The Lions have made two changes to the line-up which couldn't comeback from Hawthorn's blistering seven-goal third term last Saturday afternoon at the MCG.

 

Rhan Hooper is out after being handed a three-match suspension by the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night after losing his appeal against the striking charge on Hawthorn's Rick Ladson while Matthew Moody has been omitted.

 

Lions speedster Scott Harding has been included on the bench along with Richard Hadley who makes his welcome return to the Seniors. The Sydney Swans have made no changes to the side which defeated St Kilda last weekend.
