THE LIONS have named three changes ahead of Saturday’s clash with Hawthorn at Aurora Stadium in Launceston.
Vice-Captain Daniel Rich (glute) and Justin Clarke (jaw) will return from injury and defender Hugh Beasley has regained his place in Brisbane’s side.
Rich missed last weekend’s match against the Crows and Clarke hasn’t played since fracturing his jaw against the Gold Coast Suns in round 19.
Beasley hasn’t played senior football since the Round 17 loss to North Melbourne.
He was listed as an emergency against Adelaide.
Midfielder Jack Redden (groins) will miss after undergoing surgery during the week.
Redden had been managing the injury during the season but was flown to Sydney to see Specialist John Garvey and was operated on Tuesday.
Zac O’Brien and Trent West have been omitted.
With the final selection process completed, Rohan Bewick, Josh Watts and Zac O’Brien have been named as emergencies.
The Lions will fly to Tasmania tomorrow.
