Dayne Zorko headlines three changes for the Brisbane Lions for Thursday night’s match with the Western Bulldogs.

Brisbane's skipper has overcome a hamstring injury and will return for the first time since Round 13 in a major boost for the team.

Zorko's inclusion will give the Lions a boost of both class and leadership for an important match with the Dogs where they will be looking to bounce back in front of a home crowd at The Gabba.

After sitting out last week as precaution due to a slight hamstring strain, the Lions veteran is set to be refreshed and recharged.

Zac Bailey will also line up in Chris Fagan's starting 22, who comes back in after missing last week’s loss to Melbourne due the AFL Health and Safety Protocol. 

Cal Ah Chee has been called up to the side after his role as medical sub last week.

It is good reward for Ah Chee who will go into battle after training well and contributing well in his limited time against the Demons.

Making way for the trio is Tom Berry, Mitch Robinson and Deven Robertson who will return to the VFL this weekend.

Thursday nights clash will see Jarrod Berry run out for his 100th game milestone. 

The Brisbane Lions will also wear their 20th Anniversary 2002 Premiership Guernsey, with the match-worn guernseys available up for auction from tomorrow.
