The Brisbane Lions will welcome back Irishman Pearce Hanley for their clash with St Kilda on Saturday night.
Hanley, who sustained a fractured wrist in the Lions win over Melbourne in Round 17, makes a speedy return to action after just one week on the sideline.
Joining Hanley, will be Ryan Harwood and Jesse O’Brien, both been named to take on the Saints at the Gabba.
O’Brien has been a consistent performer in the NEAFL in 2013 and will be rewarded on Saturday night with his first senior AFL game of the year.
The 22-year-old managed just two senior games in 2012 before a troublesome groin saw his season come to a premature end.
Midfielder Brent Moloney will miss the match with general soreness, while Ash McGrath and Jack Crisp have been omitted.
Brent Staker will play his 150th AFL game Saturday night against St Kilda. He was recruited to the Lions from West Coast at the end of the 2009 Season.
