Leading goal-kicker Brendan Fevola returns after a one week stint on the sidelines with a groin injury while Irishman Pearce Hanley has also received a senior call-up.
Fevola will be a welcome inclusion for the Lions - particularly considering inspirational skipper Jonathan Brown is still at least one more week away from returning.
Meanwhile, Hanley has been selected for just his fifth senior AFL match.
The former International Rookie played three matches in his first two seasons with the Club and added a further game earlier this year when he lined up against Fremantle back in Round 7.
Sam Sheldon and last week’s first-gamer Jesse O’Brien have been omitted to make way for Fevola and Hanley.
The full Lions Round 15 team is as follows:
B: Tom Collier (22), Daniel Merrett (21), Ashley McGrath (9)
HB: Daniel Rich (10), Joel Patfull (24), Travis Johnstone (4)
C: Jared Brennan (17), Tom Rockliff (38), Justin Sherman (11)
HF: James Polkinghorne (31), Brent Staker (14), Luke Power (6)
