The Brisbane Lions have made three changes for Sunday's match against the Fremantle Dockers at Optus Stadium.

Jake Barrett has been named for his first Senior game of 2018 after a string of strong performances in the NEAFL. 

After moving from the GWS Giants at the end of 2016, Barrett played 17 Senior games for the Lions in his first season and has been named as an emergency several times this season. 

He is adept up forward or in the midfield and has a knack for finding the goals. He kicked 15 goals in 2017. 

The Lions will be boosted by the return of Mitch Robinson who has been sidelined with a broken toe since Round 11.  

Daniel McStay will also return to the backline after missing last weekend's match against the GWS Giants with a shin complaint. 

McStay versatility will likely see him cover in defence for Harris Andrews who will miss the match after suffering a severe concussion against the Giants.

Defender Sam Mayes and midfielder Zac Bailey have both been omitted.

Bounce is at 2.40pm AWST (4.40pm AEST) on Sunday.  

IN: Mitch Robinson, Daniel McStay, Jake Barrett

OUT: Harris Andrews (concussion), Sam Mayes (omitted), Zac Bailey (omitted)
