The Brisbane Lions have named their team for this Saturday evening’s clash against Sydney, making three changes to the side that defeated Melbourne last week.

26 year-old utility Cheynee Stiller has been added to the line-up and will play his 100th AFL game, while both Patrick Karnezis and Jack Crisp have also earned a senior recall.

Stiller, Karnezis and Crisp have regularly been among the best players in the Lions’ Reserves this season, with Karnezis in particular impressing with his increased versatility across all areas of the ground.

The trio come into the side for Ash McGrath, Mitch Golby and Jared Polec.

McGrath will not play this weekend as the Club continues to assess a leg injury he sustained during last week’s match against Melbourne.

Meanwhile, scans this week revealed that AFL Rising Star nominee Mitch Golby has an early stage stress fracture in his foot and will miss four weeks, while Jared Polec is expected to miss just one match with a foot strain.
