Former North Ballarat Rebels duo and 2016 draftees Hugh McCluggage and Jarrod Berry will make their senior debut for the Brisbane Lions against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
McCluggage and Berry were impressive NEAFL performers in the Lions' win over 2016 premiers Sydney at the weekend. Both were returning from injury.
19-year-old forward Josh Schache kicked four goals in the same match and will return to the senior side after a knee injury cut short his pre-season campaign.
The team was finalised on Friday with Ryan Harwood, Ryan Bastinac and Michael Close omitted.
Bounce down is at 1:10pm (AEST). Follow the game on Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram.
