Rising Star Nic Martin will also miss due to health & safety protocols. Jake Stringer will make his return to the line-up.

Brisbane Lions Injury Update & News

In a game full of injuries, the Lions escaped with a minor scare to captain Dayne Zorko but will likely feature. However, Mitch Robinson wasn’t so fortunate, after being handed a one-match suspension. Harry Sharp looks like the obvious replacement on the wing for Robinson.
