0.4 (4) rout.
Tom Fullarton (calf) and Corey Lyons (hand) will both miss the match through injury.
Mitch Hinge returns to the team after missing last week with a shoulder injury. Lions Academy member Josh Preval also comes into the team.
