Lions make six changes
The Lions have made six changes ahead of their final match of the 2008 season this Saturday night against the Sydney Swans at the SCG.
Troy Selwood, Lachlan Henderson, Scott Clouston, Tom Collier, Albert Proud and Scott Harding have all been added to the senior team which lost to Carlton by six points at the Gabba last weekend.
Ashley McGrath (quad) and Matthew Moody (groin) have been forced out of the side through injury while Robert Copeland, James Hawksley, Travis Johnstone and Rhan Hooper have all been omitted.
Henderson, Collier, Proud and Clouston – who have played only 19 career games between them – will have the opportunity to get some valuable senior experience against the finals-bound Swans.
Scott Harding and Troy Selwood also return to the senior team after a string of impressive performances with the Suncoast Lions reserves side.
Lions Co-Captain Luke Power, Jared Brennan, Daniel Merrett and Joel Patfull have each been named in the side and will finish the year as the only players at the Club to have played in every senior match this season.
