After our Round 19 loss to Port Adelaide, coach Justin Leppitsch has a couple of fresh players ready to bring in against Adelaide this weekend.

Ruckman Stefan Martin could return, although he'd likely have to share ruck duties with super impressive debutant Archie Smith.

Young forward Josh Schache is ready to play after a week's rest and Leppitsch could spell fellow youngster Eric Hipwood if the Lions thought he needed a break.

Jarrad Jansen was impressive in the NEAFL and could come into consideration for the Seniors. In this week's Reserves Wrap, NEAFL Coach Shane Woewodin named him as our best player against Aspley.

Another player showing good signs in the NEAFL is Josh Clayton. He was our highest possession winner on the weekend, with 30 disposals, six tackles and six clearances. He knows how to find the footy, and knows where the goals are.
