There have been two changes made to the Brisbane Lions team named for Sunday's match against the Carlton Blues at the Gabba. 

Key defender Darcy Gardiner has been named to make a return from injury.

Gardiner has missed the Lions' past two matches after dislocating his elbow in Round 15 against Essendon while Jake Barrett has been named on the interchange bench.

After being omitted from Senior side ahead of Round 16, Barrett picked up 35 disposals and kicked a goal in Lions last NEAFL match two weeks ago against Aspley. 

Josh Schache and Ben Keays have both retained their spots in the side after strong performances against Richmond last weekend in their return to the Senior level.
