The Brisbane Lions have made two changes ahead of their clash with Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
First-year player Josh Schache will return after missing last weekend’s match with general soreness, while Darcy Gardiner also returns from an ankle injury that sidelined the 20-year-old from playing against Port Adelaide.
Michael Close and Tom Cutler will make way.
Archie Smith will line-up again in the ruck for the Lions after an impressive debut, but won’t share the duty with Stefan Martin who will be rested for another week.
Bounce is at 7.10pm on Saturday.
