The Brisbane Lions have made two changes ahead of their clash with St Kilda in Melbourne on Saturday.
Bella Smith will make her long awaited debut, replacing Cathy Svarc who is unavailable due to illness.
Smith, who joined the Lions in 2021 from Maroochydore, will play her first AFLW game following a successful comeback from an ACL injury which cut her year short in 2022.
Mikayla Pauga also returns to the side replacing Caitlin Wendlend who has been omitted.
The Lions travel to RSEA Park in Melbourne for their Round 9 clash with St Kilda.
