The Brisbane Lions have made one change for Sunday's match against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

Ryan Lester returns to the Senior side for the first time since Round 6. 

The versatile utility and member of the Lions' leadership group has been in strong form in the NEAFL of late.

He kicked two goals last weekend against the Swans, and had a game-high 28 disposals and 14 score involvements the week prior against Redland. 

Lester has played five Senior matches this year. 

Matt Eagles has been ruled out of the match with an abdominal injury. 

Bounce is at 1.10pm on Sunday. 

IN: Ryan Lester

OUT: Matt Eagles (abdominal)
