TOM ROCKLIFF will resume his place as the Brisbane Lions’ skipper to take on West Coast at the Gabba on Sunday.
Rocky's back!
Rockliff broke three ribs and punctured a lung in the round one loss to Collingwood. The diagnosis for recovery was four to six weeks; however, Rockliff completed main training yesterday afternoon and will return to the side.
Tom Cutler, Mitch Golby and Nick Robertson will join Rockliff making their first appearance in the senior team for 2015 – rewarded for recent form in the NEAFL.
And despite injuring his toe during the week, Claye Beams will maintain his position in final 22.
Brent Staker and Matt Maguire have been omitted.
