The Brisbane Lions have made one change to the team ahead of Saturday night’s clash against West Coast at the Gabba.

2011 debutant Bryce Retzlaff has been recalled from the Reserves and will start in the forward pocket to replace injured big man Mitch Clark.

Clark has been withdrawn from the side this week with a knee injury.

Retzlaff debuted for the Lions in the Round 7 QClash against the Gold Coast, and the 195cm Queenslander has kicked six goals in his nine senior matches this year.

The Lions fielded a strong side last week against reigning Premiers and ladder-leaders Collingwood, and the side named this week is largely unchanged.

Versatile utility Brent Staker will again line up at centre half forward following two games of good form in the forward six.

2011 breakouts Niall McKeever and Patrick Karnezis have both held their positions this week, and remain the only two debutants from the season to have played every senior match since their debut.

The final Lions team for Round 23 is below:

B: Ashley McGrath (9), Matt Maguire (36), Josh Drummond (39)
HB: Pearce Hanley (11), Niall McKeever (40), Jed Adcock (7)
