The Brisbane Lions have made four changes ahead of their clash with Carlton at the Gabba on Saturday.
Stefan Martin, Tom Cutler, Michael Close and Jarrad Jansen will return to the Lions’ line-up to take on the Blues.
Martin has been rested for the past fortnight, while Jansen was an emergency against Adelaide.
Forward Michael Close and defender Tom Cutler have earned a senior recall. They played in the Reserves’ loss to Sydney in Blacktown last Saturday.
First-year forward Josh Schache will miss with general soreness while Josh Green (foot) and Nick Robertson (knee) will also be unavailable.
Liam Dawson has been omitted.
Bounce down is at 1.45pm.
