Nick Robertson will return to the Brisbane Lions' team for Saturday night's match against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium. 

Robertson was suspended for last weekend's match after copping a one-match ban for striking in Round 6.

Jacob Allison has been omitted. 

Chris Fagan has opted not to make any other changes to the team that pushed Collingwood all the way in Round 7. 

The Lions will go into the game with several talls, including Matt Eagles who has retained his spot in the side after a strong debut against the Magpies.

Bounce is at 7.25pm on Saturday night. 

IN: Nick Robertson

OUT: Jacob Allison
