The Brisbane Lions have made one change ahead of Sunday’s final home and away clash with St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.
Liam Dawson comes into the Lions’ line-up at the expense of Jackson Paine who will miss with a shin injury.
Dawson impressed for the Lions in the NEAFL on Sunday despite a big loss to the second-placed Giants in Sydney.
Playing as an inside midfielder the 20-year-old gathered 22 touches, 18 of those contested. He had a game high 14 tackles, seven clearances, five inside 50s and finished off with a goal.
The Lions will celebrate a milestone on Sunday with retiring defender Daniel Merrett to play his 200th and final game against the Saints.
